RTX166 TINY: Can't Define Taskes in EC++

Information in this article applies to:

• C166 All Versions

SYMPTOM

When I try to define an RTX166 task, in a .cpp file, the compiler complains

error: expected a {

CAUSE

The EC++ compiler functions as an add-on to the C166 compiler, not as a stand-alone tool. All output from EC++ gets run through C166 before linking.

RESOLUTION

Simply define your _task_ and interrupt functions in a .C file. Everything winds up in the C compiler eventually.

• Refer to Defining Tasks in the RTX166 Tiny User's Guide.
