Hi all,

I'm using USART and communicating via rs 232 protocol and trying to send formatted strings by using stdarg.h C library to use;

va_list, va_start, va_arg, va_end..

but I don't know which library is supposed to add.. In some examples somehow some people could use it.. 

Thanks,

#stdarg.h

Can't you just use printf() or sprintf() ... ?

No, I can't. In order to use these, I guess I'm supposed to add some including .h files or something like that..

Hi Onay,

Using printf is generally a good idea. On the Raisonance compiler toolchain, it automatically adapts to your project hence the printf size is very small.

You just need to add #include <stdio.h>, then printf() is available as usual.

Note that printf emits characters on the USART by default, but you can write your own putchar function that fits your needs if it was your choice (looks like it should be OK for you).

Best Regards,

''On the Raisonance compiler toolchain, it automatically adapts to your project hence the printf size is very small.''

When I used Raisonance (which is, admittedly, a few years ago), you had to configure this manually - has that changed, then...?

Don't bother worrying about N's negative comments.

He has been doing this all through the forum.
