About transfer pointer into function (C Language)
In the main() function of our program, we often need to use some user defined functions to do our calculating work.
For a user_function, we may transfer into several int variable, and return a variable.
or, we may need modify a data array by calling a function. And return void.
or, we may need modify a data array in a struct, and call a function to modify that data array. We need to transfer into the function the pointer of that struct containing our data
array.
1. Transfer into function the pointer of An data array:
Take the example of my project: "Audio_Goertzel_Algorithm"
【声数函，方括号；调函数，没括号】
//--------Some delaration in main() function: ---------
float data_Re[1024]; // Array of Real part of data
float data_Im[1024]; // Array of image part of data
float abs_x[1024];
int length_kArr = 8; // k is array of number of X
int kArr[length_kArr];
int num_data = 1024; // Length of array x[i]
//--- Prepare the value of k[] ----
kArr[0] = 87; // kArr = [0:1:15] ; length_kArr = 16
kArr[1] = 96; // 770*num_data/fs
...
kArr[7] = 204;
//--------Process the data by calling the usr_function: goertzel() ----
goertzel(data_Re, data_Im, num_data, kArr, length_kArr);
///////////// The difinition of usr_function in the file "user.c"///////////
void goertzel(float addr_Re[], float addr_Im[], int N, int kArr[], int length_kArr)
{
// Input the data for processing: // Here we can use "static float array[...]" as global var!
float X_Re[1024];
float X_Im[1024];
memcpy( x_Re, addr_Re, 4*N); //float occupy 4 bytes per element.
// memcpy(void *dest, void *src, unsigned int count);
memcpy( x_Im, addr_Im, 4*N); //float occupy 4 bytes per element.
// you can also process addr_Re instead of x_Re,
// so that you don't need to memcpy like above.
//----Begin of processing ----------
...
//---- End of data processing ---
// Output the data processing result:
memcpy(addr_Re, X_Re, 4*1024) ; // address_Re store the adr of Re Array of process result
memcpy(addr_Im, X_Re, 4*1024) ; // address_Im store the adr of Im Array of process result
return;

Section 2. Transfer the pointer of Struct of a data array
into function:
Take the example of my project: "Piano_demo"
in file "common_data.h", the struct is defined here:
【声结构，方括号；声调函，没括号】
struct data_1024res16 {
int samplingrate;
int datares;
int nsamples;
int nchannels;
int16_t data[1024]; // Here is the data array that we're going to modify.
};
//--------Some delaration in main() function: ---------
#include"common_data.h"
struct data_1024res16 MyStructArr_y[1000]; // Declared 1000 StructArray, each StructArrady contains:
//int samplingrate;int datares;int nsamples;int nchannels;int16_t data[1024];
//int16_t data[1024] is 1024 16bit data buffer.
//--------Process the data by calling the usr_function: sound_x() ----
// modify the data in MyStructArr_y.data by calling this function
sound_x(MyStructArr_y, fs, 494);
///////////// The difinition of usr_function in the file "user.c"///////////
void sound_x(struct data_1024res16* MyStructArr_y, int fs, int F)
{
short data1[1000]; // use 1000 >> 20 for sufficient. only 20 data1[] are used.
//----Begin of processing ----------
...
//---- End of data processing ---
// Output the data processing result:
for(i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
memcpy(MyStructArr_y[i].data, data1, 2*1000);
}
return;
}
