FUNCTION DEFINITION
Function Definition
The format of a function definition is as follows:
[qualifier] id ( [type-specifier id] ) { [stmt] }
Optional See Below
Zero or more comma
separated.
See Data Types
Zero or more Semi-colon
separated. See
Statements.
The qualifiers for a function are as follows:
VOID
type-specifier
#separate
#inline
#int_..
When one of the above are used and the function has a prototype (forward declaration of the
function before it is defined) you must include the qualifier on both the prototype and function
definition.
A (non-standard) feature has been added to the compiler to help get around the problems
created by the fact that pointers cannot be created to constant strings. A function that has one
CHAR parameter will accept a constant string where it is called. The compiler will generate a
loop that will call the function once for each character in the string.
Example:
void lcd_putc(char c ) {
...
}
lcd_putc ("Hi There.");
