Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

The undefined ref is gtk_window_new defined in GtkWindow: GTK+ 3 Reference Manual[^]. No idea what OP is trying to do, as usual he has not explained.

How did you pick that up? I copied the entire output posted at the top of this thread, and
a) a search for "undefined" turned up nothing, and
b) as currently shown, the compile completes successfully!!
Doing a quick perusal of the rest of the thread, I didn't notice any further mention of exactly what was undefined.
At this point, I have no idea what the problem is, since it looks to me like the compile/link is correct - -lgtk-3 is in the link options. Maybe Eclipse is doing something odd.

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *label;
cout << "WINDOW sample code" << endl; // prints
/* Create the main, top level window */
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

And here is the tail of the compile / link process

It was right at the end of the build output in the previous message:

/media/z/DEV_COPY_LABEL/ECLIPSE_FOLDER/2020_228/work_228/GTK_WIKI/Debug/../src/GTK_WIKI.cpp:49: undefined reference to `gtk_window_new'

10:50:37 Build Failed. 3 errors, 2 warnings. (took 2s.689ms)

Did you search the original which did not have any errors?

I can only assume that there is an object file or library missing from the build.

[edit]
I have also tried to explain a number of times to OP that adding header files to a build has no effect on linker errors.

I need to put code from my MFC app into a C++ app for iPad. And I have read a lot to figure out what should I use to develop such a thing. Can I call your experience in order to guide me what kind of framework to use for that ? I thought the shortest way is to use a virtual machine, but I don't think that it would be possible to use virtual machine on a iPad ...

I don't developed any app for MAC OS and any extra information regarding this is useful to me.

Thank you.

for decryption : i want decrypt and play video file (encrypted.mp4) in my player source c++ (ffmpeg base) and *now i dont wnat use decrypt file with command line with ffplay.exe *like this :

C++

ffplay SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb_encrypted.mp4 -decryption_key
76a6c65c5ea762046bd749a2e632ccbb

how i can do decrypt with Write programing code that use FFMPEG api?

Re: Does FreeRTOS have built-in support for queues that can hold variable sized elements?

12-Jul-20 10:06

I need to debug some code executing on top of FreeRTOS that runs on an embedded ARM processor and I have no knowledge of FreeRTOS and I was hoping someone here could please help me. Image there are two threads in the entire code, one high-priority communication bus driver and one low-priority application thread. Whenever the application wants to write, it queues a struct onto a queue and when the communication driver sees that there is a struct in the queue, it pulls the struct out and starts writing over the communication bus according to the instructions in the struct. Now, let's assume the application first wants to write 1 byte and then shortly thereafter wants to write 2 bytes and the bytes to write are located on the stack and NOT in static variables/arrays. What the recommended way to handle this? Clearly the 2nd struct would be 1 byte larger than the 1st struct, but they both need to go into the same queue.

Re: Does FreeRTOS have built-in support for queues that can hold variable sized elements?

12-Jul-20 21:14

I have had a similar issue in the past, and created a struct like this:

C++

struct sq
{
    int nbytes;
// any other items
    byte queueItems[1];
}

When a struct is required it is a simple matter to allocate it dynamically from the struct size plus the number of bytes to be added to the queueItems array. The nbytes item can then be filled in with the number of bytes in the array to be handled elsewhere.

Generally you would have a circular queue of pointers to struct on the transmission queue. You don't want to be copying data around when you don't have to and it means the transmission queue is always just a pointer that the transmission sender can check what the pointer points to. In your struct you could have for example a field which would be "size to send" and then the data. You either free the struct after sending if dynamic, or clear a flag in the struct to mark it free for reuse if using static structs.

As you are feeding two threads into one queue you will also need to put a binary semaphore on queue access.

What's the closest thing to anonymous function pointers I can achieve that compiles with GCC?

Re: What's the closest thing to anonymous function pointers I can achieve that compiles with GCC?

