Thanks for the suggestion. I tried below snippet 1 with the shortest pointer
name but 80 characters is exceeded. The declaration and initialisation
will have to be splitted. Will this be acceptable or am I doing it wrong
again?
Sorry for the trouble.
Snippet 1:
[ Snip ]
/* output the last scan */
for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
unsigned short *p = &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan];
if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, p, 1)) {
/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
goto underrun;
}
}
/* advance time of last scan */
[ Snip ]
Snippet 2:
[ Snip ]
/* output the last scan */
for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
unsigned short *pd;
pd = &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan];
if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, pd, 1)) {
/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
goto underrun;
}
}
[ Snip ]
Thks.
