emRun User Guide & Reference Manual

A small, efficient C runtime library.

Introduction

This section presents an overview of emRun, its structure, and its capabilities.

What is emRun?

emRun is an optimized C library for Arm and RISC-V processors.

Features

emRun is written in standard ANSI C and Arm assembly language and can run on any Arm or RISC-V CPU. Here’s a list summarising the main features of emRun:

We recommend keeping emRun separate from your application files. It is good practice to keep all the program files (including the header files) together in the LIB subdirectory of your project’s root directory. This practice has the advantage of being very easy to update to newer versions of emRun by simply replacing the LIB directory. Your application files can be stored anywhere.

Note

When updating to a newer emRun version: as files may have been added, moved or deleted, the project directories may need to be updated accordingly.

Package content

emRun is provided in source code and contains everything needed. The following table shows the content of the emRun Package:

Directory Description
Doc emRun documentation.
Src emRun source code.

Include directories

You should make sure that the system include path contains the following directory:

Note

Always make sure that you have only one version of each file!

It is frequently a major problem when updating to a new version of emRun if you have old files included and therefore mix different versions. If you keep emRun in the directories as suggested (and only in these), this type of problem cannot occur. When updating to a newer version, you should be able to keep your configuration files and leave them unchanged. For safety reasons, we recommend backing up (or at least renaming) the LIB directories before to updating.

Compiling emRun

User-facing source files

The standard C library is exposed to the user by a set of header files that provide an interface to the library. In addition, there must be additional “invisible” functions added to provide C language support, such as software floating point and integer mathematics, that the C compiler calls.

The user-facing interface files are:

File Description
<assert.h> Assertion macros.
<complex.h> Complex number functions.
<ctype.h> Character classification functions.
<errno.h> Access to errno.
<fenv.h> Floating-point environment functions.
<float.h> Parameterization of floating types.
<inttypes.h> Parameterization of formatting of integer types.
<iso646.h> Alternative spelling of C operators.
<limits.h> Minima and maxima of floating and integer types.
<locale.h> Functions for internationalizing software.
<math.h> Mathematical functions.
<setjmp.h> Non-local jumps.
<signal.h> Signals and interrupts.
<stdbool.h> Boolean type and values.

General configuration

All source files should be added to the project and the following preprocessor symbols set correctly to select the particular variant of the library:

The configuration of emRun is defined by the content of __SEGGER_RTL_Conf.h which is included by all C and assembly language source files. The example configuration files that ship with emRun are described in the following sections.

The following preprocessor symbol definitions affect how the library is compiled and the features that are implemented:

Symbol Description

To select the level of printf() and scanf() support, set this preprocessor symbol as follows:

Value Description
0 Support only int, do not support long or long long.
1 Support int and long, do not support long long.
2 Support int, long, and long long.

Floating I/O capability selection

Default

#define __WIDTH_NONE                            0
#define __WIDTH_FLOAT                           1
#define __WIDTH_DOUBLE                          2

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_FLOAT_WIDTH
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_FLOAT_WIDTH       __WIDTH_DOUBLE
#endif

Description

Set this preprocessor symbol to include floating-point support in printf() and scanf() as follows:

Value Description
0 Eliminate all formatted floating point support.
1 Support output of float values, no doubles.
2 Support output of float, double, and long double values.

Wide character I/O support

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_WCHAR
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_WCHAR             1
#endif

Description

Set this preprocessor symbol to include wide character support in printf() and scanf() as follows:

Value Description
0 Eliminate all wide character support.
1 Support formatted input and output of wide characters.

Input character class support selection

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_CHAR_CLASS
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_CHAR_CLASS        1
#endif

Description

Set this preprocessor symbol to include character class support in scanf() as follows:

Value Description
0 Eliminate all character class support.
1 Support formatted input with character classes.

Width and precision specification selection

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_WIDTH_PRECISION
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FORMAT_WIDTH_PRECISION   1
#endif

Description

Set this preprocessor symbol to include width and precision support in printf() and scanf() as follows:

Value Description
0 Eliminate all width and precision support.
1 Support formatted input and output with width and precision.

Standard output stream buffering

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_STDOUT_BUFFER_LEN
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_STDOUT_BUFFER_LEN        64
#endif

Description

Set this preprocessor symbol to set the internal size of the formatting buffer, in characters, used when printing to the standard output stream. By default it is 64.

Registration of exit cleanup functions

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_ATEXIT_COUNT
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_ATEXIT_COUNT             1
#endif

Description

Set this preprocessor symbol to the maximum number of registered atexit() functions to support. The registered functions can be executed when main()) returns by calling __SEGGER_RTL_execute_at_exit_fns(), typically as part of the startup code.

Scaled-integer algorithm selection

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_SCALED_INTEGER
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_SCALED_INTEGER           0
#endif

Description

Define the preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_SCALED_INTEGER to select scaled-intger algorithms over standard floating-point algorithms.

Value Description
0 Algorithms use C-language floating-point arithmetic.
1 IEEE single-precision functions use scaled integer arithmetic if there is a scaled-integer implementation of the function.
+2 IEEE single-precision and double-precision functions use scaled integer arithmetic if there is a scaled-integer implementation of the function.

Note that selecting scaled-integer arithmetic does not reduce the range or accuracy of the function as seen by the user. Scaled-integer arithmetic runs quickly on integer-only processors and delivers results that are correctly rounded in more cases as 31 bits or 63 bits of precision are retained internally whereas using IEEE aritmetic retains only 24 or 53 bits of precision.

Scaled-integer algorithms are faster than standard algorithms using the floating-point emulator, but can be significantly larger depending upon compiler optimization settings.

Optimization prevention

Default

None; this must be specifically configured for compiler and architecture. The defaults for Arm and RISC-V are:

  #if defined(__clang__)
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_NO_BUILTIN
  #elif defined(__GNUC__)
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_NO_BUILTIN \
      __attribute__((optimize("-fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns")))
  #endif

Description

Define the preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_NO_BUILTIN to prevent GCC from applying incorrect optimizations at high optimization levels.

Specifically, at high optimization GCC will:

This definition prevents GCC from identifying a loop copy in the implementation of memcpy() and replacing it with a call to memcpy(), thereby introducing infinite recursion.

GCC has been observed to make the following transformations:

Clang has been observed to make the following transformations:

Unfortunately it is not possible to prevent these optimizations using a per-function optimization attribute. These optimizations may be disabled by using the GCC command-line option -fno-builtins or -ffreestanding, but you are advised to check the subject compiler for adherence.

To prevent the transformation of malloc() followed by memset(), emRun works around this by a volatile store to the allocated memory (if successfully allocated with nonzero size).

To prevent user programs from suffering optimization of sin() and cos() to sincos(), an implementations of POSIX.1 sincos(), sincosf(), and sincosl() are provided. The implementation of the sincos() family does not suffer this misoptimization as emRun does not directly call the sin() and cos() functions.

To prevent user programs from suffering optimization of exp(10, x), implementations of exp10(), exp10f(), and exp10l() are provided. The implementation of the exp10() family does not suffer this misoptimization as emRun does not directly call the exp() functions.

Configuring for Arm

This section provides a walkthrough of the library configuration supplied in __SEGGER_RTL_Arm_Conf.h for Arm processors.

The library is configured for execution on Arm targets by querying the environment. The example configuration assumes that the compiler supports the Arm C Language Extensions (ACLE) standard.

In many cases the library can can be configured automatically. For ARM the default configuration of the library is derived from these preprocessor symbols:

Symbol Description
Compiler identification
__GNUC__ Compiler is GNU C.
__clang__ Compiler is Clang.
Target instruction set
__thumb__ Target the Thumb instruction set (as opposed to ARM).
__thumb2__ Target the Thumb-2 instruction set.
ACLE definitions
__ARM_ARCH Arm target architecture version.
__ARM_ARCH_PROFILE Arm architecture profile, if applicable.
__ARM_ARCH_ISA_ARM Processor implements AArch32 instruction set.
__ARM_ARCH_ISA_THUMB Processor implements Thumb instruction set.
__ARM_BIG_ENDIAN Byte order is big endian.
__ARM_PCS Functions use standard Arm PCS calling convention.
__ARM_PCS_VFP Functions use Arm VFP calling convention.
__ARM_FP Arm floating-point hardware availability.
__ARM_FEATURE_CLZ Indicates existence of CLZ instruction.
__ARM_FEATURE_IDIV Indicates existence of integer division instructions.

Target instruction set

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T16                    0
#define __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T32                    1
#define __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_ARM                    2

#if defined(__thumb__) && !defined(__thumb2__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA               __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T16
#elif defined(__thumb2__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA               __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T32
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA               __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_ARM
#endif

Description

These definitions are used by assembly language files to check the instruction set being compiled for. The preprocessor symbol __thumb__ is defined when compiling for cores that support 16-bit Thumb instructions but not Thumb-2 instructions; the preprocessor symbol __thumb2__ is defined when compiling for cores that support the 32-bit Thumb-2 instructions. If neither of these symbols is defined, the core supports the AArch32 Arm instruction set.

Arm AEABI

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_INCLUDE_AEABI_API        2
#endif

Description

Implementation of the ARM AEABI functions are required by all AEABI-conforming C compilers. This definition can be set to 1, in which case C-coded generic implementations of AEABI functions are compiled into the library; or it can be set to 2, in which case assembly-coded implementations are compiled into the library and is the preferred option.

Processor byte order

Default

#if defined(__ARM_BIG_ENDIAN) && (__ARM_BIG_ENDIAN == 1)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_BYTE_ORDER               (+1)
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_BYTE_ORDER               (-1)
#endif

Description

The ACLE symbol __ARM_BIG_ENDIAN is queried to determine whether the target core runs in litte-endian or big-endian mode and configures the library for that byte ordering.

Maximal data type alignment

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_MAX_ALIGN                  8

Description

This sets the maximal type alignment required for any type. For 64-bit double data loaded by LDRD or VLDR, it is best to align data on 64-bit boundaries.

ABI type set

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_TYPESET                    32

Description

All Arm targets use a 32-bit ILP32 ABI, and this is not configurable otherwise for the library.

