Data Structure Documentation

◆ QEvt

struct QEvt

Event structure.

Description: QEvt represents events without parameters and serves as the base structure for derivation of events with parameters.

Usage: The following example illustrates how to add an event parameter by derivation of the QEvt structure. Please note that the QEvt member super_ is defined as the FIRST member of the derived struct.
typedef struct {
QEvt super; /* inherits QEvt */
uint8_t keyId; /* ID of the key depressed */
} CalcEvt;

See also: Object Orientation

Definition at line 153 of file qep.h.

Collaboration diagram for QEvt:

Data Fields
QSignal	sig	signal of the event instance
uint8_t	poolId_	pool ID (0 for static event)
uint8_t volatile	refCtr_	reference counter

◆ QHsmAttr

union QHsmAttr

Attribute of for the QHsm class (Hierarchical State Machine).

Description: This union represents possible values stored in the 'state' and 'temp' attributes of the QHsm class.

Definition at line 246 of file qep.h.

Collaboration diagram for QHsmAttr:

Data Fields
QStateHandler	fun	pointer to a state-handler function
QActionHandler	act	pointer to an action-handler function
struct QMState const *	obj	pointer to QMState object
struct QMTranActTable const *	tatbl	transition-action table

◆ QHsm

struct QHsm

Description: QHsm represents a Hierarchical State Machine (HSM) with full support for hierarchical nesting of states, entry/exit actions, initial transitions, and transitions to history in any composite state. This class is designed for ease of manual coding of HSMs in C, but it is also supported by the QM modeling tool.
QHsm is also the base class for the QMsm state machine, which provides a superior efficiency, but requires the use of the QM modeling tool to generate code.

Note: QHsm is not intended to be instantiated directly, but rather serves as the base structure for derivation of state machines in the application code.

Usage: The following example illustrates how to derive a state machine structure from QHsm. Please note that the QHsm member super is defined as the FIRST member of the derived struct.
typedef struct {
QHsm super; /* inhertits QHsm */
double operand1;
double operand2;
char display[DISP_WIDTH + 1];
uint8_t len;
uint8_t opKey;
} Calc;

◆ QMState

struct QMState

State object for the QMsm class (QM State Machine).

Description: This class groups together the attributes of a QMsm state, such as the parent state (state nesting), the associated state handler function and the exit action handler function. These attributes are used inside the QMsm_dispatch() and QMsm_init() functions.

Attention: The QMState class is only intended for the QM code generator and should not be used in hand-crafted code.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ QP_VERSION

#define QP_VERSION 651U

Definition at line 48 of file qep.h.

◆ QP_VERSION_STR

#define QP_VERSION_STR "6.5.1"

The current QP version number string of the form XX.Y.Z, where XX is a 2-digit major version number, Y is a 1-digit minor version number, and Z is a 1-digit release number.

Definition at line 54 of file qep.h.

◆ QP_RELEASE

#define QP_RELEASE 0x8E7055B4U

Tamperproof current QP release (6.5.1) and date (2019-05-24)

Definition at line 57 of file qep.h.

◆ QEP_getVersion

#define QEP_getVersion ( ) (QP_versionStr)

get the current QEP version number string of the form "X.Y.Z"

Definition at line 101 of file qep.h.

◆ Q_SIGNAL_SIZE

#define Q_SIGNAL_SIZE 2

The size (in bytes) of the signal of an event.

Valid values: 1, 2, or 4; default 1

Description: This macro can be defined in the QEP port file (qep_port.h) to configure the QSignal type. When the macro is not defined, the default of 2 bytes is applied.

Definition at line 115 of file qep.h.

◆ Q_HSM_UPCAST

#define Q_HSM_UPCAST ( ptr_ ) ((QHsm *)(ptr_))

Perform upcast from a subclass of QHsm to the base class QHsm.

