Same issue here. Any ideas anyone?

If you found a solution for this warning please let me know because I get the same Warning in my code. It was working fine one moment and then it stopped working.
Thanks in advance.

I cannot figure out why I get this error. A few moments ago it was working. Maybe an mbed update caused this?

I have the same problem. Following this thread

Hi,
I had the exact same problem compiling a program for the NUCLEO-F767ZI board.
It was caused by a declaration of an array too big to fit in the RAM:
stack too big
/*****************************************************************************/ /* STACK */ /* max stack size in bytes */ #define Alysee_MaxStackSize 1000000 /* the stack itself */ Alysee_char Alysee_Stack[Alysee_MaxStackSize];
since the RAM is 512K, the 1Mb stack was a bit optimistic :-)
Once the mbed lib updated and the size of that stack set to a more realistic 100k, it compiled OK. Yet, a more explicit error message would be nice.
So maybe this is usefull for some other people who have the problem: check the size of your code/data.

I also have this error when compiling for Nucleo STM32F030R8 target with OS2
5 years, 6 months ago.
happened to me when I tried to use a pinname to declare to different functions. Example : MyClass1 myvariable1(D2,D3); MyClass2 myvariable2(D2,D3);
5 years, 8 months ago.
Same error (Nucleo STM32F401re target) but not on every program so I copied and pasted source and header files into another program and it compiled.
Not an ideal situation or fix.
I might add that I now have the following error in the new program:
Warning: Incompatible redefinition of macro "DEVICE_ERROR_RED" in "extras/mbed/TARGET_NUCLEO_F401RE/TARGET_STM/TARGET_NUCLEO_F401RE/device.h", Line: 66, Col: 10 Resourse device.h
However, if I now compile the original program it now compiles with 0 warnings and 0 errors.

Same issue... I found the following forum thread: http://www.keil.com/forum/64102/warning-l6320w-ignoring-keep-command-cannot-find-argument/
But since I'm a beginner I don't know where to find this cppinit ... any clues?

Same problem here with Nucleo STM32L432KC. Mbed library updated, nothing changes...
Also in my case other programs using the same board are compiled without errors/warnings.

I had the same issue, my prototype was also not matching the function implementation.
<<code title=In my .h file>>void periodicCallback(EventQueue *queueBLE, uint16_t* data);<</code>>
<<code title=In my .c file>>void periodicCallback(EventQueue *queueBLE, uint16_t data);<</code>>

Same problem. A number of other programs compiling just fine. The one I really need to compile right now gets this error. Updating libraries does not help. Something is clearly wrong on the server side (what else is new)

I only get that Error when I try to use a function in Main thats in a different class.
- include "mbed.h"
- include "RECEIVERS_UART.h"
RECEIVERS_UART rc; Serial pc(SERIAL_TX, SERIAL_RX);
int main() {
pc.baud(115200);
rc.receivers_uart_init();
pc.printf("%c",rc.read_receiver_1()); } }
If i comment out "rc.receivers_uart_init();" , the program runs without errors.
Anyone have any clue what the issue could be?
Thanks in advance.
Just solved my case of this... like you, main() was calling into something defined in another file. The decl was in the *.h file. But the .c file was missing the actual instantiation - I had commented it out. So, my guess, the linker is finding the problem, but not reporting it properly. Not sure if this will help you, but check that "rc" is properly instantiated somewhere.
posted by 08 Apr 2019Sorry I don't fully understand what you mean by checking whether "rc" object is properly instantiated.
Can you please give me an example ?
Thanks
posted by 08 Apr 2019Sorry, your first line "RECEIVERS_UART rc;" - didnt notice earlier, but that is where "rc" is instantiated. I ran into this problem yet again, this time because I created a large array and blew available ram. Shrinking this array made the problem go away. So again, looks like linker issues not getting reported properly. Your example looks quite small so I'm not sure what to suggest. You do have a RECEIVERS_UART.c* in your project, I assume, and it defines the RECEIVERS_UART class methods?

In my case, I had a syntax error in a '.cpp' file. It seems L6320W is a generic error/warning.

I get the exact same error when compiling the second line of this code, the first line compiles just fine (using NUCLEO F746ZG):
Error line
_terminalMirror.start(terminalMirror); _serialCommand.start(serialCommand); // commenting out this line successfully compiles
both threads are setup in the same way. I can't understand why this particular line causes the error?

Using the LPC1768, I get this issue on some code if I create a "new project" and then add my code libraries. I don't seem to be able to revert to earlier mbed library versions to get rid of it anymore in a new project.
So far, the only way I have gotten rid of it was to use an old "import program" link from an old published program that brings in an older mbed library (and then don't update) and use that as a starting point to add code.
I found one of these errors and fixed it. There was an undefined Serial object. Moved the code to another older project (perhaps it is using the older compiler/linker?) and that one says "undefined object" in the error message as one would expect - unlike the confusing one in the current cloud compiler, "Cannot find argument 'os_cb_sections'". The undefined Serial object was in an include file's code. Wonder if perhaps some very helpful compiler/linker error messages are not showing up in the GUI?
Hey Jim, I have exactly the same problem. I'm trying to create a new version of an older program and when I include the libraries that I'm using in the older version into the new program this error message appears. When I clone the older one and change the code, no errors happen. If you figure out any other clue on how to solve this weird error, please share it with us. Regards Luciano

I just found out why this happens. Your prototype doesn't match your implementation. Specifically in terms of the const keyword.
prototype
int sum_array(const int input_array[]);
implementation
int sum_array(int input_array[])
I don't know why the compiler spits out the errors that it does, but I am reasonably confident that correcting the mismatch will allow the code to compile.

