Arduino 1.6.7 Forward declarations
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 1:18 pmGuys,
Moving to Arduino IDE 1.6.7 is a real pain. If as many of us would have created sub tabs with routines in which work perfectly fine in 1.6.5 they do not get declared unless a forward declaration for a subroutine name is defined in the global space.
Example
Program has 2 Ino files. Main.ino and NTP.ino
NTP.ino has a function lets say called NTP_Active() which returns bool as a return if NTP has been synced.
Now in the Main.ino file we have to declare in the global scope a forward declaration for this subroutine.
e.g:
Global Scope above setup in Main.ino
bool NTP_Active(); // forward declaration here
Void Setup()
{
}
Is there any alternative method without having to re define every single function in the global scope? What a real pain this is!
Look forward to your findings and feedback.