Description: Upcasting from a subclass to superclass is a very frequent and safe operation in object-oriented programming and object-oriented languages (such as C++) perform such upcasting automatically. However, OOP is implemented in C just as a set of coding conventions (see Object Orientation), and the C compiler does not "know" that certain types are related by inheritance. Therefore for C, the upcast must be performed explicitly. Unfortunately, pointer casting violates the advisory MISRA-C 2004 rule 11.4 "cast pointer to pointer". This macro encapsulates this deviation and provides a descriptive name for the reason of this cast.

Definition at line 180 of file qep.h.

◆ Q_EVT_CAST

#define Q_EVT_CAST ( class_ ) ((class_ const *)e)

Perform downcast of an event onto a subclass of QEvt class_.

Description: QEvt represents events without parameters and serves as the base structure This macro encapsulates the downcast of QEvt pointers, which violates MISRA-C 2004 rule 11.4(advisory). This macro helps to localize this deviation.

Definition at line 190 of file qep.h.

◆ Q_UINT2PTR_CAST

#define Q_UINT2PTR_CAST	(	type_,
		uint_
	)	((type_ *)(uint_))

Perform cast from unsigned integer uint_ to pointer of type type_.

Description: This macro encapsulates the cast to (type_ *), which QP ports or application might use to access embedded hardware registers. Such uses can trigger PC-Lint "Note 923: cast from int to pointer" and this macro helps to encapsulate this deviation.

Definition at line 201 of file qep.h.

◆ Q_STATE_CAST

#define Q_STATE_CAST ( handler_ ) ((QStateHandler)(handler_))

Perform cast to QStateHandler.

Description: This macro encapsulates the cast of a specific state handler function pointer to QStateHandler, which violates MISRA-C 2004 rule 11.4(advisory). This macro helps to localize this deviation.

Usage: void Calc_ctor(Calc * const me) {
/* superclass' ctor */
QHsm_ctor(&me->super, Q_STATE_CAST(&Calc_initial));
me->operand1 = 0.0;
me->operand2 = 0.0;
me->len = 0U;
me->opKey = 0U;
}

Definition at line 224 of file qep.h.

◆ Q_ACTION_CAST

#define Q_ACTION_CAST ( action_ ) ((QActionHandler)(action_))

Perform cast to QActionHandler.

Description: This macro encapsulates the cast of a specific action handler function pointer to QActionHandler, which violates MISRA-C 2004 rule 11.4(adv). This macro helps to localize this deviation.

Definition at line 233 of file qep.h.

◆ QHSM_INIT

#define QHSM_INIT	(	me_,
		e_
	)

Value:

do {        \
    Q_ASSERT((me_)->vptr);             \
    (*(me_)->vptr->init)((me_), (e_)); \
} while (0)

Parameters

[in,out]	me_	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	e_	constant pointer the QEvt or a class derived from QEvt (see Object Orientation)

Note: Must be called only ONCE after the SM "constructor".

Usage: The following example illustrates how to initialize a SM, and dispatch events to it:
#include "qpc.h" /* QP/C public interface */
#include "calc.h" /* Calc derived from QHsm */
Q_DEFINE_THIS_FILE
static Calc l_calc; /* an instance of Calc SM */
int main() {
Calc_ctor(&l_calc); /* Calc "constructor" invokes QHsm_ctor() */
QMSM_INIT(&l_calc.super, (QEvt *)0); /* trigger initial transition */
for (;;) { /* event loop */
QEvt e;
. . .
/* wait for the next event and assign it to the event object e */
. . .
QMSM_DISPATCH(&l_calc.super, &e); /* dispatch e */
}
return 0;
}

Typedef Documentation

◆ char_t

typedef char char_t

typedef for character strings.

Description: This typedef specifies character type for exclusive use in character strings. Use of this type, rather than plain 'char', is in compliance with the MISRA-C 2004 Rules 6.1(req), 6.3(adv).

Definition at line 70 of file qep.h.

