Passed Variables Getting scrambled Take Two

[mjcoury]

I'm still looking for some ideas for this problem...

I enter a routine with passed variables....

Code:

int iTVI_LCDPing(char cBouy){    iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_CLEAR   , TVI_CLEAR_ALL, TVI_DELAY);  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_FONT_SEL, TVI_FONT_MED , TVI_DELAY);    iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_COLUMN_START, 0x01         , TVI_DELAY);  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_PAGE_START  , 0x01         , TVI_DELAY);  iTVI_TransmitStr("Watch the display and press '#' to ping the ");  switch(cMyStupidGlobal)  {    case SCI_A:      iTVI_TransmitStr("Pin");    break;    case SCI_B:      iTVI_TransmitStr("Boat");    break;  }  iTVI_TransmitStr(" Bouy");    return ERROR_NONE;}

after the 5 routines, CBouy is lost and gone forever and the switch command is performend on random data.... any ideas where to start looking?

Update

I changed the code like this:

Code:

int iTVI_LCDPing(char cBouy){    char cMyTemp = (cBouy & 0xFF);    iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_CLEAR   , TVI_CLEAR_ALL, TVI_DELAY);  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_FONT_SEL, TVI_FONT_MED , TVI_DELAY);    iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_COLUMN_START, 0x01         , TVI_DELAY);  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_PAGE_START  , 0x01         , TVI_DELAY);  iTVI_TransmitStr("Watch the display and press '#' to ping the ");  switch(cMyTemp)  {    case SCI_A:      iTVI_TransmitStr("Pin");    break;    case SCI_B:      iTVI_TransmitStr("Boat");    break;  }  iTVI_TransmitStr(" Bouy");    return ERROR_NONE;}

and the problem goes away... according to the Debugging enviroment cMyTemp is never "assigned" and the problem has vanished....

Per you first implementation, the arg and the switch arg doesn't match... so I guess that the compiler optimaze your function argument, but the switch var must give you an error when compiling due it hasn't been declared... just my 2 cents.

Sorry - was changed for debugging

int iTVI_LCDPing(char cBouy)
{
 
  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_CLEAR   , TVI_CLEAR_ALL, TVI_DELAY);
  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_FONT_SEL, TVI_FONT_MED , TVI_DELAY);
 
  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_COLUMN_START, 0x01         , TVI_DELAY);
  iTVI_AddQueue(TVI_PAGE_START  , 0x01         , TVI_DELAY);
  iTVI_TransmitStr("Watch the display and press '#' to ping the ");

  switch(cBouy)
  {
    case SCI_A:
      iTVI_TransmitStr("Pin");
    break;
    case SCI_B:
      iTVI_TransmitStr("Boat");
    break;
  }
  iTVI_TransmitStr(" Bouy");
 
  return ERROR_NONE;

}

Hello

Do you have a prototype for the function iTVI_LCDPing before it gets called?

Otherwise, you may want to get one of our support engineer looking into that. I would recommend you submit  a service request for that.

Click here to submit a service request.

Make sure to attach  a project reproducing the issue and installed product information to the SR.
To make sure you provide all necessary project information, you can use the Pack and Go wizard.
  - Start the IDE
  - Open the Project
  - Select Help -> "Pack and Go"
  - Follow the instruction on the screen. That will generate a zip file containing all necessary
    information (including the installed product information).

if you mean by prototype....


i have in

tvi_lcd.h

int iTVI_LCDPing(char cBouy);


like that?

Hello

Yep. That is a prototype.
