The scl_struct_sized pragma
The scl_struct_sized pragma is used to identify a sized structure. A sized structure is a C programming convention for representing a structure whose size is variable and defined by one of the members of the structure. This pragma is infrequently used, but must be used, whenever the programmer defined size does not match the C language size of the structure (as calculated by the sizeof macro).
STRIDE Version Support
Available in STRIDE 3.0.0103 (StoneSteps Tower 3) and later versions
Syntax
#pragma scl_struct_sized(type-name, size-field)
Parameters | Type | Description |
type-name | Struct, Pointer |
Identifies a structure type or structure instance whose runtime size is not the same as it C language size and contains a field whose value is the runtime size.
The following restrictions apply:
|
size-field | Member | Identifies a field within the sized structure whose value determines the actual runtime size of the structure. The following restrictions apply:
|
Examples
Example 1
This example shows the declaration for a simple sized struct.
typedef struct {
int size;
int someJunk;
int moreJunk;
} SimpleSizedStruct;
extern void f(SimpleSizedStruct* ps);
#pragma scl_function(f)
#pragma scl_struct_sized(*f.ps, size);
Example 2
This example shows the declaration of a sized struct with a conformant array.
#define SOME_BOUND 1
typedef struct {
int size;
int someJunk;
int ary[SOME_BOUND];
} ConformantArraySizedStruct;
extern void f(SimpleSizedStruct* ps);
#pragma scl_function(f)
#pragma scl_struct_sized(*f.ps, size);