◆ int_t

typedef int int_t

typedef for line numbers in assertions and return from QF_run()

Definition at line 73 of file qep.h.

◆ enum_t

typedef int enum_t

typedef for enumerations used for event signals

Definition at line 76 of file qep.h.

◆ float32_t

typedef float float32_t

IEEE 754 32-bit floating point number, MISRA-C 2004 rule 6.3(req)

Note: QP does not use floating-point types anywhere in the internal implementation, except in QS software tracing, where utilities for output of floating-point numbers are provided for application-level trace records.

Definition at line 85 of file qep.h.

◆ float64_t

typedef double float64_t

IEEE 754 64-bit floating point number, MISRA-C 2004 rule 6.3(req)

Note: QP does not use floating-point types anywhere in the internal implementation, except in QS software tracing, where utilities for output of floating-point numbers are provided for application-level trace records.

Definition at line 94 of file qep.h.

◆ QSignal

typedef uint16_t QSignal

QSignal represents the signal of an event.

Description: The relationship between an event and a signal is as follows. A signal in UML is the specification of an asynchronous stimulus that triggers reactions, and as such is an essential part of an event. (The signal conveys the type of the occurrence-what happened?) However, an event can also contain additional quantitative information about the occurrence in form of event parameters.

Definition at line 130 of file qep.h.

◆ QState

typedef uint_fast8_t QState

typedef of the return type from a state/action-handler function.

Definition at line 206 of file qep.h.

◆ QStateHandler

typedef QState(* QStateHandler) (void *const me, QEvt const *const e)

Pointer to a state-handler function.

Definition at line 209 of file qep.h.

◆ QActionHandler

typedef QState(* QActionHandler) (void *const me)

Pointer to an action-handler function.

Definition at line 212 of file qep.h.

◆ QMsm

typedef QHsm QMsm

QM State Machine implementation strategy.

Description: QMsm (QM State Machine) provides a more efficient state machine implementation strategy than QHsm, but requires the use of the QM modeling tool, but are the fastest and need the least run-time support (the smallest event-processor taking up the least code space).

Note: QMsm is not intended to be instantiated directly, but rather serves as the base structure for derivation of state machines in the application code.

Usage: The following example illustrates how to derive a state machine structure from QMsm. Please note that the QMsm member 'super' is defined as the first member of the derived struct.
typedef struct {
QMsm super; /* inherits QMsm */
double operand1;
double operand2;
char display[DISP_WIDTH + 1];
uint8_t len;
uint8_t opKey;
} Calc;

Function Documentation

◆ QHsm_ctor()

void QHsm_ctor	(	QHsm *const	me,
		QStateHandler	initial
	)

Protected "constructor" of QHsm.

Description: Performs the first step of HSM initialization by assigning the initial pseudostate to the currently active state of the state machine.

Parameters

[in,out]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	initial	pointer to the top-most initial state-handler function in the derived state machine

Note: Must be called only by the constructors of the derived state machines.; Must be called only ONCE before QHSM_INIT().

Usage: The following example illustrates how to invoke QHsm_ctor() in the "constructor" of a derived state machine:
void Calc_ctor(Calc * const me) {
/* superclass' ctor */
QHsm_ctor(&me->super, Q_STATE_CAST(&Calc_initial));
me->operand1 = 0.0;
me->operand2 = 0.0;
me->len = 0U;
me->opKey = 0U;
}

Definition at line 127 of file qep_hsm.c.

◆ QHsm_init_()

void QHsm_init_	(	QHsm *const	me,
		QEvt const *const	e
	)

Implementation of the top-most initial transition in QHsm subclass.

Description: Executes the top-most initial transition in a HSM.

Parameters

[in,out]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	e	pointer to the initialization event (might be NULL)

Note: Must be called only ONCE after the QHsm_ctor().

Precondition: the virtual pointer must be initialized, the top-most initial transition must be initialized, and the initial transition must not be taken yet.

