Recursive function call?

I keep getting "error: (1089) recursive function call to "_Screen" " and I dont know why?

The progrm worked when I had the "show_menu()" function as the main routine but I want the "Screen()" first but I need it callable from the menu array.

Where are your function definitions.... As they are not defined the compiler only seeing the calls to the functions set in the structure initialization...

If you add the definitions at the top ... see what happens..
 
they are defined in "Menu_Stuct.h"

C: 
#include <xc.h> // include processor files - each processor file is guarded. 

void show_menu(void);
void Screen(void);
void Set_Time(void);
void Lights_ON_OFF(void);
void Lights_Colour(void);
void Lights_Fade(void);

moved them to the top of Controller.C but its still the same

the only way I can get it to work is to have the menu first and then call the screen() function but I really need it the other way around.
 
It looks like you want a screen waiting for a button press... Here is my non interrupt driven routines.

setup
main
call keyhit
process keyhit
if keyhit = x then function x
if keyhit = y then function y
if keyhit = z then function z​
draw normal screen
goto main​

function x
while
call keyhit
process keyhit
if keyhit = x then function sub x
if keyhit = y then function sub y
if keyhit = z then return​
draw menu screen
goto while
​
 
Yeah sort of, but how do I get out of the menu array to get back to the main routine or do I need to write the menu diferently?
 
Using function pointers will inevitably require some serious forethought... I usually keep away when I can..

Each sub function should have a return to the last call otherwise all hell breaks loose..

I have around 4 nested menus on my RCI unit Each has a simple return to the previous menu.. I just use a menuitem variable to keep track of where I am.. I can use this to access screen data off chip and all my menu functions are virtually identical apart from the different sub text used...

Also I almost never use clear LCD... If you have a buffer ( say 17 characters ) just write the buffer to the screen and update the buffer.. That way the code can be repeatable.. ie... you don't need as much..

I'd love to show you a snippet of my code, but as it's a commercial product.... ! Nope.

Quick question?? If the function pointer == null

C: 
 if (menu[selected].fp == 0) {
  selected = menu[selected].enter;
  ClearXLCD();
What happens?

It goes to what ever array line is in the "enter" column unless there is a funtion declared i.e;

C: 
{menu_002, 1, 3, 5, 0}, //2 // Goto lights 6

goes to

C: 
{menu_101, 5, 6, 5, Lights_ON_OFF}, //5

which is the sub menu for the Lights. whereas this one will go to Lights_ON_OFF function.



I used a tutorial on youtube for the menu structure and tried to adapt it for my purpose
 
I do like compact menu options, but as you only have a couple of functions, just call them when needed..

I'll see if I can modify your code... Then you will see if its better or not..

To make your code to work as is... Set the last menu to -1 instead of screen() then change the code slightly to force a return..

C: 
if (menu[selected].fp == 0) {
  selected = menu[selected].enter;
  ClearXLCD();
  } else if (menu[selected].fp == -1) {
 return;
  } else {
  menu[selected].fp();
  }

Then if should to return to screen() normally..
 
Thankyou ill give that a try.

I made a flow chart to make it a bit easier for me to work to the yellow boxes are setting changes

 
XC8 has so called "compiled stack". It is supposed to be more efficient, but it cannot handle recursive call. It doesn't matter whether you actually do recursive calls. It is enough if the code is complex enough that the compiler cannot figure out if the recursive calls will occur or not. In such situation, the compiler cannot build its "compiled stack", so it bails out.

I think there's a compiler option which turns off the "compiled stack" and then the compiler builds a regular stack which can support recursion. If you use this option, your code should be fine.

Wont compile it wont except the -1

error: (208) operands of "==" not same type

Ill have a look in the settings, Thankyou.
 
But I'm sure this doesn't require this.... All that is needed is the return to screen(); If the compiler doesn't accept the -1 ( should have done ) there will be another way... If you set the text to "return" you will be able to compare the string..
 
Try this.. You may have to include the <string.h>

C: 
if (menu[selected].fp == 0) {
  if(!strcmp(menu[selected].text, "Done") return;
  selected = menu[selected].enter; 
  ClearXLCD();
  } else {
  menu[selected].fp();
  }

Also the ClearXLCD() may need to be called..

Yes That worked, Thankyou.
Had to add a counter so the main program knew it had been through the menu and to only call ClearXLCD() once otherwise it flickered...
C: 
if (Clock == 1) {
            Clock = 0;
            ClearXLCD();
        } else {
            Clock = 0;
        }

Now if I can only get the RTC to count to 24 and not 20 i'll be happy :banghead:
 
Like I said... I never use clear lcd routines... I have a small buffer that I update continually then I write the new data over the old... That way there is no flicker at all... Its called double buffering..
