I'm having quite a trouble finding the reason for my current hardfault.
I'm using freertos with static memory allocation (no malloc ever used) I use new with pre-allocated buffers (new (&buffer).
I have made sure that all threads are aligned(4).
whenever I use a form of printf, my application jumps to the hardfault from the freertos call "start the first task".
I write "embedded C++" code, what is basically C89 with namespaces and classes, so nothing other than is included from c++. each includes from c files (.h) are wrapped with extern "C" so there is never ever a linkage issue.
I have tested with newlib, newlib nano and the tinyprintf from spare time libs. no difference.
also, I have never an assert failure on the malloc calls, so I am "quite" sure no newlib function accesses malloc (am I right here?)
the internet suggests its either a dynamic memory allocation issue or a stack issue. how can I prove what is causing the hardfault? I believe the hint my stack gets corrupted because of my printf calls isn't that wrong. how can I prove this? (i have never debugged stacks and would need some help debugging the stack pointer).
any other ideas?
thank you very much
example:
(void) vsnprintf( _log_buffer, C_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE, format, args ); // hardfault
(void) sprintf( _log_buffer, "huhu" ); // no hardfault
dynamic allocation overwrites:
__ATL_LINK_EXTERN_C void *malloc( size_t size )
{
(void) size;
atl::os::assert::failed((char*)__FILE__,__LINE__);
return NULL;
}
__ATL_LINK_EXTERN_C void * calloc(size_t size1, size_t size2)
{
(void) size1;
(void) size2;
atl::os::assert::failed((char*)__FILE__,__LINE__);
return NULL;
}
__ATL_LINK_EXTERN_C void *realloc(void * ptr, size_t size)
{
(void) ptr;
(void) size;
atl::os::assert::failed((char*)__FILE__,__LINE__);
return NULL;
}
__ATL_LINK_EXTERN_C void free( void * ptr )
{
(void) ptr;
atl::os::assert::failed((char*)__FILE__,__LINE__);
}

And what does your debugger say? Did you check what is the actual HF, and where it occured? Do you have one handler for all possible HF? It makes debugging much more complicated - and write the proper ones, google "how to get stored register values from the stack when HF occurs" (http://www.freertos.org/Debugging-Hard-Faults-On-Cortex-M-Microcontrollers.html). When you have it all done you can start investigate it proper way.
Unfortunately the HF-s are difficult to diagnose the "lazy way". Some code writing is absolutely necessary .
Is there a way to check the type of variable by preprocessor ?
Actually I want to do something like this :
//test.c
int main(void)
{
TYPE a=6;
#if TYPE==int
printf("%d\n",a);
#elif TYPE==float
printf("%f\n",a);
#endif
}
Now I use it as :
gcc -o test -D TYPE=float test.c
But it is not working. TYPE is always matching with int and giving result according to %d.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Using a combination of techniques from the following links:
https://github.com/pfultz2/Cloak/wiki/C-Preprocessor-tricks,-tips,-and-idioms
http://jhnet.co.uk/articles/cpp_magic
#define CAT(a, ...) a ## __VA_ARGS__
#define SECOND(a, b, ...) b
#define IS_PROBE(...) SECOND(__VA_ARGS__, 0)
#define PROBE() ~, 1
#define NOT(x) IS_PROBE(CAT(_NOT_, x))
#define _NOT_0 PROBE()
#define BOOL(x) NOT(NOT(x))
#define IF(c) _IF(BOOL(c))
#define _IF(c) CAT(_IF_,c)
#define _IF_0(...)
#define _IF_1(...) __VA_ARGS__
#define IS_PAREN(x) IS_PROBE(IS_PAREN_PROBE x)
#define IS_PAREN_PROBE(...) PROBE()
#define IS_INT(t) IS_PAREN( CAT(_IS_INT_,t) (()) )
#define _IS_INT_int(x) x
#define IS_FLOAT(t) IS_PAREN( CAT(_IS_FLOAT_,t) (()) )
#define _IS_FLOAT_float(x) x
#define TYPE float
int main(void)
{
TYPE a=6;
IF(IS_INT(TYPE))(
printf("%d\n",a);
)
IF(IS_FLOAT(TYPE))(
printf("%f\n",a);
)
}
You can even test it out at https://godbolt.org/ with the -E compiler option.
The preprocessor can't compare strings like that. See this FAQ. The way to do it is by #defining the options, and there is an example there to help you.
On more than one occasion I've seen crashing bugs appear on iOS 3.x due to use of a new call that was introduced in 4.x without proper checking.
Is there a way for Xcode to warn about classes, methods and procedures that are only available a later version than the deployment target?
That way I could easily list through all the code and make sure it's properly conditionalized.
I've actually released something which helps with testing this sort of thing. It's part of my MJGFoundation set of class called MJGAvailability.h.
The way I've been using it is to apply it in my PCH file like this:
#define __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_SOFT_MAX_REQUIRED __IPHONE_4_0
#import "MJGAvailability.h"
// The rest of your prefix header as normal
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
Then it'll warn (with perhaps a strange deprecation warning) about APIs which are being used that are too new for the target you set as the "soft max" as per the #define __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_SOFT_MAX_REQUIRED. Also if you don't define __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_SOFT_MAX_REQUIRED then it defaults to your deployment target.
I find it useful because I can then double check which APIs I'm using that are too new for the deployment target that I've set.
If you use XCode7.3 and above, you can set other warning flag: -Wpartial-availability, then xcode will show warning for API newer than deployment target version
On OS X at least, with recent clang/SDK, there is now a -Wpartial-availability option (add it e.g. in "other warning options")
One can then define the following macros to encapsulate code that handles runtime testing if the method is supported
#define START_IGNORE_PARTIAL _Pragma("clang diagnostic push") _Pragma("clang diagnostic ignored \"-Wpartial-availability\"")
#define END_IGNORE_PARTIAL _Pragma("clang diagnostic pop")
I haven't test on iOS though.
After digging through AvailabilityInternal.h, I realized that all available versions above the Deployment target are tagged with the __AVAILABILITY_INTERNAL_WEAK_IMPORT macro.
Therefore, I can generate warnings by redefining that macro:
#import <Availability.h>
#undef __AVAILABILITY_INTERNAL_WEAK_IMPORT
#define __AVAILABILITY_INTERNAL_WEAK_IMPORT \
__attribute__((weak_import,deprecated("API newer than Deployment Target.")))
By placing this code in a project's precompiled header, any use of an API that might cause a crash on the lowest supported iOS version now generates a warning. If you correctly guard the call, you can disable the warning specifically for that call (modified exmaple from Apple's SDK Compatibility Guide):
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
if ([UIPrintInteractionController class]) {
// Create an instance of the class and use it.
}
#pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
else {
// Alternate code path to follow when the
// class is not available.
}
This is based on Ben S's answer, but incorporates support for GCC and LLVM-GCC. GCC's deprecated attribute doesn't take a message argument like clang's, so passing one produces a compiler error in basically every file.
Place the following code at the top of your ProjectName-Prefix.pch file to get a warning for every use of an API that may not be available in all your targeted versions:
#import <Availability.h>
#undef __AVAILABILITY_INTERNAL_WEAK_IMPORT
#ifdef __clang__
#define __AVAILABILITY_INTERNAL_WEAK_IMPORT \
__attribute__((weak_import,deprecated("API newer than Deployment Target.")))
#else
#define __AVAILABILITY_INTERNAL_WEAK_IMPORT \
__attribute__((weak_import,deprecated))
#endif
As Ben says, if you're intentionally doing this (perhaps by checking for the selector at runtime), you can hide the warning using this construct:
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
- (void)conditionallyUseSomeAPI {
// Check for and use the appropriate API for this iOS version
}
#pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
Regrettably, you can't do this inside a function, at least in i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1.
To get this to work under XCode 5 you need to also redefine the NS_AVAILABLE and NS_DEPRECATED macros because CFAvailability.h distinguishes between compilers that support the attribute_availability_with_message feature. Copy the following above the "MJGAvailability.h" import in your precompiled header to get this to work with the new Apple LLVM compiler:

