__IO, gcc and core_cm0.h

Hello,

I am porting the Custom HID demo project that is included with STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0 library to work with my gcc-based toolchain.  I have previously successfully ported other code (specifically, from Olimex for the EW-ARM 5.11 toolchain) to work with my toolchain with little difficulty.  

Both the new code and the previously ported code uses the __IO directive in places, and the library routines such as stm32f10x_adc.c also use it and were properly compiled and built in the previously ported code.  However, the new code throws a large number of errors when it tries to compile usb_pwr.c.  The first such error is:

In file included from ./inc/usb_lib.h:37:0,

                 from src/usb_pwr.c:31:

./inc/usb_regs.h:617:1: error: unknown type name '__IO'

./inc/usb_regs.h:617:22: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'wIstr'

In file included from ./inc/usb_lib.h:39:0,

                 from src/usb_pwr.c:31:

I can make these and a large number of my subsequent errors go away by putting

#define __IO volatile

in usb_pwr.c.  However, this makes that function non-standard which I don't want to do.

After much searching I found that an identical definition is provided in the CMSIS/Include directory in core_cm0.h.  

Where and how is this header normally included in the demo code?  Or is it included in the toolchain configuration?  It must be included somewhere to compile the demo.  I would like to duplicate that inclusion in my port or toolchain without modifying the distributed STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0 because that might give me major issues when that distribution is upgraded.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Peter

On F4 parts, stm32f4xx.h #include's ''core_cm4.h''

On F1 parts, stm32f1xx.h #include's ''core_cm3.h''

Dear Sir Clive1,

Looking at this user fact, one question arise my mind,

If someone has this kind of error,

error: unknown type name '__IO'

What does it means accordance with header file?

Afterwords, if you get  , warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

This time would you mean, 

 functions are returning without providing a value when one is expected.?

Kindly answer please.

Regards

Hasan

The first suggests one or more include file is not being pulled, perhaps due to the absence of a define or other selective compilation.

The second suggests an int foo()  function has multiple exit paths and one of those doesn't return an int.

Dear Sir Clive1,

Thank you once again.

If I add those header files in include folder and linked with build path, again another problem arise.

Regarding the returns issues, this has no efffect?

#ifdef USE_FULL_ASSERT

void assert_failed(uint8_t* file, uint32_t line)

{

*/

/* USER CODE END 6 */

}

#endif

Most funny thing is, all errors come from header files, even I include by # in main.c!

I want to ask you , if I removed some folder ( previous project) which has similar include files that already exists in project properties path in C, would I face any problem?

Regards

Hasan
