Hi folks,
I've spent hours trying to debug this problem and I wonder if it's normal or a
sdcc compiler shortcoming :
I have a function defined as
void myFunc() {
blah;
blah;
}
In my program I had a :
if (complex && conditions) {
blah;
blah;
blah;
} else myFunc;
I noticed that the positive branch of the "if" was properly executed when it
had to, but for some reasons the contents of "myFunc" semt to never be
executed.
I first spent a lot of time checking and debugging the contents of "myFunc" and
found nothing. Then I spent hours debugging the conditions and the "if"
structure and still found nothing.
I finally found out that I was calling "myFunc" instead of "myFunc()" and the
compiler then simply ignored the function call and never performed it, without
a single warning or error message during compilation.
I don't know if it's "normal C behaviour" as I'm not very experienced with C
or if it's a compiler issue, I only know how frustrated I got discovering that
I had lost that much time because of a missing ()...
I would have expected a compiler message about the missing parentheses in the
function call...
So I report it here anyway, just in case... :-\
