Undefinded reference error at while(1)

JustSomeGuy
Senior

Hey all,

I've been losing my mind over this error message that generates right on the while(1) line. it says "undefined reference to `SX1276' ", but SX1276 is defined in the PV section. Before, I defined it right after int main(void) {, but still got the same error. Any idea what's going on here?

Here is the main file:

In the C language, when you have a variable declared in one source file (let's say main.c) and you want to use it in another source file (let's say module.c), you typically use the extern keyword to declare that variable in the other file.

// File: main.c

#include "main.h"

int var;

 

// File: module.c

#include "module.h"

extern int var;

 

Other another way is include an external declaration of var in main.h using the extern keyword like this:

// File: main.c

#include "main.h"

int var;

 

// File: main.h

extern int var;

 

// File: module.c

#include "module.h"

#include "mian.h"

 

 

This last option is useful when severval modules use same external var.

No, it's not defined - it's just declared as 'extern':

 

/* USER CODE BEGIN PV */
extern SX12xxRegisters SX1276;

 

So you need a matching definition somewhere.

Oooh, I see.

So if the header file is included, do I not need to use extern? I just removed the 'extern' from the declaration and it returned no error.

Err, no - don't do that!

By removing the 'extern', you now have a definition in the header;  therefore, every single source file which #includes that header will get a definition - so you will end up with "multiple definition" errors.

See this post:

TL;DR: you need exactly one definition within the Project; usually in a .c file. You then have an 'extern' declaration in a header (.h file), which can be #included by any/all other .c files which need to "see" that symbol.

 

This is standard C stuff - nothing specific to ST or STM32.

Well I thought it was something to do with STM32cubeIDE but either way, thanks for clearing that up. It's not something we learned in college.

In the C language, when you have a variable declared in one source file (let's say main.c) and you want to use it in another source file (let's say module.c), you typically use the extern keyword to declare that variable in the other file.

// File: main.c

#include "main.h"

int var;

 

// File: module.c

#include "module.h"

extern int var;

 

Other another way is include an external declaration of var in main.h using the extern keyword like this:

// File: main.c

#include "main.h"

int var;

 

// File: main.h

extern int var;

 

// File: module.c

#include "module.h"

#include "mian.h"

 

 

This last option is useful when severval modules use same external var.

Awesome, typing out what a solution would look like instead of just saying 'you need this' is the best way to answer questions. Thank you for that!
