ESP32 uart event example not able to compile as CPP

Postby paddynoob » Wed Feb 24, 2021 2:24 pm

Hello,

I use uart events in one of my projects and was able to build it using c, but it fails when using cpp. I tried the same with the official example found here
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... art_events

It compiles well if using it as is. But as soon as I change file extension to cpp, build fails with these errors:

Code: Select all

Even if I add the failing cases, it still fails with the same error. Please note also, a default case is also there. I tried the official example which looks like this:

    //Create a task to handler UART event from ISR
    xTaskCreate(uart_event_task, "uart_event_task", 2048, NULL, 12, NULL);
}

and I build it simply with

C++ is not C! C++17 even removes trigraths although I think ESP toolchain is C++11/14 ATM. Won't be long though.
Also you might have different compiler flags in your make file from C to CPP. I often do.

I would say that C++ warnings and errors are there for a reason. Code developed in C might miss the warnings/errors now caught by C++. The C compiler is just not thinking the modern way.
You have some choices; (1) Disable the permissive warning (-fpermissive) and other warning to error flags, (2) Fix the warnings.
I would suggest (2) and as you make the changes consider why the change is an improvement.
Learn a lot that way.
PS I -Wall and fix all. ESP seem (rightly) going the same way. A warning is telling you about an error you have not found/added yet. Review and argue for acceptance takes longer than fixing and still risks error.
& I also believe that IDF CAN should be fixed.

Hello

thank you for your answer. I know c++ in not C and there are reasons I want to use c++ instead.
But I don't understand why there are warnings related to
enumeratuon value not handled

They occur even if I add them and even if there is a default case. From my knowledge this should work.

Cool,
I did not see 'UART_EVENT_MAX' in your code but then 'default' should cover it.
Sometimes the build system breaks.
Delete '/build' and rebuild all again. An idf config update should also force a rebuild all.
If not cut and paste the switch code and post a MVE.

PS
Go C++. It makes sense. That said all my low level drivers are C, portability & force of habit I guess. Application is C++ all day long.
& I also believe that IDF CAN should be fixed.
