Eclipse header files

Writing good header files and interfaces is important. I hope I gave you some food for thoughts and a few ideas how to create and maintain interface files. Hello Erich! Excellent post talking about the fundamentals! I really appreciate. It is good to be refresh the topics!

Thanks very much! Like Liked by 1 person. Like Like. This needs only one line and there could not be Name conflicts. Most compilers Support this pragma. In the corresponding. This ensures that the header is self contained. Besides the Init and Deinit functions often a Run function is needed to handle cyclic behavior of a modul. Like Liked by 2 people. I avoid pragmas, because they are largely not portable. And in this case, the language tools with the ifndef … endif does the job. Yes, there is a potential issue with the naming of the define.

But one should be anyway careful with naming the header files, not be in conflict with an existing name, otherwise the include order might be an issue, depending what the compiler includes first, especially for recursive includes which should not be used, anyway. So I do not recommend using such a pragma once. In that case the cyclic behavior will be created with a task during the init function: another nice way to use an RTOS, as that way I can hide more of the internal workings.

Interested in knowing what are your thoughts of implementation within header files? Especially in the case of a simple function such as a return of the inner variable in your getter function? See the extended article where an inline function returns the value of the flags. This can speed up things, but only with the compiler actually inlining that function. To me, there is always a trade-off between readability, encapsulation, data hiding and efficiency.

You can pick one or two, but it will affect the other aspects in a negative way. A lot of small functions are defined not declared in the. Then first, you avoid to type twice the function header declaration in. What to you think? Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password.