Static branch probability

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_UNLIKELY(X)              __builtin_expect((X), 0)
#endif

Description

The preprocessor macro __SEGGER_RTL_UNLIKELY is configured to indicate that the expression X is unlikely to occur. This enables the compiler to use this information to configure the condition of branch instructions to place exceptional code off the hot trace and not incur branch penalties for the likely execution path.

This definition is specific to the GNU and Clang compilers; configure this to whatever your compiler supports or, if not supported at all, leave __SEGGER_RTL_UNLIKELY undefined.

Thread-local storage

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD                   __thread
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD can be defined to the storage class specifier for thread-local data, if your compiler supports thread-local storage. For Arm processors, thread-local storage is accessed using the __aeabi_read_tp function which is dependent upon the target operating system and whether an operating system is present.

The library has a number of file-scope and external variables that benefit from thread-local storage, such as the implementation of errno.

If your compiler does not support thread-local storage class specifiers or your target does not run an operating system, leave __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD undefined.

Function inlining control

Default

#if (defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__))
  #ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE
    #if defined(__clang__)
      #define __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE   __attribute__((__noinline__))
    #else
      #define __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE   __attribute__((__noinline__, __noclone__))
    #endif
  #endif
  //
  #ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE    __inline__ __attribute__((__always_inline__))
  #endif
  //
  #ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE   __inline__
  #endif
  //
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbols __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE, __SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE, and __SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE are configured indicate to the compiler the benefit of inlining.

__SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE should be configured to disable inlining of a function in all cases.

__SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE should be configured to encourage inlining of a function in all cases.

__SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE should be configured to indicate that a function benefits from inlining but it is not essential to inline this function. Typically this is used to inline a function when compiling to maximize execution speed and not inline a function when compiling to minimize code size.

The above definitions work for the GNU and clang compilers when targeting Arm. If your compiler is different, configure thsse symbols to suit.

Public API indication

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_PUBLIC_API               __attribute__((__weak__)) 
#endif

Description

Every function in the library that forms part of the API is labeled using __SEGGER_RTL_PUBLIC_API. For GCC and Clang compilers, all API entry points are defined as weak ELF symbols. You can customize this for your particular compiler or, if compiling the library as part of your project, you can leave this undefined in order to have strong definitions of each library symbol.

Floating-point ABI

Default

#if defined(__ARM_PCS_VFP) && (__ARM_PCS_VFP == 1)
  //
  // PCS uses hardware registers for passing parameters.  For VFP
  // with only single-precision operations, parameters are still
  // passed in floating registers.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   2
  //
#elif defined(__ARM_PCS) && (__ARM_PCS == 1)
  //
  // PCS is standard integer PCS.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   0
  //
#else
  #error Unable to determine floating-point ABI used
#endif

Description

Configuration of the floating-point ABI in use is determined from the ACLE symbols __ARM_PCS_VFP and __ARM_PCS.

__SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI must be set to 0 if float and double parameters are passed using integer registes, to 1 if float parameters are passed using floating registers and double parameters are passed using integer registers, and to 2 if both float and double parameters are passed using floating registers.

The ACLE symbol __ARM_PCS_VFP being set to 1 indicates that floating-point arguments are passed using floating-point registers; the ACLE symbol __ARM_PCS being set to 1 indicates that floating-point arguments are passed in integer registers. From these definitions, __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI is set appropriately.

Note that for cores that have only single-precision (32-bit) floating-point, double precision (64-bit) arguments are passed in two single-precision floating-point registers and not in integer registers.

Floating-point hardware

Default

#if defined(__ARM_FP) && (__ARM_FP & 0x08)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    2
#elif defined(__ARM_FP) && (__ARM_FP & 0x04)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    0
#endif

// Clang gets __ARM_FP wrong for the T16 target ISA indicating
// that floating-point instructions exist in this ISA -- which
// they don't.  Patch that definition up here.
#if __ARM_ARCH_ISA_THUMB == 1
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    0
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   0
#endif

Description

Floating-point hardware support is configured separately from the floating-point calling convention. Even if floating-point parameters are passed in integer registers, it is still possible that floating-point instructions operate on those parameters in the called function.

The ACLE symbol __ARM_FP is queried to determine the target core’s floating-point ability and set __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW appropriately.

__SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW is set to 0 to indicate that no floating-point hardware exists, to 1 to indicate that hardware exists to support float arithmetic, and to 2 to to indicate that hardware exists to support double arithmetic.

Unfortunately, a fix-up is required for Clang when tageting the 16-bit Thumb instruction set.

Half-precision floating-point type

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_FLOAT16                    _Float16

Description

The GNU and clang compilers support 16-bit floating-point data in IEEE format. This configures the emRun type that implements 16-bit floating-point. Some compilers use __fp16 as type name, but _Float16 is the standard C name for such a type.

Multiply-subtract instruction availability

Default

#if (__ARM_ARCH >= 6) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA != __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T16)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MLS             1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MLS             0
#endif

Description

Assembly-language source files use the preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MLS to conditionally assemble MLS instructions. The ACLE symbol __ARM_ARCH is queried to determine whether the target architecture offers a MLS instruction and then __SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA is checked to ensure that it is offered in the selected instruction set.

Long multiply instruction availability

Default

#if __SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA == __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T16
  //
  // T16 ISA has no extended multiplication at all.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_EXT_MUL         0
  //
#elif __ARM_ARCH >= 6
  //
  // ARMv6 and above have no restrictions on their input
  // and output registers, so assembly-level inserts with
  // constraints to guide the compiler are acceptable.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_EXT_MUL         1
  //
#elif (__ARM_ARCH == 5) && defined(__clang__)
  //
  // Take Arm at its word and disable restrictions on input
  // and output registers.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_EXT_MUL         1
  //
#else 
  //
  // ARMv5TE and lower have restrictions on their input
  // and output registers, therefore do not enable extended
  // multiply inserts.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_EXT_MUL         0
  //
#endif

Description

Assembly-language source files use the preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_EXT_MUL to conditionally compile and assemble long-multiply instructions. This symbol must be set to 1 to indicate that long multiply instructions are supported in the target instruction set, and to zero otherwise.

In the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, DDI 01001, Arm states the following for the SMULL and UMULL instructions:

Note

“Specifying the same register for either RdHi and Rm, or RdLo and Rm, was previously described as producing UNPREDICTABLE results. There is no restriction in ARMv6, and it is believed all relevant ARMv4 and ARMv5 implementations do not require this restriction either, because high performance multipliers read all their operands prior to writing back any results.”

Unfortunately, the GNU assembler enforces this restriction which means that assembly-level long-multiply inserts will not work for ARMv4 and ARMv5 even though there is no indication that they fail in practice. For the clang compiler, no such restriction is enforced.

The default configuration is deliberately conservative; you may configure this differently for your specific compiler, assembler, and target processor.

Count-leading-zeros instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__ARM_FEATURE_CLZ) && (__ARM_FEATURE_CLZ == 1)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ             1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ             0
#endif

#if __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ
  //
  // For ACLE-conforming C compilers that declare the architecture or
  // profile has a CLZ instruction, use that CLZ instruction.
  //
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CLZ_U32(X)               __builtin_clz(X)
#endif

// Clang gets __ARM_FEATURE_CLZ wrong for v8M.Baseline, indicating
// that CLZ is available in this ISA  -- which it isn't.  Patch that
// definition up here.
#if (__ARM_ARCH == 8) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA == __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T16)
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ             0
#endif

// GCC gets __ARM_FEATURE_CLZ wrong for v5TE compiling for Thumb,
// indicating that CLZ is available in this ISA -- which it isn't.
// Patch that definition up here.
#if (__ARM_ARCH == 5) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA == __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T16)
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ             0
#endif

Description

The library benefits from the availability of a count-leading-zero instruction. The ACLE symbol __ARM_FEATURE_CLZ is set to 1 to indicate that the target architecture provides a CLZ instruction. This definition works for ACLE-conforming compilers.

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CLZ_U32 is defined to expand to a way to use the CLZ instruction when the core is known to have one.

Unfortunately, although GNU and Clang compilers conform to the ACLE, they disagree on the availability of the CLZ instruction and provide an incorrect definition of __ARM_FEATURE_CLZ for some architectures. Therefore the fixups above are applied for these known cases.

SIMD media instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__ARM_ARCH) && (__ARM_ARCH >= 6) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA != __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T32)

#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MEDIA           0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MEDIA must be set to 1 if the target instruction set has the DSP media instructions, and 0 otherwise.

The library uses the media instructions to accelerate string processing functions such as strlen() and strcmp().

Bit-reverse instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__ARM_ARCH) && (__ARM_ARCH >= 7)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_REV             1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_REV             0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_REV must be set to 1 if the target instruction set offers the REV instruction, and 0 otherwise.

And/subtract-word instruction availability

Default

#if (__ARM_ARCH >= 7) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA == __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T32)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ADDW_SUBW       1   // ARMv8A/R only has ADDW in Thumb mode
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ADDW_SUBW       0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ADDW_SUBW must be set to 1 if the target instruction set offers the ADDW and SUBW instructions, and 0 otherwise.

Move-word instruction availability

#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MOVW_MOVT must be set to 1 if the target instruction set offers the MOVW and MOVT instructions, and 0 otherwise.

Integer-divide instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__ARM_FEATURE_IDIV) && __ARM_FEATURE_IDIV
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_IDIV            1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_IDIV            0
#endif

// Unfortunately the ACLE specifies "__ARM_FEATURE_IDIV is defined to 1 if the target
// has hardware support for 32-bit integer division in all available instruction sets."
// For v7R, there is typically no divide in the Arm instruction set but there is
// support for divide in the Thumb instruction set, so provide an exception here
// when targeting v7R in Thumb mode.
#if (__ARM_ARCH_PROFILE == 'R') && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA == __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T32)
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_IDIV
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_IDIV            1
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_IDIV must be set to 1 if the target instruction set offers integer divide instructions, and 0 otherwise. Note the ACLE inquiry above, if not adjusted for the specific v7R instruction set, leads to suboptimal code.

Zero-branch instruction availability

Default

#if (__ARM_ARCH >= 7) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA != __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_ARM)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CBZ_CBNZ        1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CBZ_CBNZ        0
#endif

Description

#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_TBB_TBH must be set to 1 if the target architecture offers TBB and TBH instructions, and to 0 otherwise.

