Cannot compile RRC generated files on VC++

[nickaein]

Hi,

The generated code for 3GPP RRC compiles on linux (gcc), but I fails to compile. The problem is with the A_SET_OF macro, apparently, which defines a free function that has a structure definition as the parameter. Here is more info about the problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26207145

As the documentation of asn1c says with minor teaks it possible to compile the generated on VC++, I wanted to ask if there is workaround to this issue.

Currently there is no work-around.

I replaced type* with void* in the definition of the free function. This hack solved the issue. I've also had to add two dummy variables to asn_INTEGER_specifics_s and asn_per_constraints_s structs to bypass Too many initializer error.

Now I have reached a point in which I am getting C1046: compiler limit : struct nested too deeply error (e.g. on this file) since (as the error says) some structures are too nested and I am not sure if it can be solved.

There is rrc-dump.exe included in the Windows installer http://lionet.info/asn1c/download.html built on 2006. Is it compiled for Windows using a different compiler? Or the older version of asn1c (back in 2006) was compatible with VC++?

Hi, @nickaein,

I submitted a pull request #96 trying to solve this issue. Currently there is no warning when building rrc-dump on Linux platform. But I don't know whether it works on VC++. Just for your reference.

thanks.

@brchiu Thanks. I Will give it a try and let you know

@nickaein, Many thanks for your feedback.

Today @mdrenwick feedback to me in #95 that my original pull request not work for R12 RRC ASN.1 file.
I found that my modification is incomplete and need to consider more cases like CHOICE type.

I have already made this change in my modified pull request.

For your reference.
