So why are you wondering then that you need to have the DirectX SDK installed?

C# is already on the way down; Microsoft itself is backing down from it, back to C++. Expect worse support as time goes on. Ah so because they are dropping support for .NET you have to use .NET to write apps for WP7 ? It tends to be their cycle; change everything every few years to force everyone t...

Well Chrome is suggesting me some feeds. They seem to only be visible in the source: <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Feed - Irrlicht Engine" href="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/feed.php" /> <link rel="alternate" type=...

You don't need the source to develop the application but to debug the engine. If you use the source you can easily step into the engine to see exactly where and why it crashes...

The first two warnings are coming from this macro: I don't see any sense in the last statement (m;) and so does your compiler

That's the reason why macro functions are evil

No the documentation says the object should not be 'dropped'. It doesn't say you should not call drop() on it.

Well I understand 'dropped' as calling drop on it when there are no more references. Otherwise it's just using the reference counting mechanism as it was intended to be used.

As i said previously: this statement is only true until you call grab. If you actually called grab you have to call drop (despite the documentation saying the opposite) to prevent memory leaks.

?

Simple put all the reference counting stuff is a simple new/delete. There is no magic. It simply ensures that no object is deleted that is still needed somewhere.

You should not call drop if you did not call grab before. If you did you have to call drop. Read through the documentation of IReferenceCounted to clarify this.

The documentation in Irrlicht states that you should not call drop() (and grab()) for these calls of the API. No. It doesn't say you should not grab() these objects. Actually you are even supposed to drop() and object if you did a grab() by yourself. The reason why there are things that should be d...