Sign/zero-extension instruction availability

Default

  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_UXT_SXT         1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_UXT_SXT         0
#endif

Description

  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BFC_BFI_BFX     1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BFC_BFI_BFX     0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BFC_BFI_BFX must be set to 1 if the target architecture offers BFC, BFI, and BFX instructions, and to 0 otherwise.

#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BLX_REG         0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BLX_REG must be set to 1 if the target architecture offers BLX using a register, and to 0 otherwise.

Long shift-count availability

Default

#if (__ARM_ARCH >= 6) && (__SEGGER_RTL_TARGET_ISA == __SEGGER_RTL_ISA_T32)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_LONG_SHIFT      1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_LONG_SHIFT      0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_LONG_SHIFT must be set to 1 if the target architecture offers correct shifting of registers when the bitcount is greater than 32.

Configuring for RISC-V

This section provides a walkthrough of the library configuration supplied in __SEGGER_RTL_RISCV_Conf.h for RV32 processors.

The library is configured for execution on RISC-V targets by querying the environment. The example configuration assumes that the compiler supports the preprocessor symbols definied for the RISC-V architecture as follows:

Symbol Description
__riscv Target is RISC-V.
__riscv_abi_rve Target RV32E base instruction set.
__riscv_compressed Target has C extension.
__riscv_float_abi_soft Target has neither F nor D extension.
__riscv_float_abi_single Target has F extension.
__riscv_float_abi_double Target has D and F extensions.
__riscv_mul Target has M extension.
__riscv_muldiv Target has M extension with divide support.
__riscv_div Target has M extension with divide support.
__riscv_dsp Target has P (packed SIMD) extension.
__riscv_zba Target has Zba (shift-add) extension.
__riscv_zbb Target has Zbb (CLZ, negated logic) extension.
__riscv_zbs Target has Zbs (bt manipulation) extension.
__riscv_xlen Register width.
__riscv_flen Floating-point register width.
__nds_v5 Andes Performance Extension support.

Base instruction set architecture

Default

#if defined(__riscv_abi_rve)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_RVE                1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_RVE                0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_RVE must be set to 1 if the base instruction set is RV32E and to 0 if the base instruction set is RV32I.

GNU libgcc API

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #if __riscv_xlen == 32
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_INCLUDE_GNU_API  2
  #else
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_INCLUDE_GNU_API  1
  #endif
#endif

Description

The GNU and clang compilers both use the standard GNU libgcc API for runtime services. The following settings to select the GNU libgcc API are supported:

Setting Description
0 GNU libgcc API is eliminated.
1 GNU libgcc API uses all C-coded functions.
2 GNU libgcc API uses a combination of C-coded functions and assembly language acceleration functions.

Note: Assembly-language acceleration is only supported for RV32E and RV32I architectures.

GNU libgcc 16-bit float API

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_INCLUDE_GNU_FP16_API       1

Description

The GNU and clang compilers support 16-bit floating-point data in IEEE format. This configures emRun support for GCC on RISC-V.

The following settings to select the GNU libgcc API are supported:

Setting Description
0 GNU libgcc 16-bit float API is eliminated.
1 GNU libgcc 16-bit float API is present.

Note that __SEGGER_RTL_FLOAT16 must also be configured if runtime support for 16-bit floating-point types is configured.

Half-precision floating-point type

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_FLOAT16                    _Float16

Description

The GNU and clang compilers support 16-bit floating-point data in IEEE format. This configures the emRun type that implements 16-bit floating-point. Some compilers use __fp16 as type name, but _Float16 is the standard C name for such a type.

ABI type set

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_TYPESET                    32

Description

All RV32 targets use a 32-bit ILP32 ABI, and this is not configurable otherwise for the library.

Processor byte order

Default

#define __SEGGER_RTL_BYTE_ORDER                 (-1)

Description

Only little-endian RISC-V processors are supported at this time, and this preprocessor symbol cannot be configured any other way.

Minimum stack alignment

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_STACK_ALIGN   
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_STACK_ALIGN              16
#endif

Description

The compiler provides correct stack alignment for the RISC-V ABI selected for compilation. However, assembly language files must also know the intended stack alignment of the system and ensure that alignment constraints are respected.

At the time of writing, there is an ongoing discussion in the RISC-V community as to the minimum stack alignment for RV32I and RV32E ABIs. As such, this definition is conservative and works for both RV32I and RV32E.

Static branch probability

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_UNLIKELY(X)              __builtin_expect((X), 0)
#endif

Description

The preprocessor macro __SEGGER_RTL_UNLIKELY is configured to indicate that the expression X is unlikely to occur. This enables the compiler to use this information to configure the condition of branch instructions to place exceptional code off the hot trace and not incur branch penalties for the likely execution path.

This definition is specific to the GNU and Clang compilers; configure this to whatever your compiler supports or, if not supported at all, leave __SEGGER_RTL_UNLIKELY undefined.

Thread-local storage

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD                   __thread
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD can be defined to the storage class specifier for thread-local data, if your compiler supports thread-local storage. There is no standard embedded ABI for RISC-V processors, but for now thread-local storage is accessed using the tp register and is upon the target operating system and whether an operating system is present.

The library has a number of file-scope and external variables that benefit from thread-local storage, such as the implementation of errno.

If your compiler does not support thread-local storage class specifiers or your target does not run an operating system, leave __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD undefined.

Function inlining control

Default

#if (defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)) && (__SEGGER_RTL_CONFIG_CODE_COVERAGE == 0)
  #ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE
    #if defined(__clang__)
      #define __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE    __attribute__((__noinline__))
    #else
      #define __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE    __attribute__((__noinline__, __noclone__))
    #endif
  #endif
  //
  #ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE     __inline__ __attribute__((__always_inline__))
  #endif
  //
  #ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE
    #define __SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE    __inline__
  #endif
  //
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbols __SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE, __SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE, and __SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE are configured indicate to the compiler the benefit of inlining.

__SEGGER_RTL_NEVER_INLINE should be configured to disable inlining of a function in all cases.

__SEGGER_RTL_ALWAYS_INLINE should be configured to encourage inlining of a function in all cases.

__SEGGER_RTL_REQUEST_INLINE should be configured to indicate that a function benefits from inlining but it is not essential to inline this function. Typically this is used to inline a function when compiling to maximize execution speed and not inline a function when compiling to minimize code size.

The above definitions work for the GNU and clang compilers when targeting Arm. If your compiler is different, configure thsse symbols to suit.

Public API indication

Default

#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_PUBLIC_API               __attribute__((__weak__)) 
#endif

Description

Every function in the library that forms part of the API is labeled using __SEGGER_RTL_PUBLIC_API. For GCC and Clang compilers, all API entry points are defined as weak ELF symbols. You can customize this for your particular compiler or, if compiling the library as part of your project, you can leave this undefined in order to have strong definitions of each library symbol.

Floating-point ABI

Default

#if defined(__riscv_float_abi_soft)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   0
#elif defined(__riscv_float_abi_single)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   1
#elif defined(__riscv_float_abi_double)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   2
#else
  #error Cannot determine RISC-V floating-point ABI
#endif

Description

Configuration of the floating-point ABI in use is determined from the compiler-provided symbols __riscv_float_abi_soft, __riscv_float_abi_single, and __riscv_float_abi_double.

__SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI must be set to 0 if float and double parameters are passed using integer registes, to 1 if float parameters are passed using floating registers and double parameters are passed using integer registers, and to 2 if both float and double parameters are passed using floating registers.

Floating-point hardware

Default

#if defined(__riscv_flen) && (__riscv_flen == 64)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    2
#elif defined(__riscv_flen) && (__riscv_flen == 32)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    0
#endif

Description

Floating-point hardware support is configured separately from the floating-point calling convention. Even if floating-point parameters are passed in integer registers, it is still possible that floating-point instructions operate on those parameters in the called function.

The ACLE symbol __ARM_FP is queried to determine the target core’s floating-point ability and set __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW appropriately.

__SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW is set to 0 to indicate that no floating-point hardware exists, to 1 to indicate that hardware exists to support float arithmetic, and to 2 to to indicate that hardware exists to support double arithmetic.

Unfortunately, a fix-up is required:

// Clang gets __ARM_FP wrong for the T16 target ISA indicating
// that floating-point instructions exist in this ISA -- which
// they don't.  Patch that definition up here.
#if __ARM_ARCH_ISA_THUMB == 1
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_HW                    0
  #undef  __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_FP_ABI                   0
#endif

SIMD instruction set extension availability

Default

#if defined(__riscv_dsp)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_SIMD               1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_SIMD               0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_SIMD must be set to 1 if the RISC-V P (packed SIMD) instruction set extension is present, and 0 otherwise.

The assembly-language integer and floating-point implementations benefit significantly in terms of reduced code size and increased execution speed with this instruction set extension.

Andes Performance Extension availability

Default

#if defined(__nds_v5)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_ANDES_V5           1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ISA_ANDES_V5           0
#endif

Description

  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MUL_MULH               1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MUL_MULH               0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_MUL_MULH must be set to 1 if the MUL and MULH instructions are present, and 0 otherwise.

The assembly-language integer and floating-point implementations benefit in terms of reduced code size and increased execution speed with the presence of these instructions.

Divide instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__riscv_div)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_DIV                    1
#else

#endif

Description

#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ must be set to 1 if the CLZ instruction from the RISC-V bit-manipulation extension is present, and 0 otherwise.

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ32 must be set to 1 if the SIMD CLZ32 instruction is present, and 0 otherwise.

The assembly-language integer and floating-point implementations benefit in terms of reduced code size and increased execution speed with the presence of these instructions.

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CLZ_U32 is defined to expand to a way to use the CLZ instruction when the core is known to have one:

#if __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ || __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_CLZ32
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CLZ_U32(X)        __builtin_clz(X)
#endif

Negated-logic instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__riscv_zbb)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ANDN_ORN_XORN          1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_ANDN_ORN_XORN          0
#endif

The assembly-language integer and floating-point implementations benefit in terms of reduced code size and increased execution speed with the presence of these instructions.

Bitfield instruction availability

Default

#if defined(__riscv_zbs)
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BSET_BCLR_BINV_BEXT    1
#else
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BSET_BCLR_BINV_BEXT    0
#endif

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_BSET_BCLR_BINV_BEXT must be set to 1 if the BSET, BCLR, BINV, and BEXT instructions from the RISC-V bit-manipulation extension are present, and 0 otherwise.

