Using FreeRtos C++ wrapper with uGFX


Victor

Recommended Posts

Hello Victor,

If it's a true C++ wrapper then that means that the C interface should still be accessible. Therefore, the current FreeRTOS support should still work perfectly fine for you and you'd probably just encounter a build issue.

If the C functions are not accessible then the easiest way would be to create a new GOS port for FreeRTOS C++ (so you'd create gos_freertos_cpp.h/c) and use the FreeRTOS C++ interface in there. Optionally you could keep using the existing gos_freertos.h/c file and just add a macro to the configuration file which is something like GFX_FREERTOS_USE_CPP and in the existing port you'd use #if and #else to add your new FreeRTOS C++ wrapper code along the existing C one.

I hope that helps.

Hello Joel,

Yes. C interface is accessible, but don't correlate with C++ instance of FreeRTOS. Build without problems but when uGFX using FreeRTOS functions HardFaultHandler occurs as was expected.

I tryed to replace original gos_freertos.h/c to my gos_freertos.h/cpp. It seems to me, builder apply C compiler to them. C compeler don't know these keywords like class, etc. I don't know, can I use functions declared as C functions and defined with C++, if I have correctly explained.

As the result files, are something like these ( please excuse me for barbarism) :

P.S. At the begining I compiled these files isolated with C++ compiler, and had been build well. But when I tryed to replace(and embed) original uGFX files, compiler began to sware to C++ lexis in my FreeRTOS wrapper. (excuse me for my english)

Hello Victor,

Mixing C++ and C code is not always as trivial as it looks. There are always some nasty things to keep in mind like not including C headers after C++ headers and similar things. Inclusion order matters here.
You indeed have to create a C++ file for your FreeRTOS port. In that, you can declare your C functions (the ones required by GOS) and the linker will be able to link them properly. There are other things you have to keep in mind like encapsulating your function prototypes in the extern "C" blocks:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

  ...

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

I can't have a closer look at your files right now (and I can't try it) but I've attached a GOS port that I wrote some time ago that allows using µGFX inside of a Qt application. The Qt stuff is all C++ as well just like your FreeRTOS C++ wrapper. Have a look at those files. Maybe that helps:

Note that I wrote a simple wrapper class around the QThread class because the QThread class doesn't offer certain things that are required. I assume that the FreeRTOS C++ wrapper won't require that workaround.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. We're happy to help where ever we can. Just currently on the road so not much I can do right now.

If the c freerros functions are available then it should all just work when you use the c++ wrapper for other freertos calls. The hardfault that you got is likely related to something else. Debug that first before going to the trouble of writing a probably unneeded cpp freertos gos port.
