I have been trying to get FreeRTOS 5.0 running on a dvk90can1 evaluation board using WinAVR's c++ compiler.

I'm using the port from Dr. Klaus Schaefer and trying out the his Can Driver and the following example.
http://kschaefer.eit.h-da.de/ATMEL/CAN/index.html

I have changed a few type casts in order to compile using avr-g++. But as you can see out of the below listing. The linking fails in the end. Some references to Queue.c break.

If I compile the same code using avr-gcc the linking is okay and the example runs fine on the board.

If I loose the dependences to queue.c in the example (only use the task system of FreeRTOS) the g++ compiled code runs fine.

I'm new to FreeRTOS and WinAVR. I have been looking into the FreeRTOS code and I can't figure out why these references to queue.c break when compiling with g++. The compiler don't report any errors before the linking is done.

Can someone please help me?

This could be to do with the data hiding. Queue.c defines xQueueHandle as a pointer to a struct. Queue.h defines xQueueHandle as a pointer to void. If you make them both the same thing it will probably link. To do this you could move the queue data structure definition from queue.c to queue.h.

Thanks a lot. That solved it.

I have spent hours trying to figure this out.
