How to Fix Error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'GPIO_PinState'

October 14, 2024

Resolve the 'invalid conversion from 'int' to 'GPIO_PinState'' error in C++ firmware development with our detailed step-by-step guide.

How to Fix Error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'GPIO_PinState'

 

Understanding the Error

  • The 'invalid conversion from 'int' to 'GPIO\_PinState'' error in C++ usually occurs when there is a type mismatch between an integer value and a type expected by your code, specifically when dealing with GPIO operations.
  • The `GPIO_PinState` is likely an enumeration or a typedef used in a hardware abstraction library (such as HAL for STM32). Typically, this enumeration has values corresponding to `GPIO_PIN_SET` (e.g., `1`) and `GPIO_PIN_RESET` (e.g., `0`).
  • Directly assigning an `int` to `GPIO_PinState` without a proper cast or conversion raises this error.

 

Initial Diagnosis

  • Identify the line of code causing the issue. Check if an integer is being used directly where a `GPIO_PinState` is expected.
  • Review your code to locate any operations where GPIO pins are being set, reset, or toggled, and ensure they are using correctly typed variables.
  • Ensure that any peripheral libraries or headers used are correctly included and are up-to-date to avoid any compatibility issues.

 

Correcting the Error

  • If `GPIO_PinState` is an enum (as it often is in STM32 HAL libraries), directly casting the integer to `GPIO_PinState` might resolve the error. For example:
  • 
      GPIO_PinState pinState = static_cast(intVar);
      
  • Alternatively, make sure that the variable or literal you are using is already defined in terms of `GPIO_PIN_SET` or `GPIO_PIN_RESET`. This approach eliminates the need for casting:
  • 
      GPIO_PinState pinState = (boolValue) ? GPIO_PIN_SET : GPIO_PIN\_RESET;
      
  • Consider using a simple function to convert integers to `GPIO_PinState`. This can centralize conversions, making code easier to maintain and understand:
  • 
      GPIO\_PinState intToPinState(int value) {
          return (value) ? GPIO_PIN_SET : GPIO_PIN_RESET;
      }
    
    // Usage
    GPIO\_PinState pinState = intToPinState(yourInt);
      

 

Verify the Fix

  • Compile your code again to verify that the error is resolved.
  • Test the functionality on your hardware to ensure that changes don't impact the actual behavior of GPIO pins.
  • If the error persists, consider reviewing the latest documentation for the libraries you are using to understand any updates or changes to the API.
