Subject: Bug: Incompatible return type in org-babel C when using a table of doubles with a header as a variable [9.4.4 (release_9.4.4-272-ga9f38b @ /home/richard/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2021 19:40:11 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <MXIew5H--3-2@tutamail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 8166 bytes --]

When a table of floating pointer numbers that contains a header row is
set as a variable to a C source block, the generated header file
contains an invalid return type, causing the program to not compile.

For example, if I have a table that looks like

#+NAME: tbl-doubles-org-bug-report
#+begin_src C :includes <stdio.h> :results table :colnames '("i" "val")
  for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    printf("%f %f\n", (double)i, i * 2.0);
  }
#+end_src

#+RESULTS: tbl-doubles-org-bug-report
|   i | val |
|-----+-----|
| 0.0 | 0.0 |
| 1.0 | 2.0 |
| 2.0 | 4.0 |
| 3.0 | 6.0 |
| 4.0 | 8.0 |

And then attempt to include that table as a variable called data

#+begin_src C :includes stdio.h :var data=tbl-doubles-org-bug-report
  printf("No errors!");
#+end_src

Nothing is printed, and *Org-Babel Error Output* will display

/tmp/babel-NQHi51/C-src-lsA892.c: In function ‘data_h’:
/tmp/babel-NQHi51/C-src-lsA892.c:24:65: error: incompatible types when returning type ‘double’ but ‘const char *’ was expected
   24 | const char* data_h (int row, const char* col) { return data[row][get_column_num(2,data_header,col)]; }
      |                                                        ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/bin/bash: line 1: /tmp/babel-NQHi51/C-bin-90Zk27: Permission denied

If we look in the /tmp file mentioned, it's easy to see the
inconsistency.

double data[5][2] = {
{0.000000,0.000000},
{1.000000,2.000000},
{2.000000,4.000000},
{3.000000,6.000000},
{4.000000,8.000000}
};
const int data_rows = 5;
const int data_cols = 2;
int get_column_num (int nbcols, const char** header, const char* column)
{
  int c;
  for (c=0; c<nbcols; c++)
    if (strcmp(header[c],column)==0)
      return c;
  return -1;
}
const char* data_header[2] = {"i","val"};
const char* data_h (int row, const char* col) { return
data[row][get_column_num(2,data_header,col)]; }
int main() {
printf("No errors!");
return 0;
}

data_h() should not return a const char*, but a double.

I've also tested this with $ emacs -Q and the issue is still present. It
does not occur if the table contains integer values instead of floats
or if a header row is omitted. Seeing as how the header row is processed
differently from the data, I don't think the presence of a header row is
meant to cause this error.
