| Printf is too long? Complex? |

Hi All,
I got this error:
| Quote: | | Line 148(24,31): Expression too complex |
Its on a print statement that's printing 14 floats and 9 ints but these are elements in an array of structs.
I do get this is a long print and that i might be pushing it.
Ive solved it by printing in 2 stages but since all, except for the "Index" which is not part of the struct, this is exactly 64 bytes or half a page... so i would really like to do this in one print.
Is this error normal?
Version 5.013 since 5.078 still gives me the endif error and this code is a spin off from that particular code from one of my last posts.
| Code: | fprintf(lcd_putc,"EEPROM LOG#%u: %3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%3.2f,%u,%u,%u-%u-%u/%u:%u:%u\r\n",
Temp_Index,
Log_Buffer[Temp_Index].DP_Value1,

Honestly, why not have the DP.values as an array?.
There is no disadvantage at all in using multiple printf's, rather than one,
and it'd be more efficient in code size, and handling to just use:
| Code: |
fprintf(lcd_putc,"EEPROM LOG#%u: ", Temp_Index);
for (count=1;count<14;count++)
fprintf(lcd_putc,"%3.2f,", Log_Buffer[Temp_Index].DP_Value[count]);
|
This will be about 1/10th the actual size in terms of the code, to the
single printf.
You could also cheat if you don't want to re-declare the variable, by using
#locate, to put a second array variable into the same memory location.
There is a limit in printf, on the maximum length of the format string. I think
if I remember correctly, it is somewhere just over 100 bytes. This is what
you are hitting. |

Thanks for the Array idea!
I could extend that to the other ints too.
So an array of structs, with each struct containing 2 arrays, 1 for 14 floats and the other 8 ints.
I like it... now ill have to see how this configuration affects the rest of the code.
but i do like it!
Thanks for this unexpected sugestion!

Yes, there is a limit, I found that out years ago....I use multiple lines, easier to keep track of individual items and easy to edit the 'format' of them as well.