#endif

Description

The assembly-language integer and floating-point implementations benefit in terms of reduced code size and increased execution speed with the presence of these instructions.

Divide-remainder macro-op fusion availability

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_FUSED_DIVREM
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_FUSED_DIVREM           0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_CORE_HAS_FUSED_DIVREM can be set to 1 if the target supports macro-op fusion of DIV and REM instructions, and 0 otherwise.

As of the time of writing, SEGGER have not seen a core with macro-op fusion of division with remainder and define this to zero unconditionally.

Branch-free code preference

Default

#ifndef   __SEGGER_RTL_PREFER_BRANCH_FREE_CODE
  #define __SEGGER_RTL_PREFER_BRANCH_FREE_CODE         0
#endif

Description

The preprocessor symbol __SEGGER_RTL_PREFER_BRANCH_FREE_CODE must be set to 1 to select branch-free code sequences in preference to branching code sequences.

Whether a target benefits from branch-free code depends upon branch penalties for mispredicted branches and how often these occur in practice. By default this is set to zero, assuming that the branch predictor is more often correct than incorrect, and also reducing overall code size.

For high-performance cores, it may be advantageous to compile using branch-free code.

Runtime support

This section describes how to set up the execution environment for the C library.

Getting to main() and then exit()

Before entering main() the execution environment must be set up such that the C standard library will function correctly.

This section does not describe the compiler or linker support for placing code and data into memory, how to configure any RAM, or how to zero memory required for zero-initialized data. For this, please refer to your toolset compiler and linker documentation.

Nor does this section document how to call constructors and destructors in the correct order. Again, refer to your toolset manuals.

At-exit function support

After returning from main() or by calling exit(), any registered atexit functions must be called to close down. To do this, call __SEGGER_RTL_execute_at_exit_fns() from the runtime startup immdiately after the call to main().

Locale name buffer

For ANSI-correct correct functioning setlocale(), __SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer() must be used. If __SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer() is not used to set a name buffer, setlocale() will still set the locale but will return NULL rather than the previous locale.

Please refer to setlocale for further information.

Dynamic storage and the heap

emRun provides three heap implementations which you may choose from:

Multithreaded protection for the heap

Heap functions (allocation, reallocation, deallocation) can be protected from reentrancy in a multithreaded environment by implementing lock and unlock functions. By default, these functions do nothing and memory allocation functions are not protected.

See __SEGGER_RTL_X_heap_lock and __SEGGER_RTL_X_heap_unlock.

Setting up the heap

Whichever heap implementation is chosen, the dynamic memory managed by the heap must be initialized by calling __SEGGER_RTL_init_heap() passing the base address of the managed area and its size in bytes.

This initialization is typically carried out as part of system startup, before any constructors are called.

Input and output

The way characters and strings are printed and scanned can be configured in multiple ways. This section describes how a generic implementation works, how to optimize input and output for other technologies such as SEGGER RTT and SEGGER semihosting, and how to optimized for UART-style I/O.

Standard input and output

Standard input and output are performed using the low-level functions __SEGGER_RTL_X_file_read() and __SEGGER_RTL_X_file_write(), These functions are defined in the file __SEGGER_RTL.h as follows:

int __SEGGER_RTL_X_file_read  (__SEGGER_RTL_FILE *stream, char *s, unsigned len);
int __SEGGER_RTL_X_file_write (__SEGGER_RTL_FILE *stream, const char *s, unsigned len);

The type __SEGGER_RTL_FILE and its corresponding standard C version FILE are defined opaqely by __SEGGER_RTL.h as:

typedef struct __SEGGER_RTL_FILE_IMPL __SEGGER_RTL_FILE;
typedef struct __SEGGER_RTL_FILE_IMPL FILE;

This leaves the exact structure of a FILE and the implementation of file I/O to the library integrator. The following are sample implementations for SEGGER RTT, SEGGER Semihosting, and a version that supports only output to a UART.

Thread safety

Functions in emRun are written with varying levels of thread-safe operation. Some functions are inherently re-entrant and thread-safe, some are thread-safe if configured to be so, and some are never thread-safe.

The following section desfribe the various ways that the execution environment for a C or C++ program can be configured.

No threading

In this case there are no separate threads of execution save for interrupt and exception handlers. In this case, emRun will not be required to support thread-local storage and the __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD macro can be defined to be empty and the heap-lock and heap-unlock functions can be empty.

It is the user’s responsibility to ensure there is no conflict in the use of shared data between mainline code and interrupt-handling code.

In this scenario, all functions are inherently thread-safe as there is no threading.

Threading with no RTOS thread-local support

In this case there are separate threads of execution but only a single instance of emRun private data. As such, any function that manipulates emRun private data, directly or indirectly, is thread-unsafe.

Although emRun can be configured this way, it is highly likely that cross-contamination of emRun private data will occur. For instance, errno will be shared between all threads and code such as the following is prone to failure:

errno = 0;
d = strtod(sInput, NULL);
if (errno != 0) { ... }

At first glance, the above code looks entirely reasonable. However, in this configuration a thread could be scheduled between setting and reading errno, potentially corrupting the value of errno for the original thread. Such errors are very hard to track down.

In this configuration, there can be no guarantee made regarding thread-safety of emRun and the “Thread safety” section in each function desciption must be ignored.

Threading with RTOS thread-local support

In this case there are separate threads of execution with each thread receiving its own copy of emRun private data. As such, any function that manipulates private data, directly or indirectly, is thread-safe.

In contrast to the previous configuration, each thread receives its own private copy of errno and cross-contamination of emRun runtime data will not occur inside emRun functions.

Functions that are re-entrant and thread-safe

Functions that only take scalar data (chars, integers, reals) and do not read global state are both re-entrant and thread-safe. For instance, sin() is thread-safe as the floating-point environment is per-thread and sin() does not use any global state variables.

Other functions, such as strcat(), are re-entrant and thread-safe only if the objects they operate on are not shared between threads. For instance, it is not possible for two or more threads to use strcat() to concatenate data into a single array shared between the two threads, such as appending to some in-memory error or trace log.

Functions that are thread-safe if configured

Per-thread global data in emRun is declared using the __SEGGER_RTL_THREAD macro; see Thread-local storage.

errno

The errno macro is thread-safe if both emRun and the underlying RTOS is configured to support thread-local data.

If you have not configured per-thread storage or the RTOS does not support thread-local storage, there will be a single instance of emRun private data shared between all threads and therefore any function mentioned above, or any function that potentially sets errno, directly or indirectly, will write a single instance of it and will not be thread-safe.

String and multi-byte functions

The following functions are thread-safe if both emRun and the underlying RTOS is configured to support thread-local data.

If you have not configured per-thread storage or the RTOS does not support thread-local storage, there will be a single instance of emRun private data shared between all threads and therefore any function mentioned above, or any function that potentially sets uses these directly or indirectly, will write a single instance of emRun private data and will not be thread-safe.

Note that it is well understood that functions maintaining global state are undesirable from a program design and multi-threading perspective. This has been recognized by industry standards bodies, such as The Open Group, and this has led to the introduction of “restartable” functions in, for instance, the POSIX.1 standard. emRun implements restartable functions that appear in POSIX.1, such as strtok_r().

Restartable functions are preferable to multi-threading-enabled versions of the standard functions because they do not introduce a per-thread overhead (where threads that do not use e.g. strtok() still pay to have thread-local state reserved for it) and also because access to thread-local data is more expensive than accessing data provided as an additional parameter to the function.

Locale-aware functions

All functions that use or set a locale are thread-safe if both emRun and the underlying RTOS is configured to support thread-local data. This includes all character type and conversion functions, multibyte functions, and locale maipulation funtions.

Heap functions

Heap functions are thread-safe if and only if the heap-lock and heap-unlock functions __SEGGER_RTL_X_heap_lock() and __SEGGER_RTL_X_heap_unlock() are present and prevent simultaneous use of the shared heap. These two functions ensure that the heap is in use by a single execution context only. If these functions are not provided, the heap is unprotected and is not thread-safe.

Functions that are never thread-safe

All I/O functions that work on streams are never thread safe. A design goal of the C library is to be efficient and, as such, it is not possible to share files and streams between threads. Should this be required, the user is responsible for using an appropriate locking mechanism outside of emRun to ensure no stream is simultaneously in use by two or more threads.

Atomic datatype support

Athrough compilers will lay down instructions for data declared _Atomic, some C-level operations will not be able to be achieved atomically.

To support this, emRun provides support for both GCC-defined and Clang-defined atomic support functions which are implemented in terms of three C functions that the user must provide:

C library API

This section describes the C library ABI.

Conformance section

Where a conformance section is present, it defined the conformance of the function to a particular standards.

The non-C standards are:

Thread-safety sections

Where applicable, thread-safety relating to a multi-threaded system is described using the following:

<assert.h>

Assertion functions

Function Description
assert Place assertion.
assert

Description

Place assertion.

Definition

#define assert(e)    ...

Additional information

If NDEBUG is defined as a macro name at the point in the source file where <assert.h> is included, the assert() macro is defined as:

#define assert(ignore) ((void)0)

If NDEBUG is not defined as a macro name at the point in the source file where <assert.h> is included, the assert() macro expands to a void expression that calls __SEGGER_RTL_X_assert().

When such an assert is executed and e is false, assert() calls the function __SEGGER_RTL_X_assert() with information about the particular call that failed: the text of the argument, the name of the source file, and the source line number. These are the stringized expression and the values of the preprocessing macros __FILE__ and __LINE__.

Notes

The assert() macro is redefined according to the current state of NDEBUG each time that <assert.h> is included.

<complex.h>

emRun provides complex math library functions, including all of those required by ISO C99. These functions are implemented to balance performance with correctness. Because producing the correctly rounded result may be prohibitively expensive, these functions are designed to efficiently produce a close approximation to the correctly rounded result. In most cases, the result produced is within +/-1 ulp of the correctly rounded result, though there may be cases where there is greater inaccuracy.

Function Description
setlocale() Set locale.
localeconv() Get current locale data.
setlocale()

Description

Set locale.

