GSourceHandle ???

[AlexK17]

Hi.

GSourceHandle enterHandle = ginputGetToggle(GINPUT_TOGGLE_ENTER);

Why can this string cause a compiler error? 

Error[Pe059]: function call is not allowed in a constant expression

but if use

#define enterHandle   ginputGetToggle(GINPUT_TOGGLE_ENTER)

It does not cause an error and works fine.

Compiler IAR 7.5

Best regards, Alexandr.

If the line specified is right at the top of the function my guess is that it will work. If it is not at the top then you are running into a common C, C++ language misconception.

C does not allow variable definitions except at the top of a block. Once a non-variable definition statement has occurred variable definitions are not allowed in the block.

Whilst the C language does not allow this, C++ does. As many C compilers have associated C++ compilers many C compilers relax the rules and allow such definitions eg gcc.

My guess is that the IAR C compiler follows the language standard and doesn't allow this.

In general in C it is a good idea to seperate variable definitions from code to set the variables.
