The scl_string pragma
The scl_string pragma identifies a particular array type or pointer type as a string. The string type (ASCII or UNICODE) is derived from the element type (1-byte or 2-byte, respectively).
Syntax
#pragma scl_string(type-name, max-size) #pragma scl_string(type-name, field-name, max-size)
Parameters | Type | Description |
type-name | Type | Name of the type that contains the array/pointer:
If the container type is a structure or union and the array/pointer is a member, then field-name must be specified. |
field-name [Optional] | Member | Optional name of the array/pointer member contained within a structure/union, or the name of the pointer in the parameter list of a function. If type-name is a structure or union and the array/pointer is a member, then field-name must be specified. |
max-size | Integer | Specifies the maximum length of the string. |
Examples
1. Use the scl_string pragma to specify type definitions as null terminated ASCII strings.
#define MAX_STR_SIZE 100
typedef char ArrayAsAsciiString_t[MAX_STR_SIZE];
#pragma scl_string( ArrayAsAsciiString_t, MAX_STR_SIZE )
typedef char* PointerAsAsciiString_t;
#pragma scl_string( PointerAsAsciiString_t, MAX_STR_SIZE )
typedef struct {
char * pointerToAsciiString;
char arrayAsAsciiString[MAX_STR_SIZE];
} Struct_t;
#pragma scl_string( Struct_t, pointerToAsciiString, MAX_STR_SIZE )
#pragma scl_string( Struct_t, arrayAsAsciiString, MAX_STR_SIZE )
2. Use the scl_string pragma to specify a function argument as null terminated ASCII string.
void SetString(const char* pBuf);
#pragma scl_function(SetString)
#pragma scl_string(SetString.pBuf, MAX_STR_SIZE)
typedef struct {
char * pBuf;
} Struct_t;
void SetSructString(Struct_t tValue);
#pragma scl_function(SetSructString)
#pragma scl_string(SetSructString.tValue.pBuf, MAX_STR_SIZE)
3. Use the scl_string pragma to specify a function return value as null terminated ASCII string.
const char* GetString(void);
#pragma scl_function(GetString)
#pragma scl_string(GetString(), MAX_STR_SIZE)
typedef struct {
char * pBuf;
} Struct_t;
Struct_t* GetSructString(void);
#pragma scl_function(GetSructString)
#pragma scl_string(GetSructString()->pBuf, MAX_STR_SIZE)
