Warning Message in ble_app_uart building like wchar_t length mismatch

[prasath]

Hi After building ble_app_uart in Nordic SDK with board pca10028 it gives some warning like

/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.9.3/../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: warning: /usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.9.3/../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/armv6-m/libc_nano.a(lib_a-nano-msizer.o) uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail

Is this warning the only kind of warning that you get?

The warning you have posted has to do with two possible definitions of wchar_t (16 bit or 32 bit), and the potential for errors when linking libraries that are compiled with differing wchar_t definitions. As far as I know the wchar_t type is not used by neither SoftDevice nor SDK, and ignoring any wchar_t related warning should be safe.

However, it may be a good idea to figure out why you get this inconsistency in the first place. What OS and version do you use, and what version of SDK and SoftDevice?

Try to remove "nano.specs" the LDFLAGS in makefile

//LDFLAGS += --specs=nano.specs -lc -lnosys
LDFLAGS += -lc -lnosys