10-Jul-20 1:28

I am writing code for an ARM processor and compiling with GCC. I have done some C# programming and there you're allowed to declare delegates inside structures. What's the closest thing I can achieve the same thing in my ARM-project? For example, it would great if I could write a state machine like this:

C++

typedef void (*readDataResultCallback_t)(uint8_t* readData, uint16_t sizeOfReadData);

typedef enum {
    STATE1 = 0,
    STATE2 = 1,
    STATE3 = 2,
} stateMachineState_e;

typedef struct __attribute__((__packed__)) {
    stateMachineState_e      state;
    uint32_t                 startAddr;
    uint16_t                 numRegsToRead;
    readDataResultCallback_t readDataResultCallback;
} stateMachineStep_s;

static stateMachineState_e state = STATE1;

stateMachineStep_s stateMachineSteps[3] = {
    {STATE1,    10, 2, { (uint8_t* readData, uint16_t sizeOfReadData) {
                         if (stringCompare(readData, "AB") {
                             ... Do stuff here...
                             state = STATE_2;
                         } else {
                             ... Do stuff here...
                             state = STATE_3;
                         }}},
    {STATE2,    20, 3, { (uint8_t* readData, uint16_t sizeOfReadData) {
                         if (stringCompare(readData, "ABC") {
                             ... Do stuff here...
                             state = STATE_1;
                         } else {
                             ... Do stuff here...
                             state = STATE_3;
                         }}},
    {STATE3,    30,  4, { (uint8_t* readData, uint16_t sizeOfReadData) {
                          if (stringCompare(readData, "ABCD") {
                              ... Do stuff here...
                               state = STATE_3;
                          } else {
                              ... Do stuff here...
                              state = STATE_2;
                          }}},
};

Do I need to write my own pre-compile code interpreter/generator script that would place the anonymous code in functions outside the stateMachineStep_s array or is there something clever I can do (perhaps with macros or C++)?

the

readDataResultCallback

member of your structure is just a fancy pointer, either 32 or 64 bits long depending on your architecture, so it can only be initialised with the memory address of a function.

So you could have something like the following...

void OnState1(uint8_t* readData, uint16_t sizeOfReadData) 
{
...
}

stateMachineStep_s stateMachineSteps[3] = {
{STATE1,    10, 2, &OnState1} 
...
}

which, to be honest, is not significantly more typing. You could also use macros to generate some of the code but that comes with it's own issues.

C++11 and greater support lambda expressions which will allow you to initialise your structs with a similar syntax to your example but in that case you would have to swap your function pointer to an std::function<> type. If you don't have c++11 support the boost library offers a similar function pointer but without the nicer lambda syntax.

It's not a matter of typing less, it's a matter of having code that is easy to read (I expect to have arount 50-60 states).

When I googled it, it seems GCC has terrific support for C++.

Could someone knowledgeable in C++ please help with the syntax for the example I provided? Do I need to put it inside a C++ file or it is possible have sections of a C-file containing C++ code?

You can't put C++ code inside a C file, but since C++ is (mostly) a superset of C, most C code will compile without issue. About the only thing you can't do is use a C identifier that is a C++ keyword (e.g. int new; will not compile in C++).
Depending on what you're running on your ARM, you might be able to get C# (mono) up and running on your ARM device (e.g. raspberry pi or similar).

There is no syntax for your example, as neither C nor C++ have such a feature. A function pointer needs to contain the address of the function to be called.

If you are allowed to use (a modern version of) the C++ compiler (g++), then something like this

C++

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

using MyCallback = function <void(const char * p, const size_t size)>;

struct State
{
  int i;
  MyCallback mc;
};


State s[] =
{
  { 10, [](const char * p, size_t size ){ for (size_t n=0; n<size; ++n) cout << p[n];}}
};


int main()
{

  cout << s[0].i << endl;

  s[0].mc( "foo", 3);

  cout << endl;

}

would work.
