how can I use void** function(void**)

void * can refer to an address of any type. You can read it as: 'a pointer to something in memory'. So this means, it can point to an integer, a string, an object, ... everything. Some examples:

void *anyObject;
int a = 1;
float b = 2;
char *c = "somestring";

function aFunction(int a)
{
   ...
}

anyObject = &a;
anyObject = &b;
anyObject = &c;
anyObject = &aFunction;

These are all valid assignments.

To come back to your question: a void ** is a pointer to a pointer to void; in proper English: it points to a location in memory where the value of void * is stored. Continuing from the above example:

void **p;
p = &anyObject;

In general, void * are dangerous, because they are not type safe. In order to use them, you MUST cast them to a known type. And the compiler will not complain if you cast it to something illegal.

Okay, how do you use it? Well, that is difficult to answer because we cannot derive from the declaration what types are expected. Also, it is possible that this functions allocates memory itself inside the function and returns that within the parameter. But, the general principle is: take the address (&) of 'a pointer to something', and pass that to the function.

int a = 0;
int *pa = &a;
functionName(&pa);
You are required to write a C program to: • Initialize GPIO peripherals • Initialise UART peripheral for receiving ASCII characters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ at baud 9600 • Initialise an internal array to hold 10 characters with head and tail: CharBuff • Repeat the following:o When data is received on the serial communication port, read ASCII character X, o If received character X is a capital letter add it to CharBuff, else ignore. o While CharBuff is not empty, transmit the morse code of the oldest stored character by blinking the LED (code provided for you). o When CharBuff is full, disable UART RX. o If UART RX is disabled, pushing the button P_B1 will activate it; otherwise, pushing the button does not affect your programme. You are recommended to use interrupt to control UART receiving data and coordinate the operation between CharBuff and P_LD2. 在我的代码基础上完成以上任务#include <platform.h> #include <gpio.h> #include "delay.h" #include "uart.h" #include <stm32f4xx.h> /* ***************NOTE*********************** YOU CAN USE THE IN-UILT FUNCTION delay_ms(HOW_LONG) TO CAUSE A DELAY OF HOW_LONG MILLI SECONDS ******************************************* */ //placeholder /*void uart_rx_isr(uint8_t rx){ }*/ #define MAX 10 int uart_rx_enabled = 1; char CharBuff[MAX]; int head = 0; int tail = 0; int is_full() { return (tail + 1) % MAX == head; } int is_empty() { return head == tail; } void add_to_buffer(char c) { if (!is_full()) { CharBuff[tail] = c; tail = (tail + 1) % MAX; } else { uart_rx_enabled = 0; //uart_disable(); } } void uart_rx_isr(uint8_t c){ if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') { if (!is_full()) { CharBuff[tail] = c; tail = (tail + 1) % MAX; } else { uart_rx_enabled = 0; //uart_disable(); } } } char remove_from_buffer() { char c = CharBuff[head]; head = (head + 1) % MAX; if (uart_rx_enabled == 0 && !is_full()) {//The buffer is not full after removing a char uart_rx_enabled = 1;//enable the Uart RX uart_enable(); } return c; } int main(void) { // Initialise GPIO. gpio_set_mode(P_LD2, Output); gpio_set_mode(P_B1, PullUp); // hardware/peripheral initialisation uart_init(9600); uart_enable(); uart_set_rx_callback(uart_rx_isr);//This callback function is triggered when data is received through the serial port while(1){ if(!is_empty()){ gpio_set(P_LD2, LED_ON); char c = remove_from_buffer(); } } } // ******* ARM University Program Copyright © ARM Ltd 2016 ****************** // ******* Queen Mary University of London Copyright Matthew Tang 2021 ******
