Linker Warnings on every new project

[Robert Ritchey]

Moved from MPUs forum

Every new project I start now has linker error at the end

How do I get rid of these errors?  An older project does not generate these errors.

Hi @Robert Ritchey 

Can you please elaborate on which STM32 you are working and explain differences between "old" and "new" project ?

I notice you are using an old CubeIDE 1.14 and maybe some compatibility issues may come with recent firmware package.

I started a new project in the last month and these errors started showing up.  By old project, I mean a project that I did last year that I recompiled, and the errors did not show up. I tried IDE 18.0 and the same errors showed up.  I looked all through my code and could not find any reference to a library that might contain file functions.  I generated a listing file and looked all through it and could not find any references to the functions I am getting errors for. I cannot figure out why I am getting warnings (and errors under 18.0) for these file functions. 

[Andrew Neil]

You've posted this under MPUs - did you mean to post under MCUs?

 

These aren't errors - they're just warnings.

They're just telling you that the runtime library has no support for _close_r, _lseek_r, _read_r, and _write_r

These are all file operations so, in many (most?) embedded MCU projects, none of it matters - and can be safely ignored.

 

IME, it is normal behaviour that these are given once only on the very first build of a project.

Yes, I meant to post it under MCUs.  Sorry.  I know they are warnings under IDE14.1 but they become errors under IDE 18.0 which is why I am running 14.1.  They show up every build, not just the first time it is built.  Since they are errors under 18.0 I cannot upgrade.

OK - moved.

Do they actually become errors, or is 1.18.0 just configured to treat warnings as errors?

If the latter, you should be able to override that?

[Andrew Neil]

Does your project contain a syscalls.c ?

 

That should implement these functions

[Robert Ritchey]

No, syscall.c is not in the build
