Macro "F" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1

Help

Hi

I’m deploying a project to Artemis module, and I’m using the Arduino library option. While compiling using Arduino 1.8.15 and arm-none-eabi-gcc 8-2018-q4 I get this error. I’m building another TFLM-based project with Mbed studio without throughing this error in comparisons.h.

Error details:

I founded it reported here too: https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=55301

It seems the current work arround (not portable for sure) is to rename the template F to any onther name at decleration and usage in comparisons.h. I used FOO name instead.

I reported this to TFLM team too.

@yahyatawil Thanks for this information. I have the same problem. I will give this a try.

The second error after solving the F macro issue is a linking error of multiple definition of symbols as edge-impulse-sdk and Sparkfun Artemis Arduino core have both CMSIS folder.
edge-impulse-sdk/CMSIS and SparkFun/hardware/apollo3/2.1.1/cores/mbed-os/targets/TARGET_Ambiq_Micro/TARGET_Apollo3/sdk/CMSIS/.

I finally managed to compile it with Arduino IDE using Sparkfun Artemis core. I solved the duplication in symbols by removing the following line in platform.txt from SparkFun/hardware/apollo3/2.1.1/platform.txt ( platform.txt for each core have some settings for building steps). Comment out libs.extra and remove it from libs.all as well.

#libs.extra=-Wl,--whole-archive "{cores.path}/mbed-os/targets/TARGET_Ambiq_Micro    /TARGET_Apollo3/sdk/CMSIS/ARM/Lib/ARM/libarm_cortexM4lf_math.a" -Wl,--no-whole-archive
libs.all={libs.core} {libs.mbed} {libs.variant}

I don’t know who should solve this issue from his side (EI or Sparkfun), but hope this gives a workarround until it is officially solved.
