'register' specifier in Cube/LL

[waclawek.jan]

I have a bunch of following warnings:

c:/programs/ARMtools/EmbeddedBSPs/arm-eabi/com.sysprogs.arm.stm32/STM32F1xxxx/STM32F1xx_HAL_Driver/Inc/stm32f1xx_ll_gpio.h: In function 'void LL_GPIO_SetPinMode(GPIO_TypeDef*, uint32_t, uint32_t)':
c:/programs/ARMtools/EmbeddedBSPs/arm-eabi/com.sysprogs.arm.stm32/STM32F1xxxx/STM32F1xx_HAL_Driver/Inc/stm32f1xx_ll_gpio.h:343:22: warning: ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier [-Wregister]
  343 |   register uint32_t *pReg = (uint32_t *)((uint32_t)((uint32_t)(&GPIOx->CRL) + (Pin >> 24)));
      |

in several LL headers.

Can this please be fixed in some suitable way? One way to do that might be to replace the 'register' specifier by a macro, which would be defined based on the __cplusplus  standard preprocessor macro and its value. A simple version would be to add

#if __cplusplus >= 201703L
#define register
#endif

to each header where this occurs, but I am not a C++/build-environment specialist so don't know whether this may have some unwanted effect I am not aware off.

Thanks,

Same Issue recently:

HAL functions using archaic terms - why? 

(the "archaic term" is the register specifier)

PS:

and from 2018:

Is the "register" storage class specifier necessary in STM32 LL interfaces?

TL;DR: No.

Hello @waclawek.jan ,

Please refer to the package available on GitHub. it has been updated and this item has been removed from the header file: stm32f1xx_ll_gpio.h 

Please download the latest version of the package from the GitHub page.

thank you!

Is it just the F1 that's been updated?

The other linked threads refer to U0 and L4

Presumably (all?) others are similarly affected?

[T_Hamdi]

hello @Andrew Neil 

Yes, all of them have been updated, not just the F1.
The same change has been applied to the other affected series.

thank you!

Hi @T_Hamdi ,

thanks, that would solve it for this particular header file.

But what about other headers, e.g. https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/stm32f1xx-hal-driver/blob/a433ed968f1812eff2de76288af48aab2e369e9f/Inc/stm32f1xx_ll_rtc.h#L553 ?
