Problem with jumping from a function to another and back again

admin — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:31:36 GMT

Hi. Below are 2 functions:

byte self_test(void)
{
...

...

testing();
}

byte testing(void)
{
...

...

self_test();
}

From the testing function, I'm able to jump to the self_test function since the self_test function is declared above the testing function. However, I'm unable to jump to the testing function if I'm in the self_test function because the testing function is declared below the self_test function. Anyone knows a way to jump between these 2 functions continuously? Thx

Do you mean compiler produces warnings or doesn't compile at all because of missing testing() prototype? Then add it above self_test():

byte testing(void);

Thx for the reply. The compiler cannot compile at all because it cannot find testing(). And if I put testing() above self_test(), then the compiler will not be able to find self_test(). Therefore I'm only able to jump from one function to the other, but not vice versa.. lol. I've tried inserting "byte testing(void);" above self_test(). But the compiler still cannot compile

If prototypes doesn't solve it, the problem is related to something else. Post the code.

Here's the portion I added. I inserted "byte testing(void);" above self_test(), but it still doesn't compile

byte testing(void);

byte self_test(void)
{
...

...

testing();
}

byte testing(void)
{
...

...

self_test();
}

Cryptical,

What does the complier reports? Can you post here the compiler error message? I guess the problem is somewhere else.

Hi. I've tested kef's method again. Now it works. I don't know what went wrong before. Lol. Thx for the help guys