Prototype

char *setlocale(      int    category,
                const char * loc);

Parameters

Parameter Description
category Category of locale to set, see below.
loc Pointer to name of locale to set or, if NULL, the current locale.

Return value

Returns the name of the current locale if a locale name buffer has been set using __SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer(), else returns NULL.

Additional information

For ISO-correct operation, a local name buffer needs to be set using __SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer() when the name of the current or global locale can be encoded. In many cases the previous locale’s name is not required, yet would take static storage on a global or per-thread basis. In order to avoid this, the standard operation of setlocale() in this library is to return NULL and not require any static data. If the previous locale’s name is required, at runtime startup or before calling setlocale(), use __SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer() to set the address of the object to use where the locale name can be encoded. To make this thread-safe, the object where the locale name is stored must be local to the thread.

The category parameter can have the following values:

Value Description
LC_ALL Entire locale.
LC_COLLATE Affects strcoll() and strxfrm().
LC_CTYPE Affects character handling.
LC_MONETARY Affects monetary formatting information.
LC_NUMERIC Affects decimal-point character in I/O and string formatting operations.
LC_TIME Affects strftime().

Thread safety

Safe [if configured].

Description

Get current locale data.

Prototype

Return value

Returns a pointer to a structure of type lconv with the corresponding values for the current locale filled in.

<setjmp.h>

Function Description
setjmp() Save calling environment for non-local jump.
longjmp() Restores the saved environment.

Non-local flow control

setjmp()

Description

Save calling environment for non-local jump.

Prototype

int setjmp(jmp_buf buf);

Parameters

Parameter Description
buf Buffer to save context into.

Return value

On return from a direct invocation, returns the value zero. On return from a call to the longjmp() function, returns a nonzero value determined by the call to longjmp().

Additional information

Saves its calling environment in env for later use by the longjmp() function.

The environment saved by a call to setjmp () consists of information sufficient for a call to the longjmp() function to return execution to the correct block and invocation of that block, were it called recursively.

Thread safety

Safe.

longjmp()

Description

Restores the saved environment.

Prototype

void longjmp(jmp_buf buf,
             int     val);

Parameters

Parameter Description
buf Buffer to restore context from.
val Value to return to setjmp() call.

Additional information

Restores the environment saved by setjmp() in the corresponding env argument. If there has been no such invocation, or if the function containing the invocation of setjmp() has terminated execution in the interim, the behavior of longjmp() is undefined.

After longjmp() is completed, program execution continues as if the corresponding invocation of setjmp() had just returned the value specified by val.

Objects of automatic storage allocation that are local to the function containing the invocation of the corresponding setjmp() that do not have volatile-qualified type and have been changed between the setjmp() invocation and longjmp() call are indeterminate.

Notes

longjmp() cannot cause setjmp() to return the value 0; if val is 0, setjmp() returns the value 1.

Thread safety

Safe.

Formatted output control strings

The functions in this section that accept a formatted output control string do so according to the specification that follows.

Composition

The format is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary characters (not %, which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent arguments, converting them, if applicable, according to the corresponding conversion specifier, and then writing the result to the output stream.

Each conversion specification is introduced by the character %. After the % the following appear in sequence:

As noted above, a field width, or precision, or both, may be indicated by an asterisk. In this case, an int argument supplies the field width or precision. The arguments specifying field width, or precision, or both, must appear (in that order) before the argument (if any) to be converted. A negative field width argument is taken as a - flag followed by a positive field width. A negative precision argument is taken as if the precision were omitted.

Flag characters

The flag characters and their meanings are:

Flag Description
- The result of the conversion is left-justified within the field. The default, if this flag is not specified, is that the result of the conversion is left-justified within the field.
+ The result of a signed conversion always begins with a plus or minus sign. The default, if this flag is not specified, is that it begins with a sign only when a negative value is converted.
space If the first character of a signed conversion is not a sign, or if a signed conversion results in no characters, a space is prefixed to the result. If the space and + flags both appear, the space flag is ignored.
# The result is converted to an alternative form. For o conversion, it increases the precision, if and only if necessary, to force the first digit of the result to be a zero (if the value and precision are both zero, a single 0 is printed). For x or X conversion, a nonzero result has 0x or 0X prefixed to it. For e, E, f, F, g, and G conversions, the result of converting a floating-point number always contains a decimal-point character, even if no digits follow it. (Normally, a decimal-point character appears in the result of these conversions only if a digit follows it.) For g and F conversions, trailing zeros are not removed from the result. As an extension, when used in p conversion, the results has # prefixed to it. For other conversions, the behavior is undefined.
0 For d, i, o, u, x, X, e, E, f, F, g, and G conversions, leading zeros (following any indication of sign or base) are used to pad to the field width rather than performing space padding, except when converting an infinity or NaN. If the 0 and - flags both appear, the 0 flag is ignored. For d, i, o, u, x, and X conversions, if a precision is specified, the 0 flag is ignored. For other conversions, the behavior is undefined.
Length modifiers

The length modifiers and their meanings are:

Flag Description
hh Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion specifier applies to a signed char or unsigned char argument (the argument will have been promoted according to the integer promotions, but its value will be converted to signed char or unsigned char before printing); or that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a signed char argument.
h Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion specifier applies to a short int or unsigned short int argument (the argument will have been promoted according to the integer promotions, but its value is converted to short int or unsigned short int before printing); or that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a short int argument.
l Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion specifier applies to a long int or unsigned long int argument; that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a long int argument; or has no effect on a following e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier.
ll Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion specifier applies to a long long int or unsigned long long int argument; that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a long long int argument.
L Specifies that a following e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier applies to a long double argument.

If a length modifier appears with any conversion specifier other than as specified above, the behavior is undefined.

Conversion specifiers

The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:

Flag Description
d, i The argument is converted to signed decimal in the style [-]dddd. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to appear; if the value being converted can be represented in fewer digits, it is expanded with leading spaces. The default precision is one. The result of converting a zero value with a precision of zero is no characters.
o, u, x, X The unsigned argument is converted to unsigned octal for o, unsigned decimal for u, or unsigned hexadecimal notation for x or X in the style dddd the letters abcdef are used for x conversion and the letters ABCDEF for X conversion. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to appear; if the value being converted can be represented in fewer digits, it is expanded with leading spaces. The default precision is one. The result of converting a zero value with a precision of zero is no characters.
f, F A double argument representing a floating-point number is converted to decimal notation in the style [-]ddd.ddd, where the number of digits after the decimal-point character is equal to the precision specification. If the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is zero and the # flag is not specified, no decimal-point character appears. If a decimal-point character appears, at least one digit appears before it. The value is rounded to the appropriate number of digits. A double argument representing an infinity is converted to inf. A double argument representing a NaN is converted to nan. The F conversion specifier produces INF or NAN instead of inf or nan, respectively.
e, E A double argument representing a floating-point number is converted in the style [-]d.ddddd, where there is one digit (which is nonzero if the argument is nonzero) before the decimal-point character and the number of digits after it is equal to the precision; if the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is zero and the # flag is not specified, no decimal-point character appears. The value is rounded to the appropriate number of digits. The E conversion specifier produces a number with E instead of e introducing the exponent. The exponent always contains at least two digits, and only as many more digits as necessary to represent the exponent. If the value is zero, the exponent is zero. A double argument representing an infinity is converted to inf. A double argument representing a NaN is converted to nan. The E conversion specifier produces INF or NAN instead of inf or nan, respectively.
g, G A double argument representing a floating-point number is converted in style f or e (or in style F or e in the case of a G conversion specifier), with the precision specifying the number of significant digits. If the precision is zero, it is taken as one. The style used depends on the value converted; style e (or E) is used only if the exponent resulting from such a conversion is less than -4 or greater than or equal to the precision. Trailing zeros are removed from the fractional portion of the result unless the # flag is specified; a decimal-point character appears only if it is followed by a digit. A double argument representing an infinity is converted to inf. A double argument representing a NaN is converted to nan. The G conversion specifier produces INF or NAN instead of inf or nan, respectively.
c The argument is converted to an unsigned char, and the resulting character is written.
s The argument is be a pointer to the initial element of an array of character type. Characters from the array are written up to (but not including) the terminating null character. If the precision is specified, no more than that many characters are written. If the precision is not specified or is greater than the size of the array, the array must contain a null character.
p The argument is a pointer to void. The value of the pointer is converted in the same format as the x conversion specifier with a fixed precision of 2*sizeof(void *).
n The argument is a pointer to a signed integer into which is written the number of characters written to the output stream so far by the call to the formatting function. No argument is converted, but one is consumed. If the conversion specification includes any flags, a field width, or a precision, the behavior is undefined.
% A % character is written. No argument is converted.

Note that the C99 width modifier l used in conjunction with the c and s conversion specifiers is not supported and nor are the conversion specifiers a and A.

Formatted input control strings

The format is composed of zero or more directives: one or more white-space characters, an ordinary character (neither % nor a white-space character), or a conversion specification.

Each conversion specification is introduced by the character %. After the %, the following appear in sequence:

The formatted input function executes each directive of the format in turn. If a directive fails, the function returns. Failures are described as input failures (because of the occurrence of an encoding error or the unavailability of input characters), or matching failures (because of inappropriate input).

A directive composed of white-space character(s) is executed by reading input up to the first non-white-space character (which remains unread), or until no more characters can be read.

A directive that is an ordinary character is executed by reading the next characters of the stream. If any of those characters differ from the ones composing the directive, the directive fails and the differing and subsequent characters remain unread. Similarly, if end-of-file, an encoding error, or a read error prevents a character from being read, the directive fails.

A directive that is a conversion specification defines a set of matching input sequences, as described below for each specifier. A conversion specification is executed in the following steps:

Length modifiers

The length modifiers and their meanings are:

Flag Description
hh Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to signed char or pointer to unsigned char.
h Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to short int or unsigned short int.
l Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to long int or unsigned long int; that a following e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to double.
ll Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, X, or n conversion specifier applies to an argument with type pointer to long long int or unsigned long long int.
L Specifies that a following e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier applies to an argument with with type pointer to long double.

If a length modifier appears with any conversion specifier other than as specified above, the behavior is undefined. Note that the C99 length modifiers j, z, and t are not supported.

