my first C++ needs help

[vibnwis]

Hi there,
I followed Kolban's youtube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ttiPfmrehU&t=41s, and managed to build successfully and later flashed to ESP-WROOM-32 board. However, I got this message and stayed there forever. It looks like something RAM configurations has failed. However, I have confirmed with non-C++ program, the helloworld and it works.

Can someone advise please?

Do you have any global or static objects with non-trivial constructors in your code?

[vibnwis]

The global and static variable is tag[]. Is this the cause of the problem?

#include <esp_log.h>
#include <string>
#include "sdkconfig.h"


static char tag[]="cpp_helloworld";

extern "C" {
void app_main(void);
}

class Greeting {
public:
void helloEnglish() {
ESP_LOGD(tag, "Hello %s", name.c_str());
}

void helloFrench() {
ESP_LOGD(tag, "Bonjour %s", name.c_str());
}

void setName(std::string name) {
this->name = name;
}
private:
std::string name = "";

};

void app_main(void)
{
Greeting myGreeting;
myGreeting.setName("Neil");
myGreeting.helloEnglish();
myGreeting.helloFrench();
}

Howdy,
I'm delighted to say the solution for this is easy (because Ive seen it before).

Look at this statement:

ESP_LOGD(tag, "Hello %s", name.c_str());

This is what performs the logging of the message to the console. We can log at a variety of levels:

ESP_LOGD - means log at debug level.

Change the ESP_LOGD statements to ESP_LOGI (which means log at the information level).

Alternative, use "make menuconfig" and enable logging at "debug or above".

Please try the above and post back if it doesn't work or isn't clear.

Hi Kolban,

Many thanks for the detailed explanation. I read about this in the other discussion. However, did not really understand until you explained here.
It works now

Thank you so much
