To define macro to set and clear the pin

[Lchal.1]

HI, I am using Macro to set and clear my pin using stm32f103. This is the macro i defined

#define SET(PIN,N) (PIN |= (1<<N))

#define CLR(PIN,N) (PIN &= ~(1<<N))

where ,

• PIN is the value whose bit to set or/and clear
• N is the bit number to set or/and clear

i have done the code like,

if(Drive _Enabled==1)

{

Status _Register[2] = SET(1,0);

}

//Status _Register[2] = CLR(1,0);

 if(drive_ motion _complete==1)  //to read whether motion is complete or not

    {

     Status _Register[2] = SET(1,1);

    }

but i am getting error can anyone help me how to solve this error and what i need to add to my code please.

i have attached the picture showing the error below.

Always start inspection with the first error, which is not visible...

Thank you

Scroll up the Console View such that the first lines are visible and make a new screen shot if you cannot decipher the first error message yourself.

please define your macros like this :

#define SET(PIN, N, OUT) (OUT = PIN | (1<<N))

#define CLR(PIN, N, OUT) (OUT = PIN & ~(1<<N))

You need an extra parameter (OUT) to store the rValue calculated by the macro function.

store OUT in your status register

Macros are not a good solution anyway.

Why not using inline functions ?

@Ozone​ I completely agree with you. Inline functions are always good to have rather than macros.
