SPIMemory unable to compile using ST STM32 platform

Libraries
1

I am trying to include the SPIMemory library, but when I use “SPIFlash flash”, the code will not compile succesfully anymore.
Lib should also support STM32 according to the Libraries secrion of PlatformIO.

The code for STM32 I have is:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SPIMemory.h>

SPIFlash flash(PA15);

void setup() {
  flash.begin();
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

The result I get when compiling is:

I have no clue where the function “_GLOBAL__sub_I_flash” actually is and what the problem is.
When I make an ATMega328 project using the library, it does compile succesfully.

Add the following line to your platformio.ini file:

build_flags = -DARCH_STM32

It looks like a bug in the library but I didn’t have the time to go into details.

Yes, it’s a bug in the library. ARCH_STM32 is defined in SPIMemory.h. But before it is defined, it includes SPIFlash.h, which in turn includes SPIMemory.h. So SPIFlash.h is processed with the wrong macro definitions.

I included -DARCH_STM32 in the platformio.ini file and it does indeed compile now.
Thank you very much.
Is there anywhere I can report this bug or are there any next steps?

Issues · Marzogh/SPIMemory · GitHub I think… though it makes me wonder why noone else reported this yet o_O.

I think I fixed it in my PR here: Add more stm32 support by benjinne · Pull Request #248 · Marzogh/SPIMemory · GitHub. Can you give it a try?
