Multiple inclusions of same files with different preprocessor settings for creation and assigning of-CodePudding

I have been running in the an error in regards to creation of variables through the Preprocessor. AppObjdict is loaded with objdict_frm.h and AppObjdict.h together with a define that controls the behavior of macros in objdict_frm.h. AppObjdict.h is an separate addition to objdict_frm.h. But the IAR compilers throws: Error[Pe169] expected a declaration

**AppObjdict.c**

#define PROTOTYPES
 #include "objdict_frm.h"   
 #include "AppObjdict.h"
#undef PROTOTYPES


s_List_Element OD_init[]=
{
#define SET_OD
#include "objdict_frm.h"
#include "AppObjdict.h"
#undef  SET_OD
    0xffff, 0, NULL
};
        
#define RESERVE_RAM
#include <objdict_frm.h>
#include "AppObjdict.h"
#undef  RESERVE_RAM

void Init_Canop_Structures(int* pNetCfg_p)
{
  pNetCfg_p=7;
#define INIT_RAM
  #include <objdict_frm.h>
  #include "AppObjdict.h"
#undef  INIT_RAM
  return;
}

The content is of objdict_frm.h is loaded correctly as well as all the macros that are used for creation of the variables. Yet the content of AppObjdict.h is not loaded and throws and error on the SET_OD section of the initialization. Guards have been removed from both objdict_frm.h and AppObjdict.h, because the same file need to be ran through several times. Why can the data from AppObjdict.h not pass the compiler?

**objdict_frm.h**

 #define CREATE_INDEX_ROM(a,b)   b,(sizeof(a##_init)/sizeof(s_SubIndex_Element)),a##_init,
#endif

CREATE_INDEX_FULL (s_dummy_8,                   0x0005)

**AppObjdict.h**

CREATE_INDEX_FULL (s_boardId,                   0x0012);

#undef  CREATE
#undef  CREATE_INDEX_VAR
#undef  CREATE_INDEX_FULL
#undef  CREATE_INDEX_ROM

Note: the amount of CREATE_INDEX_FULL has been reduced as the same operation is done hundreds of times

Thanks in advance

removed guards from the included files changed marcos slightly and cleaned them up

CodePudding user response：

There is something screwy about iar. I'm on a linux x86_64 PC and I'm unable to reproduce your problem.

I added some tracing with a SHOWME macro.

From the output (at the bottom), AppObjDict.h is being included multiple times (without any sort of #ifndef guard or #pragma once).

At a guess ... If you still have issues using my versions, iar defaults to adding an implicit #pragma once to each .h it tries to include. If so, that's [IMO] bad/dumb.
