Hi,
I have one question about Cortexm3 from smartfusion device from actel. Could you pls help me? I add follwing codes into retarget.c and then add retarget.c into source code group and find : printf function works.however scanf function doesn't. anybody knows why?
int fputc(int ch, FILE *f) { return ((int)ITM_SendChar(ch)); } int fgetc(FILE *f) { int i=0; i=ITM_ReceiveChar(); if((-1)!=i) return ((int)ITM_SendChar((uint32_t)i)); else return (0); }
printf("hello world\n\r"); // when executed, string displayed in debug(printf)window scanf("%s",str); // when executed, hard fault occurs
Well known dangerous functions that stands for a large number of buffer overflows in this world includes: scanf() gets() sprintf() strcpy()
Note that Keil doesn't have the standard gets() but have duplicated the fix from fgets(), i.e. added a size parameter telling the max number of characters that may be handled.