Conversion specifiers
Flag Description
d Matches an optionally signed decimal integer, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtol() function with the value 10 for the base argument. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to signed integer.
i Matches an optionally signed integer, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtol() function with the value zero for the base argument. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to signed integer.
o Matches an optionally signed octal integer, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtol() function with the value 18 for the base argument. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to signed integer.
u Matches an optionally signed decimal integer, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtoul() function with the value 10 for the base argument. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to unsigned integer.
x Matches an optionally signed hexadecimal integer, whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtoul() function with the value 16 for the base argument. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to unsigned integer.
e, f, g Matches an optionally signed floating-point number whose format is the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtod() function. The corresponding argument shall be a pointer to floating.
c Matches a sequence of characters of exactly the number specified by the field width (one if no field width is present in the directive). The corresponding argument must be a pointer to the initial element of a character array large enough to accept the sequence. No null character is added.
s Matches a sequence of non-white-space characters The corresponding argument must be a pointer to the initial element of a character array large enough to accept the sequence and a terminating null character, which will be added automatically.
[ Matches a nonempty sequence of characters from a set of expected characters (the scanset). The corresponding argument must be a pointer to the initial element of a character array large enough to accept the sequence and a terminating null character, which will be added automatically. The conversion specifier includes all subsequent characters in the format string, up to and including the matching right bracket ]. The characters between the brackets (the scanlist) compose the scanset, unless the character after the left bracket is a circumflex ^, in which case the scanset contains all characters that do not appear in the scanlist between the circumflex and the right bracket. If the conversion specifier begins with [] or[^], the right bracket character is in the scanlist and the next following right bracket character is the matching right bracket that ends the specification; otherwise the first following right bracket character is the one that ends the specification. If a - character is in the scanlist and is not the first, nor the second where the first character is a ^, nor the last character, it is treated as a member of the scanset.
p Reads a sequence output by the corresponding %p formatted output conversion. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to a pointer to void.
n No input is consumed. The corresponding argument shall be a pointer to signed integer into which is to be written the number of characters read from the input stream so far by this call to the formatted input function. Execution of a %n directive does not increment the assignment count returned at the completion of execution of the fscanf function. No argument is converted, but one is consumed. If the conversion specification includes an assignment-suppressing character or a field width, the behavior is undefined.
% Matches a single % character; no conversion or assignment occurs.

Note that the C99 width modifier l used in conjunction with the c, s, and [ conversion specifiers is not supported and nor are the conversion specifiers a and A.

             const char   * format,
                            ...);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s Pointer to array that receives the formatted output.
n Maximum number of characters to write to the array pointed to by s.
format Pointer to zero-terminated format control string.

Return value

Returns the number of characters that would have been written had n been sufficiently large, not counting the terminating null character, or a negative value if an encoding error occurred. Thus, the null-terminated output has been completely written if and only if the returned value is nonnegative and less than n.

Additional information

Writes to the string pointed to by s under control of the string pointed to by format that specifies how subsequent arguments are converted for output.

If n is zero, nothing is written, and s can be a null pointer. Otherwise, output characters beyond count n-1 are discarded rather than being written to the array, and a null character is written at the end of the characters actually written into the array. A null character is written at the end of the conversion; it is not counted as part of the returned value.

If there are insufficient arguments for the format, the behavior is undefined. If the format is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess arguments are evaluated but are otherwise ignored.

malloc()

Description

Allocate space for single object.

Prototype

void *malloc(size_t sz);

Parameters

Parameter Description
sz Number of characters to allocate for the object.

Return value

Returns a null pointer if the space for the object cannot be allocated from free memory; if space for the object can be allocated, malloc() returns a pointer to the start of the allocated space.

Additional information

Allocates space for an object whose size is specified by sz and whose value is indeterminate.

Thread safety

Safe [if configured].

aligned_alloc()

Description

Allocate space for aligned single object.

Prototype

void *aligned_alloc(size_t align,
                    size_t sz);

Parameters

Parameter Description
align Alignment of object.
sz Number of characters to allocate for the object.

Return value

Returns a null pointer if the space for the object cannot be allocated from free memory or the alignment cannot be satisfied; if space for the object can be allocated, aligned_alloc() returns a pointer to the start of the allocated, aligned space.

Additional information

Allocates space for an object whose size is specified by sz, whose alignment is align, and whose value is indeterminate.

Thread safety

Safe [if configured].

calloc()

Description

Allocate space for multiple objects and zero them.

Prototype

void *calloc(size_t nobj,
             size_t sz);

Parameters

Parameter Description
nobj Number of objects to allocate.
sz Number of characters to allocate per object.

Return value

Returns a null pointer if the space for the object cannot be allocated from free memory; if space for the object can be allocated, calloc() returns a pointer to the start of the allocated space.

realloc()

Description

Resize or allocate memory space.

Prototype

void *realloc(void   * ptr,
              size_t   sz);

Parameters

Parameter Description
ptr Pointer to resize, or NULL to allocate.
sz New size of object.

Return value

Returns a pointer to the new object (which may have the same value as a pointer to the old object), or a null pointer if the new object could not be allocated.

Additional information

Deallocates the old object pointed to by ptr and returns a pointer to a new object that has the size specified by sz. The contents of the new object is identical to that of the old object prior to deallocation, up to the lesser of the new and old sizes. Any bytes in the new object beyond the size of the old object have indeterminate values.

If ptr is a null pointer, realloc() behaves like malloc() for the specified size. If memory for the new object cannot be allocated, the old object is not deallocated and its value is unchanged.

If ptr does not match a pointer earlier returned by calloc(), malloc(), or realloc(), or if the space has been deallocated by a call to free() or realloc(), the behavior is undefined.

Thread safety

Safe [if configured].

free()

Description

Free allocated memory for reuse.

Prototype

void free(void * ptr);

Parameters

Parameter Description
ptr Pointer to object to free.

Additional information

Causes the space pointed to by ptr to be deallocated, that is, made available for further allocation. If ptr is a null pointer, no action occurs.

If ptr does not match a pointer earlier returned by calloc(), malloc(), or realloc(), or if the space has been deallocated by a call to free() or realloc(), the behavior is undefined.

                  char ** endptr,
                  int     base);

Parameters

Parameter Description
nptr Pointer to string to convert from.
endptr If nonnull, a pointer to object that receives the pointer to the first unconverted character.
base Radix to use for conversion, 2 to 36.

Return value

Returns the converted value, if any. If no conversion could be performed, zero is returned. If the correct value is outside the range of representable values, LONG_MIN or LONG_MAX is returned according to the sign of the value, if any, and the value of the macro ERANGE is stored in errno.

Additional information

Converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to a long representation.

First, strtol() decomposes the input string into three parts: an initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space characters, as specified by isspace(), a subject sequence resembling an integer represented in some radix determined by the value of base, and a final string of one or more unrecognized characters, including the terminating null character of the input string. strtol() then attempts to convert the subject sequence to an integer, and return the result.

When converting, no integer suffix (such as U, L, UL, LL, ULL) is allowed.

If the value of base is zero, the expected form of the subject sequence is an optional plus or minus sign followed by an integer constant.

If the value of base is between 2 and 36 (inclusive), the expected form of the subject sequence is an optional plus or minus sign followed by a sequence of letters and digits representing an integer with the radix specified by base. The letters from a (or A) through z (or Z) represent the values 10 through 35; only letters and digits whose ascribed values are less than that of base are permitted.

If the value of base is 16, the characters “0x” or “0X” may optionally precede the sequence of letters and digits, following the optional sign.

The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of the input string, starting with the first non-white-space character, that is of the expected form. The subject sequence contains no characters if the input string is empty or consists entirely of white space, or if the first non-white-space character is other than a sign or a permissible letter or digit.

If the subject sequence has the expected form and the value of base is zero, the sequence of characters starting with the first digit is interpreted as an integer constant. If the subject sequence has the expected form and the value of base is between 2 and 36, it is used as the base for conversion.

If the subject sequence begins with a minus sign, the value resulting from the conversion is negated.

A pointer to the final string is stored in the object pointed to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no conversion is performed, the value of nptr is stored in the object pointed to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

Thread safety

Safe.

Returns the converted value, if any. If no conversion could be performed, zero is returned. If the correct value is outside the range of representable values, HUGE_VALF is returned according to the sign of the value, if any, and the value of the macro ERANGE is stored in errno.

Additional information

Converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to float representation.

First, strtof() decomposes the input string into three parts: an initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space characters, as specified by isspace(), a subject sequence resembling a floating-point constant, and a final string of one or more unrecognized characters, including the terminating null character of the input string. strtof() then attempts to convert the subject sequence to a floating-point number, and return the result.

The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of the input string, starting with the first non-white-space character, that is of the expected form. The subject sequence contains no characters if the input string is empty or consists entirely of white space, or if the first non-white-space character is other than a sign or a permissible letter or digit.

The expected form of the subject sequence is an optional plus or minus sign followed by a nonempty sequence of decimal digits optionally containing a decimal-point character, then an optional exponent part.

If the subject sequence begins with a minus sign, the value resulting from the conversion is negated. A pointer to the final string is stored in the object pointed to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no conversion is performed, the value of nptr is stored in the object pointed to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

Parameters

Parameter Description
nptr Pointer to string to convert from.
endptr If nonnull, a pointer to object that receives the pointer to the first unconverted character.
base Radix to use for conversion, 2 to 36.

Return value

Returns the converted value, if any. If no conversion could be performed, zero is returned. If the correct value is outside the range of representable values, LONG_MIN or LONG_MAX is returned according to the sign of the value, if any, and the value of the macro ERANGE is stored in errno.

Additional information

Converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to a long representation.

First, wcstol() decomposes the input string into three parts: an initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space characters, as specified by isspace(), a subject sequence resembling an integer represented in some radix determined by the value of base, and a final string of one or more unrecognized characters, including the terminating null character of the input string. wcstol() then attempts to convert the subject sequence to an integer, and return the result.

When converting, no integer suffix (such as U, L, UL, LL, ULL) is allowed.

If the value of base is zero, the expected form of the subject sequence is an optional plus or minus sign followed by an integer constant.

