Remove malloc in pollserial #56

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Change the buffer from malloc to a static char array. This is to prevent timing 
and memory problems. It makes the serial communication more stable.

Can you go into more detail on how to change the malloc.

Instead of x = malloc(1234); you could do something like this:
static char x[1234];

so (rxbuffer.buffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(BUFFER_SIZE*sizeof(unsigned 
char));)
will become (static char rxbuffer.buffer[(BUFFER_SIZE*sizeof(unsigned char))];)

I did this 
"static char rxbuffer.buffer(BUFFER_SIZE*sizeof(unsigned char));"
and I'm getting this error 
"error: expected initializer before '.' token"
