STM32CubeIDE routines will not return double values correctly

[Barber.Mark]

Hi,

i have a confusing problem, i have a simple routine to compute values and it needs to return the result as a double. just before the return the value is correct but the calling routine does not get passed this value. i know there can be some alignment issues with double variables. i am using STM32CubeIDE Ver 1.18.1 To overcome i simple create a global variable and assign this the right value and it all works. however why am i not able to return the double value?

any help appreciated.

Hi Mark,

can you please provide more details?

Which MC or board do you use? Which project settings apply? How does your code look like?

 

A full example (as small as possible) would help to help you.

Remember that we can't see your code, so can't comment on what might be wrong.

Therefore, as @mfgkw said, please show a minimum but complete example which illustrates.

See: How to insert source code

How do you observe the value? Are you sure this isn't just a problem with the debugger not properly presenting double values...?

Note that this is rather old - current version is 2.0.0.
