Platformio-core: mbed: cstddef: No such file or directory

Created on 7 Oct 2015  ·  13Comments  ·  Source: platformio/platformio-core

Solution

Please change file extension from *.c to .cpp.

I am trying to build a very simple piece of code for mbed. My code starts with #include "mbed.h" which includes platform.h. When running platformio run I get the following error:

.pioenvs/nucleo_l053r8/FrameworkMbedInc-250686161/platform.h:25:19: fatal error: cstddef: No such file or directory

#include <cstddef>
^
compilation terminated

I'm on ubuntu trusty (14.04), I read forum posts here and there that say I should upgrade to arm-none-eabi-gcc version 4.9.3, but this doesn't solve the problem.
I removed platformio entirely, reinstalled it with pip in a virtualenv, but no luck.

I eventually fixed the issue by adding

build_flags = -I/home/laurent/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/arm-none-eabi/include/c++/4.8.3/ -I/home/laurent/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/arm-none-eabi/include/c++/4.8.3/arm-none-eabi/

to my platformio.ini, but I don't feel like it's the right solution :)

Did I miss a step in the installation, or is this a bug? (maybe not with platformio...)

mbed is c++-based framework. You should use *.cpp extension.

@valeros is this a bug with toolchain?

Hi @LaurentS !
Could you provide your project, please?

My code is a single file, copied from mbed Hello World at https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/mbed-SDK:

#include "mbed.h"
DigitalOut myled(LED1);

int main() {
    while(1) {
        myled = 1;
        wait(0.2);
        myled = 0;
        wait(0.2);
    }
}

It is compiled in a virtual env installed with:

$ mkvirtualenv pio_venv
$ pip install platformio
$ platformio init -b nucleo_l152re
$ platformio run

I actually fixed the problem by renaming src/main.c to src/main.cpp. If this is expected behaviour, please accept my apologies for the waste of time.

versions just in case:

$ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) 4.9.3 20150529 (release) [ARM/embedded-4_9-branch revision 227977]

Hy, i got the same problem, i used this tutorial https://developer.mbed.org/users/noritsuna/notebook/mbed-os-on-an-emulatorqemu/
I have 4.9.3 arm-none-eabi-gcc and when i try to '$yotta build' then crash the building.

@polaroi8d please share here the code which allows us to reproduce this issue. Thanks.

ivankravets picture ivankravets on 19 Jan 2016

@ivankravets sorry for not respoding. Meanwhile i fixed the problem... I downloaded a new toolchain from https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+download and worked with this. ( After this, came up an other problem, the build directory hitched with the building process... fix: delet the building directory )

Why you don't use built-in PlatformIO toolchain?

I am having the same problem in Debian Testing with the simple code above and the plugin for Atom.

crespum picture crespum on 16 Feb 2016

@crespum Please take a look at official PlatformIO IDE for Atom package https://atom.io/packages/platformio-ide

ivankravets picture ivankravets on 16 Feb 2016

@ivankravets I found your samples and the only difference is that I was using main.c and you use main.cpp. Saving it as a C++ file solved this problem.

@crespum I've added comment about it above https://github.com/platformio/platformio/issues/301#issue-110306963

Also i tried like @laurentS way using build_flags option, but still the error exist.

Here is the platformio.ini

[env:bluepill_f103c8]
platform = ststm32
framework = mbed
board = bluepill_f103c8

lib_deps = FATFileSystem
build_flags = -I C:\Users\fmukhtarif.platformio\packages\toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi\arm-none-eabi\includec++\7.2.1

and the code:

#include "mbed.h"
#include "SDFileSystem.h"

SDFileSystem sd(PA_5, PA_6, PA_7, PA_8, "sd"); // the pinout on the mbed Cool Components workshop board
Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx

int main() {
    pc.printf("Hello World!\n\r");
    while(1) {
        pc.putc(pc.getc() + 1); // echo input back to terminal
    }
}
