B4R Question how return bool from inline-c ?

[peacemaker]

Hi, All

Is it possible ?



Now for ESP32 it's compiled OK, but if to switch to ESP32-C3 it's errors like:

where code is like:

Dim res As Boolean = RunNative("prepare_bh1750", Null)

...
#if C
B4R::Object returnvalue;

B4R::Object* prepare_bh1750(B4R::Object* o) {
...
    return returnvalue.wrapNumber(lightMeter.begin(BH1750::CONTINUOUS_HIGH_RES_MODE));
}

Just cast the " lightMeter.begin(BH1750::CONTINUOUS_HIGH_RES_MODE) " to a boolean.

 

[hatzisn]

And also set the returned value to a B4R::Object*. You say to the compiler I will return A pointer and you return a B4R::Object.
(although I believe you set the object and then return its pointer?... Since the object is local variable does it remain in memory?)

Edit: Sorry my bad. It is global variable.

I'm a blind kitty with Inline-C ,maybe any example ?

I'm a blind kitty with Inline-C ,maybe any example ?

I am an one eyed sleeping kitty which feels sleepy with closing eyes. ?. I have saved in my YouTube library a 12 hour C++ lesson. Let me get it and I will post it in a while...

 

[hatzisn]

Here it is. Not 12 hours though but almost 32. 4 full time workdays.

 

[hatzisn]

Try this:

returnvalue = B4R::Object.wrapNumber(lightMeter.begin(BH1750::CONTINUOUS_HIGH_RES_MODE));
return returnvalue* ;

 

[peacemaker]

And how bool here casted to B4R.boolean ?

returnvalue = B4R::Object.wrapNumber(lightMeter.begin(BH1750::CONTINUOUS_HIGH_RES_MODE)); return returnvalue* ;

Error

Solved as:

Dim res As Byte = RunNative("prepare_bh1750", Null)
    If res > 0 Then
....

#if C
BH1750 lightMeter(0x23);
B4R::Object returnvalue;

B4R::Object* prepare_bh1750(B4R::Object* o) {
    bool begun = lightMeter.begin(BH1750::CONTINUOUS_HIGH_RES_MODE);
    Byte a = begun;
    return returnvalue.wrapNumber(a);
}

How shortly to cast bool into Byte in C++ ?


p.s.

bool input = true;
byte value = *((byte*)(&input)); // 1

//KILL ME ! it's simple ... .As(a bullet in the head)... God bless Erel.As(B4X)...

[/CODE]

Is casting a bool to Byte that easy? I did not know that... I always thought (C# and Java oriented thought) it would be something like your second code:

p.s.

bool input = true;
byte value = *((byte*)(&input)); // 1

Seems, just there is no bool type in B4R classes to cast from C++, so i used Byte.
But latest C++ variant from Google - it's ... i could not imagine such "simple" casting...
