accessor func issue with file-scope variablePosted by jinx on July 7, 2011 Hi I am having a bizarre issue and I just want to know if it is an RTOS issue. I have a local file-scope array static double MeasValues[NumMeas]; in a file called measurements.c This array has individual measurements located within it such as temp, press, flow, etc. I have an accessor function defined in this same file to provide a get_ for these measurements; an example is: double blck_getFlowMeasurement(void) { double flow; if(xSemaphoreTake(measMutex, portMAX_DELAY) == pdTRUE) { flow = MeasValues[Flow]; xSemaphoreGive(measMutex); } return flow; } This local variable is being updated in the measurements.c file as follows: static void measTask( void *pvParameters ) { int i; portTickType xLastWakeTime; xLastWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount(); for( ;; ) { if(xSemaphoreTake(measMutex, portMAX_DELAY) == pdTRUE)//updating the measurements { /*todo * 1. store these measurements locally - done * 2. provide access to other external functions * 3. to these values */ printDebug(" for(i=0; i if(*(Measurements.MeasFuncPtr) != NULL) { ADC_Values = readADC(Measurements.adc, Measurements.adcChannel); MeasValues = Measurements.MeasFuncPtr(countsToVolts(Measurements.adc, ADC_Values)); } } xSemaphoreGive(measMutex);//done updating measurements } //block until period is over vTaskDelayUntil( &xLastWakeTime, ( MEAS_TASK_PERIOD_in_ms / portTICK_RATE_MS ) ); } } In another file called view.c I call this function periodically to get the value for these variables: static void blck_viewTask( void *pvParameters ) { char tmpString[20]; int hr, min, sec; double test; xSemaphoreTake(getRTCSemaphore(),portMAX_DELAY); for( ;; ) { //block read on RTC blck_readRTC(&hr, &min, &sec); printDebug("viewtask\r\n"); sprintf(tmpString, "%2.1f\r\n", blck_getFlowMeasurement()); printDebug(tmpString); /* Allow the other sender task to execute. */ //taskYIELD(); } } I am running into an issue where the values returned from the function blck_getFlowMeasurement() is 0.0. Any ideas as to why it is not working? I also created a local variable to read this value and I get a huge random variable. Is there something from an RTOS perspective that might be causing this?
