Description
I’m encountering two issues while trying to compile a project that contains ThreadX (master branch) in a Win32 port using Visual Studio Code on Windows 10:
Pointer type mismatch with timeSetEvent:
There’s an incompatible pointer type error when passing the third argument to timeSetEvent. The error message is:
Passing argument 3 of 'timeSetEvent' from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types].
It seems there’s an issue with the type of the third argument being passed to timeSetEvent.
Warning about #pragma comment:
I’m getting a warning:
#pragma comment: ignoring '#pragma comment' [-Wunknown-pragmas].
The line in question is:
#pragma comment (lib, "Winmm.lib").
This seems to be related to linking the Winmm.lib library, but even after manually adding the library paths to the compiler, it still can't find winmm.lib. I’m unsure why the pragma is being ignored.
I’m using the latest master branch of ThreadX, and I’m working in a Win32 environment with Visual Studio Code with gcc.
Any help with resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.
