C programming question - using in arduino

[shuggans]

Hey all - my friend and I are trying to get this code to work, but the compiler is giving us the error: "initializer fails to determine size of '__c'".

We are TRYING to create a variable, then assign it the value of whatever is read on the rx serial port pin, then printf that variable.

#include "hardware.h"


// Initialise the hardware
void appInitHardware(void) {
	initHardware();
}
// Initialise the software
TICK_COUNT appInitSoftware(TICK_COUNT loopStart){
	return 0;
}
// This is the main loop
TICK_COUNT appControl(LOOP_COUNT loopCount, TICK_COUNT loopStart) {

if(myUart.isRxBufferEmpty() == false) {
	int InstreamData = myUart.read();
	if(InstreamData != 0){
		PRINTF(stdout,InstreamData);
	}
}
	return 0;
}

i think the size of your code is greater than what the chip you have can take
also where is nothing in the program? all of them are comments?


i may be wrong, i dont have much arduino knowledge. but no one replied so here i am.

These chips can handle WAYYY more code than this . The problem I dont believe its even related to arduino or the chip at all.. this is a c compiler giving the error before it ever hits the chip

#include <hardware.h>


// Initialise the hardware
void appInitHardware(void)
{
	initHardware();
}
// Initialise the software
TICK_COUNT appInitSoftware(TICK_COUNT loopStart)
{
	return 0;
}
// This is the main loop
TICK_COUNT appControl(LOOP_COUNT loopCount,TICK_COUNT loopStart)
{

if(myUart.isRxBufferEmpty()==false) 
           {
	        int InstreamData=myUart.read();
	        if(InstreamData!=0)
                   {
		printf(stdout,InstreamData);
	        }
           }
	return 0;
}

try this. copy paste it.

ithink i may have fixed a couple of grammatical errors. have you tried running it in borland C ?

Mentioning the line number for the error would make things much easier

You are using printf wrong. Parameter 1 is a format string, not a file handle (looking for fprintf?)

also see the comment on that page about PSTR()

line 23: the printf error. I think it's because we're tryign to call a dynamic value
