Atomic operations with <stdatomic.h> in IDF?

[jabakobob]

Hi!

I'm trying to write an ISR for a quadrature encoder. My function needs to xor a global variable and increments a global counter. I figured the correct way to do that would be by using atomic operations defined in <stdatomic.h>. However, when I include this header file, I get a lot of error messages (see below).

What's the recommended way to perform atomic operations if we can't use functions like atomic_fetch_xor(), atomic_fetch_add() ?

Code: Select all

   ( ... and so on ...)

I was able to fix the errors by including esp_types.h first:

Code: Select all

#include <esp_types.h>
#include <stdatomic.h>

Thanks jakob. For the record, I think including stdint.h is all that is strictly needed. Will fix this in esp-idf.
