hal_type_t
NAME
hal_type_t — typedefs for HAL datatypes
DESRCIPTION
typedef … hal_bool
A type which may have a value of 0 or nonzero.
typedef … hal_bit_t
A volatile type which may have a value of 0 or nonzero.
typedef … hal_s32_t
A volatile type which may have a value from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
typedef … hal_u32_t
A volatile type which may have a value from 0 to 4294967295.
typedef … hal_float_t
A volatile floating-point type, which typically has the same precision and range
as the C type double.
typedef … real_t
A nonvolatile floating-point type with at least as much precision as
hal_float_t.
typedef … ireal_t
A nonvolatile unsigned integral type the same size as hal_float_t.
typedef enum hal_type_t
HAL_BIT Corresponds to the type hal_bit_t.
HAL_FLOAT Corresponds to the type hal_float_t.
HAL_S32 Corresponds to the type hal_s32_t.
HAL_U32 Corresponds to the type hal_u32_t.
NOTES
hal_bit_t is typically a typedef to an integer type whose range is larger
than just 0 and 1.
When testing the value of a hal_bit_t, never compare
it to 1. Prefer one of the following:
if(b)
if(b != 0)
It is often useful to refer to a type that can represent all the values as a hal type, but without the volatile qualifier. The following types correspond with the hal types:
hal_bit_t == int
hal_s32_t == __s32
hal_u32_t == __u32
hal_float_t == hal_real_t
Take care not to use the types s32 and u32.
These will compile in
kernel modules but not in userspace, and not for "realtime components" when
using simulated (userspace) realtime.
