NEED HELP IN C

[krisrimat]

I have two files

Library/src/xxx_tim.c
--------------------------
u16 TIM_GetCounter(TIM_TypeDef* TIMx)
{
/* Check the parameters */
assert_param(IS_TIM_ALL_PERIPH(TIMx));

/* Get the Counter Register value */
return TIMx->CNT;
}


clock.c
---------
clock_time(void)
{
TIM_GetCounter(TIM2)

return -----
}

I want to return the to the TIM_GetCounter but i don't know how to return back to the first file where it specifies it please help

are these just snippets of code? they're small enough functions that you could just include them in the same file.

Ok, well if I understand what you're trying to do... you're talking about inheritance. Inheritance is used in object oriented programming (which C is not). I think I've found an article that may help you: on emmbedded.com if this doesn't help you, look into programming in C++ which is an object oriented language that is very close to C.

If I was wrong about the inheritance, look into structures in C. That may also be what you're striving for.
