 Intialize the list of functions with runtime library common function Hi All,
I have init function in two different file x.c & y.c, like follow:
x.c
---
init_x() { ...my code.. }
y.c
---
init_y() { ...my code.. }
I want to initialize 2 above function with runtime lib function
init_all(). "init_all()" should be a common function to intialize all
of the above functions:
main.c
------
#include "rtLib.h"
init_all();
Is there any way to add(init_x(), init_y()) into list or linklist of
functions & intialize all of the above functions using init_all()
call.
rtLib.h
-------
extern init_all();
rtLib.c
-------
init_all() {
//I want initialize init_x(), init_y() functions over here
//Please note: I can't write init_x(), init_y() over here, as
//init_all() is in runtime lib, written before x.c, y.c file
//But I can define a linklist of function & call
//each of the functions in list over here
Quote: }
Any Idea..
Thank you for your time.

access to the code) for init_all(). Assuming that to be true, you
could just use an array of pointers (which in this case would hold
pointers to functions). Pass the pointer to init_all() (or use a
global pointer variable if you want to, depending on your preferences
with respect to global namespace pollution). In init_all() go in a
while loop and iterate for every pointer you find in the array and
stop when you find a null pointer.
Something like the following should work (this is a rough sketch:check
for errors and/or bad coding)
typedef void (*f)(); /* declare pointer to function type */
void init_x()
{
printf("init_x called\n");
Quote: }
void init_y()
{
printf("init_y called\n");
Quote: }
void init_z()
{
printf("init_z called\n");
Quote: }
f fp[4] = {init_x,init_y,init_z,0}; /* terminate array with null to
signify end */
--- somewhere else in rtlib.c ---
init_all()
{
int i = 0;
while (fp[i] != 0)
{
fp[i](); /* call function */
i++;
}

This solution will not work, As init_x() is in x.c, init_y() is in y.c
& init_z() is in z.c. I know you suggested solution, but where can I
write "f fp[4] = {init_x,init_y,init_z,0};". As I have mentioned,
init_all() is in runtime library. My problem is I have to add init_x()
function in function pointer list/array in x.c(same file of init_()
function) & same procedure for init_y(), init_z().
And one more thing, no. of init function are not same all time. I need
a solution, whenever I write init_xyz() function & I should be able to
add that function in initilization array() in same .c file. There is
no other file, where I can write things like follow:
f fp[4] = {init_x,init_y,init_z,0}; //As no files know how many
init() I have
Thank you for your replies & time.

Intialize the list of functions with runtime library common function Avin,
It seems that you have a problem that you need to pass a
data-structure to a function, which could be a global data-structure,
but you don't have a place where you want to initialize this. That is
the key to your problem and I guess you will have to figure out a way
to initialize this global data-structure, in the application (main())
or somewhere else. There is no way that the init_all() can figure out
on it's own where to look if it is a runtime library.
Take a look at the other implementations out there, especially in the
provided runtime libraries, and see what they do for the same thing.
Sorry for not having a simpler solution for you.
