TC234 Memory Allocation

[leonng]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the free() function, but it causes __asm__ volatile ("debug" : : : "memory"); .

There will not be error, when I put malloc() and free() into same function, like:

However, when it sperate to two functions, it will have error, like:

May I know why? Thank you!

Best Regards,

Leon

     free(receivePtr);

    IfxCpu_enableInterrupts();

    IfxScuWdt_disableCpuWatchdog(IfxScuWdt_getCpuWatchdogPassword());
    IfxScuWdt_disableSafetyWatchdog(IfxScuWdt_getSafetyWatchdogPassword());
    
    /* Wait for CPU sync event */
    IfxCpu_emitEvent(&g_cpuSyncEvent);
    IfxCpu_waitEvent(&g_cpuSyncEvent, 1);
    


    readData_Long(0,10);
    get_readData_Long(data,10);


    while(1)
    {
    }
}

Please refer to above code, there is no error found.

If you access the *ptr after free(), it may lead error.