If the value of base is between 2 and 36 (inclusive), the expected form of the subject sequence is an optional plus or minus sign followed by a sequence of letters and digits representing an integer with the radix specified by base. The letters from a (or A) through z (or Z) represent the values 10 through 35; only letters and digits whose ascribed values are less than that of base are permitted.

If the value of base is 16, the characters “0x” or “0X” may optionally precede the sequence of letters and digits, following the optional sign.

The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of the input string, starting with the first non-white-space character, that is of the expected form.

If the subject sequence has the expected form and the value of base is zero, the sequence of characters starting with the first digit is interpreted as an integer constant. If the subject sequence has the expected form and the value of base is between 2 and 36, it is used as the base for conversion.

If the subject sequence begins with a minus sign, the value resulting from the conversion is negated.

A pointer to the final string is stored in the object pointed to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no conversion is performed, the value of nptr is stored in the object pointed to by endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

If the object that mbtowc_l() points to does not form a valid multi-byte character within the first n characters, it returns -1.

Additional information

Converts a single multi-byte character to a wide character in the locale loc. The wide character, if the multi-byte character string is converted correctly, is stored into the object pointed to by pwc.

mbstowcs()

Description

Convert multi-byte string to wide string.

Prototype

size_t mbstowcs(      wchar_t * pwcs,
                const char    * s,
                      size_t    n);

Parameters

Parameter Description
pwcs Pointer to array that receives the wide character string.
s Pointer to array that contains the multi-byte string.
n Maximum number of wide characters to write into pwcs.

Return value

Returns -1 if an invalid multi-byte character is encountered, otherwise returns the number of array elements modified (if any), not including a terminating null wide character.

Additional information

Converts a sequence of multi-byte characters, in the current locale, that begins in the initial shift state from the array pointed to by s into a sequence of corresponding wide characters and stores not more than n wide characters into the array pointed to by pwcs.

No multi-byte characters that follow a null character (which is converted into a null wide character) will be examined or converted. Each multi-byte character is converted as if by a call to the mbtowc() function, except that the conversion state of the mbtowc() function is not affected.

No more than n elements will be modified in the array pointed to by pwcs. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

mbsrtowcs()

Description

Convert multi-byte string to wide character string, restartable.

Prototype

size_t mbsrtowcs(      wchar_t    * dst,
                 const char      ** src,

                       mbstate_t  * ps);

Parameters

Parameter Description
dst Pointer to object that receives the converted wide characters.
src Pointer to pointer to multi-byte character string.
len Maximum number of wide characters that will be written to dst.
ps Pointer to multi-byte conversion state.

Return value

The number of wide characters written to dst (not including the eventual terminating null character).

Additional information

Converts a sequence of multi-byte characters, in the current locale, that begins in the conversion state described by the object pointed to by ps, from the array indirectly pointed to by src into a sequence of corresponding wide characters.

If dst is not a null pointer, the converted characters are stored into the array pointed to by dst. Conversion continues up to and including a terminating null character, which is also stored.

Conversion stops earlier in two cases: when a sequence of bytes is encountered that does not form a valid multi-byte character, or (if dst is not a null pointer) when len wide characters have been stored into the array pointed to by dst. Each conversion takes place as if by a call to the mbrtowc() function.

If dst is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by src is assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to reaching a terminating null character) or the address just past the last multi-byte character converted (if any). If conversion stopped due to reaching a terminating null character and if dst is not a null pointer, the resulting state described is the initial conversion state.

wctomb()

Description

Convert wide character to multi-byte character.

Prototype

int wctomb(char * s,
                  wchar_t wc);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s Pointer to array that receives the multi-byte character.
wc Wide character to convert.

Return value

Returns the number of bytes stored in the array object. When wc is not a valid wide character, an encoding error occurs: wctomb() stores the value of the macro EILSEQ in errno and returns (size_t)(-1); the conversion state is unspecified.

Additional information

If s is a null pointer, wctomb() is equivalent to the call wcrtomb(buf, 0, ps) where buf is an internal buffer.

If s is not a null pointer, wctomb() determines the number of bytes needed to represent the multi-byte character that corresponds to the wide character given by wc in the current locale, and stores the multi-byte character representation in the array whose first element is pointed to by s. At most MB_CUR_MAX bytes are stored. If wc is a null wide character, a null byte is stored; the resulting state described is the initial conversion state.

Parameters

Parameter Description
s Pointer to array that receives the multi-byte character.
wc Wide character to convert.
loc Locale used for conversion.

Return value

Returns the number of bytes stored in the array object. When wc is not a valid wide character, an encoding error occurs: wctomb_l() stores the value of the macro EILSEQ in errno and returns (size_t)(-1); the conversion state is unspecified.

Additional information

If s is a null pointer, wctomb_l() is equivalent to the call wcrtomb_l(buf, 0, ps, loc) where buf is an internal buffer.

If s is not a null pointer, wctomb_l() determines the number of bytes needed to represent the multi-byte character that corresponds to the wide character given by wc in the locale loc, and stores the multi-byte character representation in the array whose first element is pointed to by s.

Parameters

Parameter Description
s Pointer to array that receives the multi-byte string.
pwcs Pointer to wide character string to convert.
n Maximum number of bytes to write into s.

Return value

<string.h>

The header file <string.h> defines functions that operate on arrays that are interpreted as null-terminated strings.

Various methods are used for determining the lengths of the arrays, but in all cases a char * or void * argument points to the initial (lowest addressed) character of the array. If an array is accessed beyond the end of an object, the behavior is undefined.

Where an argument declared as size_t n specifies the length of an array for a function, n can have the value zero on a call to that function. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description of a particular function, pointer arguments must have valid values on a call with a zero size. On such a call, a function that locates a character finds no occurrence, a function that compares two character sequences returns zero, and a function that copies characters copies zero characters.

               const char   * s2,
                     size_t   n);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s1 Pointer to string to copy to.
s2 Pointer to string to copy.
n Maximum number of characters, including terminating null, in s1.

Return value

Returns the number of characters it tried to copy, which is the length of the string s2 or n, whichever is smaller.

Additional information

Copies up to n-1 characters from the string pointed to by s2 into the array pointed to by s1 and always terminates the result with a null character.

The behavior of strlcpy() is undefined if copying takes place between objects that overlap.

Conformance

Commonly found in BSD libraries and contrasts with strncpy() in that the resulting string is always terminated with a null character.

Thread safety

Safe.

stpcpy()

Description

Copy string, return end.

Prototype

char *stpcpy(      char * s1,
             const char * s2);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s1 String to copy to.
s2 String to copy.

Return value

A pointer to the end of the string s1, i.e. the terminating null byte of the string s1, after s2 is copied to it.

Additional information

Copies the string pointed to by s2 (including the terminating null character) into the array pointed to by s1. The behavior of stpcpy() is undefined if copying takes place between objects that overlap.

Thread safety

Safe.

stpncpy()

Description

Copy string, limit length, return end.

Prototype

char *stpncpy(      char   * s1,
              const char   * s2,
                    size_t   n);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s1 String to copy to.
s2 String to copy.
n Maximum number of characters to copy.

Return value

stpncpy() returns a pointer to the terminating null byte in s1 after it is copied to, or, if s1 is not null-terminated, s1+n.

Additional information

Copies not more than n characters from the array pointed to by s2 to the array pointed to by s1. Characters that follow a null character in s2 are not copied. The behavior of strncpy() is undefined if copying takes place between objects that overlap. If the array pointed to by s2 is a string that is shorter than n characters, null characters are appended to the copy in the array pointed to by s1, until n characters in all have been written.

Notes

No null character is implicitly appended to the end of s1, so s1 will only be terminated by a null character if the length of the string pointed to by s2 is less than n.

Thread safety

Safe.

strcat()

Description

Concatenate strings.

Prototype

char *strcat(      char * s1,
             const char * s2);

s2 String to append.
n Maximum number of characters in s1.

Return value

Returns the value of s1.

Additional information

Appends not more than n characters from the array pointed to by s2 to the end of the string pointed to by s1. A null character in s1 and characters that follow it are not appended. The initial character of s2 overwrites the null character at the end of s1. A terminating null character is always appended to the result.

The behavior of strncat() is undefined if copying takes place between objects that overlap.

Thread safety

Safe.

strtok()

Description

Break string into tokens.

Prototype

char *strtok(      char * s1,
             const char * s2);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s1 Pointer to zero-terminated string to parse.
s2 Pointer to zero-terminated set of separators.

Return value

NULL if no further tokens else a pointer to the next token.

Additional information

A sequence of calls to strtok() breaks the string pointed to by s1 into a sequence of tokens, each of which is delimited by a character from the string pointed to by s2. The first call in the sequence has a non-null first argument; subsequent calls in the sequence have a null first argument. The separator string pointed to by s2 may be different from call to call.

The first call in the sequence searches the string pointed to by s1 for the first character that is not contained in the current separator string pointed to by s2. If no such character is found, then there are no tokens in the string pointed to by s1 and strtok() returns a null pointer. If such a character is found, it is the start of the first token.

strtok() then searches from there for a character that is contained in the current separator string. If no such character is found, the current token extends to the end of the string pointed to by s1, and subsequent searches for a token will return a null pointer. If such a character is found, it is overwritten by a null character, which terminates the current token. strtok() saves a pointer to the following character, from which the next search for a token will start.

Each subsequent call, with a null pointer as the value of the first argument, starts searching from the saved pointer and behaves as described above.

Thread safety

Safe [if configured].

Parameters

Parameter Description
stringp Pointer to pointer to zero-terminated string.
delim Pointer to delimiter set string.

Return value

See below.

Additional information

Locates, in the string referenced by *stringp, the first occurrence of any character in the string delim (or the terminating null character) and replaces it with a null character. The location of the next character after the delimiter character (or NULL, if the end of the string was reached) is stored in *stringp. The original value of *stringp is returned.

An empty field (that is, a character in the string delim occurs as the first character of *stringp) can be detected by comparing the location referenced by the returned pointer to the null wide character.

If *stringp is initially null, strsep() returns null.

The behavior of wcsncpy() is undefined if copying takes place between objects that overlap. If the array pointed to by s2 is a wide string that is shorter than n wide characters, null wide characters are appended to the copy in the array pointed to by s1, until n characters in all have been written.

Notes

No wide null character is implicitly appended to the end of s1, so s1 will only be terminated by a wide null character if the length of the wide string pointed to by s2 is less than n.

