I ran into the below error messages while programming. Is it just me, or do they seem to be contradictory?

[see newer pic]

Is this something I'm doing wrong, or is it a bug?

I'm using the Cortex, and ROBOTC version 2.31.

Thanks!

The inline keyword was available in older versions of robotC. It tells the compiler to make a new copy of the function everywhere it is called. This prevents a function to be called at the same moment from different tasks, this would cause all kind of strange errors. In the current beta versions of robotc this keyword has gone. I don't know why. But the compiler still detects that a function is called from different tasks, it warns you for this situation and advises you to use inline functions to prevent possible problems. As the keyword itself is no longer supported this is a problem with the compiler. I already told the developers of this problem. So it might be solved in the next version of robotC.

In the mean time you can use the hogcpu function to prevent functions to be called twice at the same time. But this function also has a problem. It seems to halt I2C communication, so don't use it when reading digital sensors. I did not report this bug, so if one of the developers is reading this post, take notice!

Another solution is to make copies of the function for each task, ie function1, function2 etc. This is like using the inline keyword.

Thanks for your help

I know that quite a few versions of ROBOTC have come out since this thread was started... any information on when this "bug" will be fixed?

It looks like the picture of the error message is corrupted. The contradictory warning messages should be resolved as of ROBOTC 3.0.

I have version 3.05.

Here's a new picture (just taken).

Thanks for reposting the image. The warning text will be changed in our next release.
