Predefined preprocessor macro __COUNTER__ used erroneously in stm32xx_hal_tim.h

[Ruud van Helden]

I think that the macro's

__HAL_TIM_GET_UIFCPY

and

__HAL_TIM_SET_COUNTER

use the predefined __COUNTER__ as an argument, while not meaning to do so. At least for the gcc compiler.

now i can't use __COUNTER__ myself .... 🙂

Am i correct?

(this kind of things happens when you don't honor the C language conventions and use reserved names that begin from __ )
