Invalid Function pointer error ( Solved )

[Kiran C]

Hi,
    What does this macro do?
CPU_STRUCTURE_ALIGNMENT
I had two arrays declared with macro.
When I have only one such array declared everything works fine...
Bye,
Kiran

Hi,
    I  went through my code once again ..I found what causes the problem
..but could not solve it.
    I allocate memory for a data structure ,for this I use get buffer from
partition function.
    I have successfully created the partition...and I get RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL
when I get a buffer from that partition.
    I later changed this to a simple malloc.
    And it works with a malloc.
    I also had created parition of various sizes.But when did not create
them..that is I had only one partition for my timer data     structure,It
worked fine.
    While creating partitions I specify the start address as the address of
a Global  Array
    rtems_unsigned8 Partition[4096] CPU_STRUCTURE_ALIGNMENT;
    I have configured my system to these values
#define CONFIGURE_EXECUTIVE_RAM_SIZE (1024*512)
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SEMAPHORES 20
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS  20
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_QUEUES     10
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TIMERS              10
#define CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK  10486
#define CONFIGURE_INIT_TASK_STACK_SIZE (1024*1024)
I tried increasing the size of the global Partition array ..but no change.
What is the difference between using malloc and a partition?(one is dynamic
and the other is statically allocated)
rgds,
Kiran
