CCS PCH C Compiler 3.223 Problem with linkedlist
PostPosted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 1:41 am     Reply with quote

Hi,
I am doing my diploma thesis at the moment. I am implementing a location system usin PIC Processors.
Received information has to be stored dynamically in a linked list (at the beginning - later a search tree should be therefore used).

Usually a linked list shouldn't be the problem, I already got the linked list running using the gcc compiler.

Here is the Code:
nlist.h:

Code:
typedef struct listnode{
  float x;
  float y;
  float z;
  byte id[8];
  unsigned int hop;
  float distance;

} ElementType;


typedef struct Node *PtrToNode;
typedef PtrToNode List;
typedef PtrToNode Position;

List MakeEmpty( List L );
int IsEmpty( List L );
int IsLast( Position P, List L );
Position Find( ElementType X, List L );
void Delete( ElementType X, List L );
Position FindPrevious( ElementType X, List L );
void Insert( ElementType X, List L, Position P );
void DeleteList( List L );
Position Header( List L );
Position First( List L );
Position Advance( Position P );
ElementType Retrieve( Position P );



nList.c:
Code:

#include "nList.h"
#include <stdlibm.h>
#include <stddef.h>

struct Node
{
  ElementType Element;
  struct Node *Next;
};


List MakeEmpty( List L )
{

  L = malloc( sizeof( struct Node ) );
  //if( L == NULL )
  //FatalError( "Out of memory!" );
 
  L->Next = NULL; //<-------------- ERROR
  return L;
}




But with CCS C Compiler i got this strange error message:
Line 22 -> Expecting a structure / union.

The CCS Compiler defines NULL as 0 - this is the problem - how should I implement the linked list?
Any hints are wellcome.

Thanks for your Help,
Gerald

I worked on your problem a little bit yesterday, but don't have a
conclusion for you. I don't have PCH vs. 3.223. The closest I have
to that is vs. 3.230. I installed it, and was able to duplicate your
problem.

I then installed PCH vs. 3.249, and the compiler doesn't give any
error messages with that version.

I tried to find a work-around, so it would work with your earlier version.
I tried to cast the NULL to a 'List' data type, but that didn't work.
I tried using a variable of type 'List', instead of NULL, and that didn't
work either. At that point, I gave up. It could be that a work-around
is possible, but the other choice is to upgrade the compiler.
