Looking back, I grabbed the wrong link. Here's the one where I preprocess, modify, them compile:

I'd be putting my wager on the coder doing something wrong rather than the compiler doing something wrong

...

Just cos a underscore can be used does not necessarily mean it should.


Not at all helpful.


Yes you are right in that context probably not....but you did decide to leave out this bit as to why it might be an error on the coder's part.

Make sure that all the component names in the file match the source file name...I got the same behavior when I copied the supply.c src to supply_2.c and didn't change any reference to supply to supply_2.

I left it out because a few posts later my course changed and I'm not trying to compile an existing file with changed names anymore.

Keep up mate, you're getting left behind. As confusing as it may be to those who might be gracious enough to help me, I can't possibly wait helplessly for people to respond. I have to keep trying things and move forward.

As to the argument of whether or not to use an underscore, it isn't my choice. The existing component I'm trying to make a "dummy" of has names with underscores.

The present issue, also mentioned previously in this thread, is that I can't seem to get a working component through the two-step process of using halcompile to preprocess the *.comp file, then 'halcompile --install' the generated C file after changing only one character in the file - the dash to an underscore.

I'll be investigating that one after I submit this. That, or I might do something more useful since this was supposed to be yet another "quick side project".

So here's a thought:

Are there different versions of components, halcompile, and whatever else needed to build components for 'uspace' or for the rt-preempt kernel I installed? If so, how to I verify what I have and correct any mismatch?

For the sake of completeness, I'll summarize the current issue.

I make a file, 'and5.comp' that's in the component generator language:
component and5 "Five-input AND gate";

pin in bit in0;
pin in bit in1;
pin in bit in2;
pin in bit in3;
pin in bit in4;
pin out bit out;

function _ nofp;

license "GPL";
;;
FUNCTION(_) { out = in0 && in1 && in2 && in3 && in4; }

Then I run the following:
linuxcnc@debian:/usr/src/linuxcnc-dev/src/hal/components$ sudo halcompile --install and5.comp
[sudo] password for linuxcnc: 
Compiling realtime and5.c
Linking and5.so
cp and5.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/

Ok, all seems well. Then I try to load it in HAL:
linuxcnc@debian:/usr/src/linuxcnc-dev/src/hal/components$ halrun
halcmd: loadrt and5
Note: Using POSIX realtime
halcmd: show
Loaded HAL Components:

     6  s32   OUT             0  and5.0.time
<snip>

...ok, this also seems to be working fine.

Now when I try to do it in two steps:
component hm2_7i76e "Fake pins from 7i76e for testing without attached hardware";
param r s32 watchdog.timeout_ns = 5000000;
pin out bit out0;
pin in bit in0;
function _;
license "GPL";
;;
FUNCTION(_) {
}

Then only preprocess:
linuxcnc@debian:/usr/src/linuxcnc-dev/src/hal/components$ sudo halcompile --preprocess hm2_7i76e.comp

Results in hm2_7i76e.c being created as below:

Now I change only the dash in the name on line 56 to an underscore and try to compile the C file:

Compiling realtime hm2_7i76e.c
Linking hm2_7i76e.so
cp hm2_7i76e.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/

No nasty errors. Seems like it worked.

Now, as before, I try to load the component in HAL:

Well I'll be a ...... damn. I swear that wasn't happening last night. It would try to load and never succeed.
linuxcnc@debian:/usr/src/linuxcnc-dev/src/hal/components$ halrun

     6  s32   RO        5000000  hm2-7i76e.0.watchdog.timeout_ns

Seems I don't need help on this anymore for the time being. Unless I can reproduce the problem, it seems.

Apparently you can use any string for indicated in red:
r = hal_param_s32_newf(HAL_RO, &(inst->watchdog_timeout_ns), comp_id,
"%s.watchdog.timeout-ns", prefix);

As seen here in blue:
r = hal_param_s32_newf(HAL_RO, &(inst->watchdog_timeout_ns), comp_id,
"%s.foofoo.dog_woof", prefix);

Do you want pins "hm2_7i76" or "hm2-7i76" ?

The real HAL file with the real 7i76 will have "hm2_7i76" (maybe hm2_7i76e" I haven't seen one)