I experienced the same error, but I think mine had a different cause.
I wrote my code using the Nucleo F303K8 with the intention of transmitting data over Bluetooth using 2 sensors. The code worked fine with just the first sensor until I added the second sensor and the libraries that came with it. Turning the newly added code into comments didn't solve the problem, neither did changing most of it except for a simple integer print.
I had to make the following changes to solve it (mind you it worked before):
From
Serial bt(D1, D0); // TX, RX
To
Serial pc(D1, D0); // TX, RX
(and do the same for printf and baud commands)
My theory is part of the added library already included a Serial pc() assignment I wasn't aware of, so it didn't mix well. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Same problem: Post-compile Error that aborts the compiler, not a hint as to the cause:
Quote:
Error: Warning: L6320W: Ignoring --keep command. Cannot find argument 'os_cb_sections'.
Info: Unable to download. Fix the reported errors...
Doesn't anyone have a handle on this yet? What and where are 'os_cb_sections' ???

I get the same issue. In my case it occurs when I use a function which is correctly declared in a header file but which has no definition - usually a simple typo in the definition name. Previously (a few weeks ago) the compile process would give the name of the function it was missing and the module in which it was used; now it just display this generic L6320W error (probably from the linker) which doesn't help at all in finding the typo.

Had the same error compiling for the LPC1768, for me it came from the fact that I had declared the name of the function, but had forgotten to implement it. So the compiler must have been looking for the implementation and did not realize what to do with a missing function.

Hello guys, I have the same problem qith F41RE and QCM5883 library. any idea to solve int? thanks in advance Lorenzo

Hi everyone! I solved this problem.
I just ran over this same compiler error message while trying the examples of a MAXREFDES100 board (based on a max32620hsp). What I found was that the way the examples are implemented for this board are not compatible with the very latest versions of the peripheral libraries, but the warning L6320W came from the mbed library.
The way I solved it was returning the mbed library to an older version. For my case, I used a date prior to the date of the examples (November 27, 2017)
I'm just starting to develop code for mbed devices, so I'm not sure what new additions came with newer versions, or how to rewrite the code to comply with it, but for now, this works for me.
Good luck!

I'm not sure but I believe the compiler on Mbed is using ARM6 where it was using ARM5 prior to January 2019.
I and many more users have noticed issues since then.
Again I'm not sure but it appears to me that the 'warnings' have some impact on the compile process and backs out with these errors.
If you can get your program and libraries to give no warnings then its pretty much stable.
Now the problem.
Mbed libraries have too many warnings, zero warnings is the only tolerable condition.
Every Mbed update creates further errors and warnings in users libraries and program code.
I have almost completed a library over the past several months that is now infested with warnings since the last update. I can't keep winding back to an older version because there are issues that have been resolved in a subsequent update.
In general Mbed libraries prior to December 2018 are reasonably stable.
I do not know who is actually writing the Mbed libraries and I'm not a programmer, but from a business point of view I can tell you currently it is imperative that these warnings are rectified with the utmost urgency before this Mbed project collapses.
There is no way a user can have confidence with this situation, particularly from a commercial point which Mbed lends itself to.
I believe that Mbed will be a very good system, but what do we do in the mean time? We simply can't use it.
I'm having the same errors listed above on an existing pieceof code. It's in use in a commercial product, and was stable, until the client asked to add some features. The "updates" to mbed libraries make compiling the existing codebase a nightmare, before even adding the new features. You're absolutely correct, from a business perspective there's no stability and I have already started advising people not to use mbed for this very reason. I've had numerous issues over the years and rarely have the support forums been useful, well meaning yes, but productive no.

Hitting this problem with nRF51-DK with all the examples. Reverting to an earlier version of mBed fixed it. I bisected it, and Revision 169 (release 162 on the 22nd of June 2018) does NOT work, but the previous one - 168 (also release 162 (??) on the 24th of May 2018) DOES work.
I think they don't have a proper CI system. Surely it would pick up things like this?
I'm getting the same error. LPC1768, programming on the web application. The documentation for mbed.bld is also unable to load at all, even after multiple refreshes.
posted by Matthew Zilvetti 01 Apr 2019I'm getting the same error and , searching for answers, found this is not an isolated incident. In the nearly 2 months of history since this has been posted, I can't see a single conclusive answer, or comment, other than the templated "update your libraries". That's how we got in this situation in the first place. Need a real solution asap.