Definition at line 147 of file qep_hsm.c.

◆ QHsm_dispatch_()

void QHsm_dispatch_	(	QHsm *const	me,
		QEvt const *const	e
	)

Implementation of dispatching events to a QHsm subclass.

Description: Dispatches an event for processing to a hierarchical state machine (HSM). The processing of an event represents one run-to-completion (RTC) step.

Parameters

[in,out]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	e	pointer to the event to be dispatched to the HSM

Note: This function should be called only via the virtual table (see QHSM_DISPATCH()) and should NOT be called directly in the applications.

Precondition: the current state must be initialized and the state configuration must be stable

Definition at line 252 of file qep_hsm.c.

◆ QHsm_childState_()

QStateHandler QHsm_childState_	(	QHsm *const	me,
		QStateHandler const	parent
	)

Helper function to obtain the current active child state of a parent.

Description: Finds the child state of the given parent, such that this child state is an ancestor of the currently active state. The main purpose of this function is to support shallow history transitions in state machines derived from QHsm.

Parameters

[in]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	parent	pointer to the state-handler function

Returns: the child of a given parent state, which is an ancestor of the current active state. For the corner case when the currently active state is the given parent state, function returns the parent state.

Note: this function is designed to be called during state transitions, so it does not necessarily start in a stable state configuration. However, the function establishes stable state configuration upon exit.

See also: QHsm_childState()

Postcondition: the child must be found

Definition at line 607 of file qep_hsm.c.

◆ QHsm_isIn()

bool QHsm_isIn	(	QHsm *const	me,
		QStateHandler const	state
	)

Tests if a given state is part of the current active state configuration in QHsm subclasses.

Description: Tests if a state machine derived from QHsm is-in a given state.

Note: For a HSM, to "be in a state" means also to be in a superstate of of the state.

Parameters

[in]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	state	pointer to the state-handler function to be tested

Returns: 'true' if the HSM "is in" the state and 'false' otherwise

Precondition: the state configuration must be stable

Definition at line 562 of file qep_hsm.c.

◆ QHsm_top()

QState QHsm_top	(	void const *const	me,
		QEvt const *const	e
	)

the top-state.

Description: QHsm_top() is the ultimate root of state hierarchy in all HSMs derived from QHsm.

Parameters

[in]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	e	pointer to the event to be dispatched to the FSM

Returns: Always returns Q_RET_IGNORED, which means that the top state ignores all events.

Note: The parameters to this state handler are not used. They are provided for conformance with the state-handler function signature QStateHandler.

Definition at line 233 of file qep_hsm.c.

◆ QMsm_ctor()

void QMsm_ctor	(	QMsm *const	me,
		QStateHandler	initial
	)

Protected "constructor" of QMsm.

Description: Performs the first step of QMsm initialization by assigning the initial pseudostate to the currently active state of the state machine.

Parameters

[in,out]	me	pointer (see Object Orientation)
[in]	initial	the top-most initial transition for the MSM.

Note: Must be called only ONCE before QHSM_INIT().; QMsm inherits QHsm, so by the Object Orientation convention it should call the constructor of the superclass, i.e., QHsm_ctor(). However, this would pull in the QHsmVtbl, which in turn will pull in the code for QHsm_init_() and QHsm_dispatch_() implemetations. To avoid this code size penalty, in case QHsm is not used in a given project, the QMsm_ctor() performs direct intitialization of the Vtbl, which avoids pulling in the code for QMsm.

Usage: The following example illustrates how to invoke QMsm_ctor() in the "constructor" of a derived state machine:
void Calc_ctor(Calc * const me) {
/* superclass' ctor */
QMsm_ctor(&me->super, Q_STATE_CAST(&Calc_initial));
me->operand1 = 0.0;
me->operand2 = 0.0;
me->len = 0U;
me->opKey = 0U;
}
