Title: compiling in VM vs. Arduino IDE
Post by perigalacticon on Sep 30^th, 2020 at 2:27am

I have a project that has been compiling in Arduino IDE for a long time. I just tried to import it into VM using VS, and it has compiling errors that haven't happened in the Arduino IDE.

Should there be any difference in the compilation compared to Arduino IDE?

It can't seem to find functions that I had defined in additional Arduino tabs / .ino files.

Thanks.

There should be no difference between Visual Micro in the Release Build Configuration and the Arduino IDE.

Can you confirm all INO files are in the project in Visual Micro (visible in the Solution Explorer window)?

I found I had to include function prototypes for some functions.

I had a function pointer array defined in my imported .ino 'defines' tab (before Setup()).

Code (c++):

void (*mode_fn_array[])() =
{function1, function2, function3, function4, function5};

The functions themselves were defined on a later tab.

It couldn't find the functions until I put in function prototypes for them before the pointer array definition. It found all my other functions though.
