Redlib trunc() unexpectedly returns 0

[danielholala]

Hi there,

I observe an unexpected result when using trunc(). I wonder if anybody could help me using Redlib with floats and libm.

Compiling, linking using Redlib and debugging

#include <math.h>

int main(void) {

  float adc_read = 123.123;
  int adc_int = trunc(adc_read);
‍‍
  //...enter infinite loop or other code
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

will give me the a value of 0 for adc_int (see attached screenshot).

If I link using Newlib instead, trunc() returns the correct result of 123. 

As a workaround, I'm now using a cast to int instead:

int adc_int = (int)adc_read;
‍‍‍

But still I'm puzzled why Redlib's trunc() returns 0? What am I missing here? According to LPCXsupport, "Redlib is just a C library" and therefore I assume it should implement at least functionality according to C90 standard.

Thanks a lot!

So trunc() is a C99 function and one that Redlib unfortunately doesn't currently implement. So I'm intrigued as to how you even got your project to build against Redlib - unless something else in your setup is providing it.

You should also note that where available, trunc() returns a double, not an int:
