Hello,
I have a requirement to use my own defined structure in the .api file. Somehow I am successfully doing this like below:
File: abc.api
REFERENCE Params;
FUNCTION Info(Params params OUT);
File: abcd.h
typedef struct {
//Common parameters
int32_t signal_strength;
int32_t temperature;
uint32_t level;
}abc_Params;
File: abcde.c
void abc_Info(abc_ParamsRef_t* params) {
//Here I can’t access the struct members
}
Could anyone please help
Hello sowviroy
*.api files do not support structures
Solution #1:
Use different functions to pass the difference structure fields
Solution #2:
abc_Params myStruc;
Use le_event_Report ( myEvtId, & myStruc, sizeof ( myStruc ) );
KR.
I do need to use a structure in an API call.
Legato documentation shows there is a provision for STRUCT. But it is not recognised by compiler.
Wasnt it supposed to work?
Hiya,
API doesn’t support a struct as a ‘datatype’.
The struct you see mentioned in the docs are just how the IPC library deals with references - they’re actually an opaque data type that you treat as a void pointer.
This has caused me grief for a couple of years…
ciao, Dave
