How to prevent unused functions from operating? | Experts Exchange
Our Advanced Drive Assist Systems(ADAS) project is based on Two identical Renesas RH850 / U2A16 Microcontrollers. Our programming language is embedded 'C'.

How to create settings so that unused functions do no operate? Please provide an example.

 

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you give an example of unused functions operating? This should be interesting.

 

Yes, unused and operating seem to be mutually exclusive.

Sigh....

In some world views, apparently unused functions can decide to operate autonomously without human intervention. It sounds kind of creepy.

First, if a function isn't called, it isn't used. Beyond that, this is really a question of how you configure your compiler optimization. This is called 'dead code elimination'

 

I would tell you that operation is entirely too creepy to be real.

I was going to advise you to turn it off once and forever, but that is what booted up Skynet.

Just leave it be and walk away slowly.

Let's give the TS a chance to answer the question. Piling on is of only momentary benefit, but if we have the patience to read the reasoning behind the question we might even learn something, IMHO

 

It’s 40+ hours since he asked his question. He might have been scared off.

 

Seven posts over 36 hours is hardly what I would call piling on. Still, if the TS has something to contribute we are all still waiting to hear what that is.
