Solved Source Processor: Platform-dependent function signatures

Hi,

the source processor is throwing an error for this constructor:

#ifdef __APPLE__
CBlowFish::CBlowFish(const unsigned char* ucKey, unsigned int keysize, const SBlock& roChain, bool backwardsCompatibility_) : m_oChain0(roChain), m_oChain(roChain)
#else
CBlowFish::CBlowFish(const unsigned char* ucKey, size_t keysize, const SBlock& roChain) : m_oChain0(roChain), m_oChain(roChain)
#endif
{
...

The error is:
error: Expected ',' or '{', found 'CBlowFish' instead.

I know the source processor does not parse preprocessor statements, so yes, this might look like a syntax error to it. But it's not. This had always worked, and still does. So how can I tell the source processor to shut up about it?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hi Frank, thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to the reported issue, which I suppose it's happening on your side, you can consider, rather than disabling uncrustifying, modifying your code as:

CBlowFish::CBlowFish(const unsigned char* ucKey, unsigned int keysize, const SBlock& roChain
#ifdef _APPLE_
 , bool backwardsCompatibility_
#endif
) : m_oChain0(roChain), m_oChain(roChain)

Looking forward to see if it works for you, give best.

I managed to get rid of the error by adding this line to projectdefinition.txt:

DontUncrustify="blowfish.cpp"

But since this disables all source processor activity on this file, as I understood it, I wonder if there is no "cleaner" way to suppress just this one false error.

Hi Riccardo,

thank you! I'll try that.
Admittedly, it doesn't really improve code readability

Best greetings,
Frank

It builds, and the source processor does not complain. Thank you!