#import <Foundation/NSObjCRuntime.h>

it's not integrated into the toolset. one option to test this is to just create a runtime check which would assert (during development while running in newer versions of the os).
assert([<CLASS> instancesRespondToSelector:#selector(potato)]);
then just add that to one of your library's initialization routines.
you could also create a script which would count the number of warnings emitted for a specific translation - if the warning count in question changes then you have updates to make.
Latest Xcode didn't work with other answers. This works for me (only looking for UIKit issues).
The reason is that the newer clang versions have a built-in availability attribute.

No, there is no such warning. However, when you use new API (since you are obviously writing these later), just check the docs when they were available.
Also, if you're supporting 3.0 and using new SDK for development, you must absolutely be testing on actual devices running 3.0
Another thing you could do is write your own utility that parses the availability macros in the headers and then warns you if you're calling anything you shouldn't be.
However, I must reiterate, if you're targeting an older version and using the newer SDK, you must check the docs to see when API became available, and test appropriately.
I'm trying to get a third party audio library (STK) working inside Xcode. Along with the standard .h files, many of the implementation files include a file called SKINI.msg. SKINI.msg is in the same directory as all of the header files. The header files are getting included fine, but the compiler complains that it can't find SKINI.msg. What do I need to do to get Xcode to happily include SKINI.msg?
Edit: Here's the contents of SKINI.msg:

It is doubtful the compiler knows what to do with the files as the standard for the msg extension is Microsoft Outlook files.
Your problem might be that you have added them to the project when they don't need to be. For example, they might be readme files or some other form of human readable notes.
According to the Sythesis Toolkit site, the Skini.msg file:
The other important file used by SKINI
is SKINI.msg, which is a set of
defines to make C code more readable,
and to allow reasonably quick
re-mapping of control numbers, etc..
All of these defined symbols are
assigned integer values. For Java, the
defines could be replaced by
declaration and assignment statements,
preserving the look and behavior of
the rest of the code.
Usually such a file would be header (.h) in all versions of C. Try removing the .msg files from the project and see if it compiles. I'd check with their mail list to see how the files are usually handled. You might have to add a custom build script for them.
Could you post the text of the #includes, and the compiler invocation and error (just by dragging and dropping the "Compiling" and "Error" lines from the build log). You ought to be able to #include arbitrary files in C source.
