Compile errors using WS2812B_STM32_Libmaple (include errors detected)

MakotoNinja · December 22, 2022, 6:10pm

Aloha Folks,

I am trying to use the WS2812B_STM32_Libmaple which seems to work fine within the Arduino IDE but I am getting compile errors within PlatformIO and VSCode.

My terminal output is as follows:

Any insight is appreciated.

But you’re using the Arduino_Core_STM32 core and not Maple core.

See documentation for switching to the Maple core.

MakotoNinja · December 22, 2022, 6:37pm

*smacks forehead* - This will hopefully be the last time you remind me of this, how embarrassing…
…and , thank you.

MakotoNinja · December 22, 2022, 7:19pm

@maxgerhardt It now appears that switching the core breaks the IIRRemote library. Again, this lib works fine in the Arduino IDE…

I am still unable to get the IRRemote lib to compile so I looked for another IR lib and found IRMP which appears to work well.

maxgerhardt · December 23, 2022, 9:03pm

But at which exact version is it installed in the Arduino IDE? Older versions may work fine, you’re using 4.0.0 here, released 4 months ago.

MakotoNinja · December 23, 2022, 9:19pm

I did actually think of that and noticed that the Arduino IDE was using 3.9.0, so I tried using that version of the lib locally but I encountered the same behavior.

maxgerhardt · December 23, 2022, 9:24pm

Very weird, because the Maple core definitely has the necessary macros to redirect the “_P” (“PROGMEM” on AVR) functions to the regular ones

github.com

rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32/blob/master/STM32F1/cores/maple/avr/pgmspace.h#L22-L33


      
          #define memcpy_P(dest, src, num) memcpy((dest), (src), (num))
          #define strcpy_P(dest, src) strcpy((dest), (src))
          #define strncpy_P(dest, src, size) strncpy((dest), (src), (size))
          #define strcat_P(dest, src) strcat((dest), (src))
          #define strchr_P(s, c) strchr((s), (c))
          #define strcmp_P(a, b) strcmp((a), (b))
          #define strncmp_P(a, b, c) strncmp((a), (b), (c))
          #define strstr_P(a, b) strstr((a), (b))
          #define strlen_P(a) strlen((a))
          #define sprintf_P(s, f, ...) sprintf((s), (f), __VA_ARGS__)
          #define snprintf_P(s, f, ...) snprintf((s), (f), __VA_ARGS__)
          #define strcasecmp_P(a, b) strcasecmp((a), (b))

let me double check if that file is also in the version PlatformIO uses… And even then, there might a difference in some activation macros that make it go unused in PIO.

maxgerhardt · December 24, 2022, 9:43pm

Very interesting, the Maple core PlatformIO uses does not have the strncpy_P macro, but the Git version does.

Seems like the used Maple core is outdated by at least one year when that commit was added.

One can work-around it in the platformio.ini:

[env:genericSTM32F103C8]
platform = ststm32
board = genericSTM32F103C8
framework = arduino
board_build.core = maple
lib_deps = z3t0/IRremote@^4.0.0
build_flags = -Dstrncpy_P=strncpy

MakotoNinja · December 24, 2022, 10:34pm

Good to know! Thank you.

maxgerhardt · December 24, 2022, 10:36pm

This is now tracked in Update Maple core package · Issue #592 · platformio/platform-ststm32 · GitHub.
