Including ti/syslink/Std.h in a cpp cause expected a declaration error

Lajos Rancz

Hi all,

I've added a cpp file to my project and I would like to use some types defined in ti/syslink/Std.h, but I've got the following error during compiling:

cppem3 ../src/mysource.cpp ...
"/home/lrancz/DaVinci/syslink/packages/ti/syslink/Std.h", line 125: error: expected a declaration

The cited line is the closing pair of the extern "C" line. (C style header in C++ file). The compiler is a CGT470. What's wrong?

Regards,
Lajos

I've found the problem, it's another bug in the Std.h (see: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/p/166071/609098.aspx). The closing pair of the extern "C" { is in a wrong place, it should be inside of the #endif of SYSLINK_BUILD_RTOS, not outside. See the attached screenshot.

Please fix it in the next version.

Regards,
Lajos

It's still presented in syslink_2_21_01_05.

Thanks for pointing that out. There were some improvements in newer version of SysLink to support C++ but this file was overlooked. I've filed a bug to track it. It should be addressed in subsequent release. Thanks again.
