I know that the various Cypress development tools are supposed to be C99 compatible.
Though this is by now a very old standard, it's commendable to at least aspire to this compatibility.
One of the important improvements to the C language that was part of C99 was the introduction of the <stdint.h> header file that defines fixed-sized integral types in a compiler-independent way.
Despite this, the Cypress header and source files continue to use Cypress' own fixed-size integral types instead of those from <stdint.h>. This header is actually included in <cytypes.h> but not used in Cypress' code.
Why not step boldly into this millennium and replace those typedefs with the C standard ones?
That is: instead of uint32 use uint32_t, etc.
Customers' legacy code can still be compatible through the existing <cytypes.h> header, but there's no reason for Cypress' own code to use the old definitions. So instead of the current definitions in <cytypes.h>, this header could just do this:
#include <stdint.h>
typedef uint8_t uint8;
typedef uint16_t uint16;
typedef uint32_t uint32;
typedef int8_t int8;
typedef int16_t int16;
typedef int32_t int32;
/* Signed or unsigned depending on compiler selection */
typedef char char8;
#if(!CY_PSOC3)
typedef int64_t int64;
typedef uint64_t uint64;
#endif /* (!CY_PSOC3) */
Solved! Go to Solution.
