irrString.h issue

I have a problem:

I use borland turbo c++ 2006 and have successfully built my own .dll, but when I run the examples, I get question marks in the caption of the windows.

Now, I believe this problem is due to the fact that I had to modify irrString.h to be able to build my .dll.

Before the modifications I got two very interesting compiler errors:

Size of the type 'B' is unknown or zero

and

Internal code generator error

Anyone else had these problems when building with Borland's compiler?

Sounds like a problem with wchar_t. Maybe we need some extra preprocessor code for borland users in irrTypes.h?

In IrrTypes add something like this:

Code: Select all

//! Define for swprintf because this method does not match the ISO C standard
//! on Windows platforms, but it does on all other ones.
#ifndef __BCPLUSPLUS__    // add by etcaptor for BCB compatibility
#define   swprintf   _snwprintf
#endif

Since the Borland compiler should also enable the WINDOWS_API setting this define is already made by Irrlicht.

You guys made a great work for Borland compatibility. there is almost nothing to do. I made only several changes for myself. Thanks!
