Dear all,
The below implementation of _sys_read() returns an error code (a negative number, e.g. -7) if the underlaying file system functions indicates an error. The caller of _sys_read() (the C lib) seems not to accept such an error handling and repeatedly calls _sys_read() in order to complete the read operation. This ends up in an infinite loop.
How can I escape the "read loop" in the error case?
int _sys_read (FILEHANDLE fh, unsigned char * buf, unsigned len, int mode) { int ret = EOF; struct __FILE * fp = (struct __FILE *)fh; if (fp != NULL) { if (fp->handle == STDIN) { /* Standard Input device. */ while (len) { *buf = ITM_ReceiveChar(); len --; ++buf; if('\r' == *buf ) { break; } } ret = len; } #if _RETARGET_USE_FILESYSTEM else if (NULL != fp->fd) { # if (_RETARGET_USE_DATAFLASH_FILE && _RETARGET_USE_SD_CARD_FILE) if ((fp->handle == DATAFLASH) || (fp->handle == SD_CARD)) // both # elif _RETARGET_USE_DATAFLASH_FILE if (fp->handle == DATAFLASH) // only DATAFLASH # elif _RETARGET_USE_SD_CARD_FILE if (fp->handle == SD_CARD) // only SD_CARD # endif { I16 err; U32 size = FILESYSTEM_FRead(buf, 1, len, fp->fd); // It is in fact very simple if we support case (A): // - if not len bytes read, EOF was reached or an error occured // - if no error occured len bytes are read and the remaining bytes // is 0, which corresponds FS_ERR_OK // // -> we can thus return the result of FS_FError() err = FILESYSTEM_FError(fp->fd); if ((err == FS_ERR_OK) || (err == FS_ERR_EOF)) { ret = len - size; } else { ret = err; } } } #endif // _RETARGET_USE_FILESYSTEM } return ret; }
