Detailed Description

These functions add diagnostic tracing to the generated code to assist in finding where a problem might occur.

Calls to these macros and functions are added when the -trace command-line argument is used. The diagnostic message can be turned on and off at both C compile and run-time. To C compile the diagnostics in, the _TRACE macro must be defined (-D_TRACE). To turn the diagnostics on at run-time, the rtxSetDiag function must be invoked with the value argument set to TRUE.

Function Documentation

EXTERNRT OSBOOL rtxDiagEnabled (  OSCTXT *  pctxt  ) 
 

This function is used to determine if diagnostic tracing is currently enabled for the specified context.

It returns true if enabled, false otherwise.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
Returns:
Boolean result.

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagHexDump (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const OSOCTET *  data,
OSUINT32  numocts
) 
 

This function is used to print a diagnostics hex dump of a section of memory.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
data Start address of memory to dump.
numocts Number of bytes to dump.

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagPrint (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const char *  fmtspec,
  ...
) 
 

This function is used to print a diagnostics message to stdout.

Its parameter specification is similar to that of the C runtime printf method. The fmtspec argument may contain % style modifiers into which variable arguments are substituted. This function is called in the generated code vai the RTDIAG macros to allow diagnostic trace call to easily be compiled out of the object code.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
fmtspec A printf-like format specification string describing the message to be printed (for example, "string s, ivalue d
"). A special character sequence (~L) may be used at the beginning of the string to select a trace level (L would be replaced with E for Error, W for warning, I for info, or D for debug).
... Variable list of parameters to be substituted into the format string.

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagPrintChars (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const char *  data,
OSUINT32  nchars
) 
 

This function is used to print a given number of characters to standard output.

The buffer containing the characters does not need to be null-terminated.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
data Start address of character string.
nchars Number of characters to dump (this assumes 1-byte chars).

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagSetTraceLevel (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
OSRTDiagTraceLevel  level
) 
 

This function is used to set the maximum trace level for diagnostic trace messages.

Values are ERROR, WARNING, INFO, or DEBUG. The special string start sequence (~L) described in rtxDiagPrint function documentation is used to set a message level to be compared with the trace level.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
level Trace level to be set.

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagStream (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const char *  fmtspec,
  ...
) 
 

This function conditionally outputs diagnostic trace messages to an output stream defined within the context.

A code generator embeds calls to this function into the generated source code when the -trace option is specified on the command line (note: it may embed the macro version of these calls - RTDIAGSTREAMx - so that these calls can be compiled out of the final code.

rtxDiagPrint

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagStreamHexDump (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const OSOCTET *  data,
OSUINT32  numocts
) 
 

This function is used to print a diagnostics hex dump of a section of memory to a print stream.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
data Start address of memory to dump.
numocts Number of bytes to dump.

EXTERNRT void rtxDiagStreamPrintChars (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const char *  data,
OSUINT32  nchars
) 
 

This function is used to print a given number of characters to a print stream.

The buffer containing the characters does not need to be null-terminated.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
data Start address of character string.
nchars Number of characters to dump (this assumes 1-byte chars).

EXTERNRT int rtxDiagToStream (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const char *  fmtspec,
va_list  arglist
) 
 

Diagnostics print-to-stream function.

This is the same as the rtxPrintToStream function except that it checks if diagnostic tracing is enabled before invoking the callback function.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context to be used.
fmtspec A printf-like format specification string describing the message to be printed (for example, "string s, ivalue d
").
arglist A variable list of arguments passed as va_list
Returns:
Completion status, 0 on success, negative value on failure

EXTERNRT int rtxPrintStreamRelease (  OSCTXT *  pctxt  ) 
 

This function releases the memory held by PrintStream in the context.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to a context for which the memory has to be released.
Returns:
Completion status, 0 on success, negative value on failure

EXTERNRT int rtxPrintToStream (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
const char *  fmtspec,
  ...
) 
 

Print-to-stream function which in turn calls the user registered callback function of the context for printing.

If no callback function is registered it prints to standard output by default.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context to be used.
fmtspec A printf-like format specification string describing the message to be printed (for example, "string s, ivalue d
").
... A variable list of arguments.
Returns:
Completion status, 0 on success, negative value on failure

EXTERNRT OSBOOL rtxSetDiag (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
OSBOOL  value
) 
 

This function is used to turn diagnostic tracing on or off at run-time on a per-context basis.

Code generated using ASN1C or XBinder or a similar code generator must use the -trace command line option to enable diagnostic messages. The generated code must then be C compiled with _TRACE defined for the code to be present.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to context structure.
value Boolean switch: TRUE turns tracing on, FALSE off.
Returns:
Prior setting of the diagnostic trace switch in the context.

EXTERNRT OSBOOL rtxSetGlobalDiag (  OSBOOL  value  ) 
 

This function is used to turn diagnostic tracing on or off at run-time on a global basis.

It is similar to rtxSetDiag except tracing is enabled within all contexts.

Parameters:
value Boolean switch: TRUE turns tracing on, FALSE off.
Returns:
Prior setting of the diagnostic trace switch in the context.

EXTERNRT int rtxSetGlobalPrintStream (  rtxPrintCallback  myCallback,
void *  pStrmInfo
) 
 

This function is for setting the callback function for a PrintStream.

This version of the function sets a callback at the global level.

Parameters:
myCallback Pointer to a callback print function.
pStrmInfo Pointer to user defined PrintInfo structure where users can store information required by the callback function across calls. Ex. An open File handle for callbak function which directs stream to a file.
Returns:
Completion status, 0 on success, negative value on failure

EXTERNRT int rtxSetPrintStream (  OSCTXT *  pctxt,
rtxPrintCallback  myCallback,
void *  pStrmInfo
) 
 

This function is for setting the callback function for a PrintStream.

Once a callback function is set, then all print and debug output ia sent to the defined callback function.

Parameters:
pctxt Pointer to a context in which callback print function will be set
myCallback Pointer to a callback print function.
pStrmInfo Pointer to user defined PrintInfo structure where users can store information required by the callback function across calls. Ex. An open File handle for callbak function which directs stream to a file.
Returns:
Completion status, 0 on success, negative value on failure