Thread safety

Safe.

wcstok()

Description

Break string into tokens.

Prototype

wchar_t *wcstok(      wchar_t  * s1,
                const wchar_t  * s2,
                      wchar_t ** ptr);

Parameters

Parameter Description
s1 Pointer to zero-terminated wide string to parse.
s2 Pointer to zero-terminated set of separators.
ptr Pointer to object that maintains parse state.

Return value

NULL if no further tokens else a pointer to the next token.

Additional information

A sequence of calls to wcstok() breaks the wide string pointed to by s1 into a sequence of tokens, each of which is delimited by a wide character from the wide string pointed to by s2. The first call in the sequence has a non-null first argument; subsequent calls in the sequence have a null first argument. The separator wide string pointed to by s2 may be different from call to call.

The first call in the sequence searches the wide string pointed to by s1 for the wide first character that is not contained in the current separator wide string pointed to by s2. If no such wide character is found, then there are no tokens in the string pointed to by s1 and wcstok() returns a null pointer. If such a wide character is found, it is the start of the first token.

wcstok() then searches from there for a wide character that is contained in the current separator wide string. If no such wide character is found, the current token extends to the end of the wide string pointed to by s1, and subsequent searches for a token will return a null pointer. If such a wide character is found, it is overwritten by a null wide character, which terminates the current token. wcstok() saves a pointer to the following wide character, from which the next search for a token will start.

Each subsequent call, with a null pointer as the value of the first argument, starts searching from the saved pointer and behaves as described above.

Thread safety

Safe.

wcssep()

Description

Break string into tokens (BSD).

Prototype

wchar_t *wcssep(      wchar_t ** stringp,
                const wchar_t  * delim);

Parameters

Parameter Description
stringp Pointer to pointer to zero-terminated wide string.
delim Pointer to delimiter set wide string.

Return value

See below.

Additional information

Locates, in the wide string referenced by *stringp, the first occurrence of any wide character in the wide string delim (or the terminating null character) and replaces it with a null wide character. The location of the next wide character after the delimiter wide character (or NULL, if the end of the wide string was reached) is stored in *stringp. The original value of *stringp is returned.

An empty field (that is, a wide character in the string delim occurs as the first character of *stringp) can be detected by comparing the location referenced by the returned pointer to the null wide character.

If *stringp is initially null, wcssep() returns null.

Parameters

Parameter Description
s Pointer to array that receives the multi-byte character.
wc Wide character to convert.
ps Pointer to multi-byte conversion state.

Return value

Returns the number of bytes stored in the array object. When wc is not a valid wide character, an encoding error occurs: wcrtomb() stores the value of the macro EILSEQ in errno and returns (size_t)(-1); the conversion state is unspecified.

Additional information

If s is a null pointer, wcrtomb() is equivalent to the call wcrtomb(buf, 0, ps) where buf is an internal buffer.

If s is not a null pointer, wcrtomb() determines the number of bytes needed to represent the multi-byte character that corresponds to the wide character given by wc in the locale loc, and stores the multi-byte character representation in the array whose first element is pointed to by s. At most MB_CUR_MAX bytes are stored. If wc is a null wide character, a null byte is stored; the resulting state described is the initial conversion state.

Additional information

If s is a null pointer, wcrtomb() is equivalent to the call wcrtomb(buf, 0, ps) where buf is an internal buffer.

If s is not a null pointer, wcrtomb() determines the number of bytes needed to represent the multi-byte character that corresponds to the wide character given by wc in the current locale, and stores the multi-byte character representation in the array whose first element is pointed to by s. At most MB_CUR_MAX bytes are stored. If wc is a null wide character, a null byte is stored; the resulting state described is the initial conversion state.

Parameters

Parameter Description
dst Pointer to array that receives the multi-byte string.
src Indirect pointer to wide character string being converted.
len Maximum number of bytes to write into the array pointed to by dst.
ps Pointer to multi-byte conversion state.

Return value

If conversion stops because a wide character is reached that does not correspond to a valid multi-byte character, an encoding error occurs: wcsrtombs() stores the value of the macro EILSEQ in errno and returns (size_t)(-1); the conversion state is unspecified. Otherwise, it returns the number of bytes in the resulting multi-byte character sequence, not including the terminating null character (if any).

Additional information

Converts a sequence of wide characters in the current locale from the array indirectly pointed to by src into a sequence of corresponding multi-byte characters that begins in the conversion state described by the object pointed to by ps. If dst is not a null pointer, the converted characters are then stored into the array pointed to by dst. Conversion continues up to and including a terminating null wide character, which is also stored.

Conversion stops earlier in two cases: when a wide character is reached that does not correspond to a valid multi-byte character, or (if dst is not a null pointer) when the next multi-byte character would exceed the limit of len total bytes to be stored into the array pointed to by dst. Each conversion takes place as if by a call to wcrtomb().

If dst is not a null pointer, the pointer object pointed to by src is assigned either a null pointer (if conversion stopped due to reaching a terminating null wide character) or the address just past the last wide character converted (if any). If conversion stopped due to reaching a terminating null wide character, the resulting state described is the initial conversion state.

Locale management

Function Description
newlocale() Create or modify locale (POSIX.1).
duplocale() Duplicate locale data (POSIX.1).
uselocale() Set current locale (POSIX.1).
freelocale() Free locale (POSIX.1).
localeconv_l() Get locale data (POSIX.1).
newlocale()

Description

Create or modify locale (POSIX.1).

Prototype

locale_t newlocale(      int        category_mask,
                   const char     * loc,
                         locale_t   base);

Parameters

Parameter Description
category_mask Locale categories to be set or modified.
loc Locale name.
base Base to modify or NULL to create a new locale.

Return value

Pointer to modified locale.

Additional information

Creates a new locale object or modifies an existing one. If the base argument is NULL, a new locale object is created.

category_mask specifies the locale categories to be set or modified. Values for category_mask are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive OR of the symbolic constants LC_CTYPE_MASK, LC_NUMERIC_MASK, LC_TIME_MASK, LC_COLLATE_MASK, LC_MONETARY_MASK, and LC_MESSAGES_MASK.

For each category with the corresponding bit set in category_mask, the data from the locale named by loc is used. In the case of modifying an existing locale object, the data from the locale named by loc replaces the existing data within the locale object. If a completely new locale object is created, the data for all sections not requested by category_mask are taken from the default locale.

The locales “C” and “POSIX” are equivalent and defined for all settings of category_mask:

If loc is NULL, then the “C” locale is used. If loc is an empty string, newlocale() will use the default locale.

If base is NULL, the current locale is used. If base is LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE, the global locale is used.

If mask is LC_ALL_MASK, base is ignored.

Notes

Conforms to POSIX.1-2017.

POSIX.1-2017 does not specify whether the locale object pointed to by base is modified or whether it is freed and a new locale object created.

The category mask LC_MESSAGES_MASK is not implemented as POSIX messages are not implemented.

Compiler support API

Environment support

This section summarises the functions proved by emRun to support the C library and environment.

Function Description
__SEGGER_RTL_execute_at_exit_fns Execute at-exit functions.
__SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer Set buffer used to store locale names.

__SEGGER_RTL_execute_at_exit_fns()

Description

Execute at-exit functions.

Prototype

void __SEGGER_RTL_execute_at_exit_fns(void);

Additional information

Executes all functions registered by calls to atexit() in reverse order of their registration. It does this in the caller’s execution context.

Thread safety

Not applicable.

__SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer()

Description

Set buffer used to store locale names.

Prototype

void __SEGGER_RTL_set_locale_name_buffer(char * buf);

Parameters

Parameter Description
buf Pointer to object that stores name buffer.

Additional information

The function setlocale() returns a pointer to an object that contains the previously-set locale. As such, that object must be thread-local, but its size is not known at compile time. Additionally, to be thread-safe, this buffer must be local to the thread and not shared between separate execution contexts.

The user can set the location for the name buffer used by setlocale() using this function. The name buffer must be large enough to contain six locale names separated by semicolons and terminated by a final null. Assuming a locale name “hu_HU.iso_8859_2” of 16 characters, a buffer of at least 102 characters is required for correct operation.

Note that if no name buffer is set using this function, setlocale() may still be used but will return NULL as the result. This enables use of setlocale() but does incur an overhead for a thread-local or global buffer which may never be required.

Thread safety

Safe [if configured].

Arm AEABI library API

The emRun provides an implementation of the Arm AEABI functions.

The assembly language floating-point funnctions are contained in separate files:

void __SEGGER_RTL_X_atomic_synchronize(void);

Additional information

This function is called to ensure all memory reads and writes are complete before continuing.

Error and assertion functions

Function Description
__SEGGER_RTL_X_assert User-defined behavior for the assert macro.
__SEGGER_RTL_X_errno_addr Return pointer to object holding errno.

__SEGGER_RTL_X_assert()

Description

User-defined behavior for the assert macro.

Prototype

void __SEGGER_RTL_X_assert(const char * expr,
                           const char * filename,
                                 int    line);

Parameters

Parameter Description
expr Stringized expression that caused failure.
filename Filename of the source file where the failure was signaled.
line Line number of the failed assertion.

Additional information

The default implementation of __SEGGER_RTL_X_assert() prints the filename, line, and error message to standard output and then calls abort().

__SEGGER_RTL_X_assert() is defined as a weak function and can be replaced by user code.

__SEGGER_RTL_X_errno_addr()

Description

Return pointer to object holding errno.

Prototype

int *__SEGGER_RTL_X_errno_addr(void);

Return value

Pointer to errno object.

Additional information

The default implementation of this function is to return the address of a variable declared with the __SEGGER_RTL_STATE_THREAD storage class. Thus, for multithreaded environments that implement thread-local variables through __SEGGER_RTL_STATE_THREAD, each thread receives its own thread-local errno.

It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe how thread-local variables are implemented by the compiler and any associated real-time operating system.

When __SEGGER_RTL_STATE_THREAD is defined as an empty macro, this function returns the address of a singleton errno object.

Appendices

Benchmarking performance

The following benchmarks of the low-level floating-point arithmetic functions show expected performance of each archttecture, measured on the same device. For the RISC-V benchmarks, the device is a TLS9518A executing from instruction-local memory.
