f()宏可用于将全局变量存储在程序内存(闪存)中,而不是动态工作内存中,因此还有更多的可用内存。
然而,我在ESP8266图书馆看到了这个杂乱无章的例子。它工作得很好,但是我对函数中的f()宏的用法有一些疑问。在函数内部使用它有用吗?
示例代码:
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>
/*
This example serves a "hello world" on a WLAN and a SoftAP at the same time.
The SoftAP allow you to configure WLAN parameters at run time. They are not setup in the sketch but saved on EEPROM.
Connect your computer or cell phone to wifi network ESP_ap with password 12345678. A popup may appear and it allow you to go to WLAN config. If it does not then navigate to http://192.168.4.1/wifi and config it there.
Then wait for the module to connect to your wifi and take note of the WLAN IP it got. Then you can disconnect from ESP_ap and return to your regular WLAN.
Now the ESP8266 is in your network. You can reach it through http://192.168.x.x/ (the IP you took note of) or maybe at http://esp8266.local too.
This is a captive portal because through the softAP it will redirect any http request to http://192.168.4.1/

函数存储在程序空间(程序内存)中,因此该函数中的字符串也被编译到程序空间中。那么,当通常已经从程序空间加载字符串时,为什么要使用f()宏强制将字符串存储在程序空间中呢?我认为这是不必要的开销,或者这样做有什么好处?
例如,在源代码中,您可以在函数中找到许多这样的赋值:
void handleWifi()
{
String Page;
Page+= F("<html><head></head><body>"
"<h1>Wifi config</h1>");
.........
.........
}
这里将发生的是字符串从程序空间加载到动态内存中(作为变量“page”)。那么这里真正的交易是什么呢?不过,我认为C++编译器在做一个简单的赋值时会做得更好(优化)。
我是对的还是错的?
