Feature: Generic TriceID

[KammutierSpule]

Would be possible to be able to generate TriceIDs such way that, eg:

my_error_report_function(stuff, triceID) { // do my stuff Trice(triceID); // send triceID }

my_error_report_function(my_stuff, TRiceID(0));// <- this will generate a trice id on "trice insert"

?

Would you please elaborate the use case more in detail? Currently I do not understand the question.

When writing Trice( "err:An error\n" ); you can do trice insert -IDRange err:10,99 -IDRange msg:100,999 -IDmethod upward ... for example and control the ID generation.

My idea is to take advantage of the "ID system of try" but instead of the ID be used "inline", it will be passed to another function, that will later call some Trice method to send it.

Looking to the til type, I see there is associated an ID to a "Type"... so not sure if this will be possible.

Here is a tentative to better illustrate:

void my_error_handler(triceID) {
taskID = GetOSCurrentTask();
TRice32("Application error, while in task 0x%04X, ", taskID);
TRice0("Message: ");
TRiceN(triceID); // ?
}

my_error_handler( Generates Here a Trice ID );

I am still not getting the point. What would be the real advantage compared to the current state? Please describe it more verbose. For example your 3 Trice messages are overkill. That all will fit into one singe Trice message. You could also write: TRice32( iD(66), "Application error, while in task 0x%04X, Message: %d", taskID, anyID); and forcing ID 66 for this Trice message. The Trice tool will simply add it to til.json silently, if not used already elsewhere.

Please do not forget, that there is a location information file li.json as well.

BTW: TRiceN is for not-null-trerminated strings: triceN("sig:name:%s\n", ptr, len );, where ptr points to a character sequence, for example in FLASH memory and len is the count of characters to display.

That was a tentative to get a example case, I don't have a real use case for now... I will try it latter.

but the main thing, correct me if I'm wrong or other cases, is that the generated trice IDs were meant to be used on/by the same ("Trice") line they are generated.

Let's close this for now. Once you have a real use case, please re-open.
