“invalid indirection operand ? error when passing a struct to function in Cosmic compiler and STM8

[VYoun]

I am writing a firmware for stm8 with Cosmic compiler and in ST Visual Develop. I am using astruct as the following:

typedef enum
{
 lcBlack = 0,
 lcRed,
 lcGreen,
 lcOrange
}
led_color_t;
 
 PUBLIC typedef enum
{
 lppEmpty,
 lppStartup,
 lpp_volt_off,
 lpp_volt_warn,
 lpp_volt_over,
 lpp_volt_under,
 lpp_volt_drop,
 lppPause,
 lppHY,
 lppMLZ,
 lppTD,
 lppOnOK,
 lppOff,
 lppLixilTestTouch
}
led_name_t;
 
 
typedef struct
{
 uint8_t enable;
 led_name_t led_name;
 led_color_t led_color;
 uint8_t prio;
 uint16_t t_on_0;
 uint16_t t_off_0;
 uint8_t cnt_0;
 uint16_t t_on_1;
 uint16_t t_off_1;
 uint8_t cnt_1;
 uint16_t t_1;
 uint16_t t_2;
}
led_patt_t;

then I define and initialize an array of structs as the following:

 led_patt_t led_pattern[73] = {
{0, lppEmpty, lcBlack, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, lppStartup, lcRed, 255, 100, 100, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 500},
{1, lpp_volt_off, lcRed, 210, 100, 100, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1100},
{1, lpp_volt_warn, lcRed, 210, 150, 150, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1300} 
... }; 

Next I need to define a function that uses the struct array members as the following:

result_t led_pattern_request (led_patt_t led_patt){ 
{
 
led_private.pattern_current.color[0] = led_patt.led_color;
led_private.pattern_current.color[1] = led_patt.led_color;
led_private.pattern_current.priority = led_patt.prio;
led_private.pattern_current.time_on_25ms[0] = (uint8_t)led_patt.t_on_0;
.
.
.
} 

Where

led_data_t led_private; 

Then in my main I call the above function as the following:

led_pattern_request (led_pattern[17]); 

However, after compiling I get the follwing errors:

• #error cpstm8 ..\src\memory\flash.c:38(36+2) invalid indirection operand
• #error cpstm8 ..\src\memory\flash.c:38(38) incompatible argument type
• #error cpstm8 ..\src\memory\flash.c:38(24+11) led_pattern undefined

This is really confusing for me, I also tried to pass a pointer to the struct to the function but I get the same errors. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am new to programming and need your help.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
