[Solved] createXMLWriter = crash?

[lpersona]

whenever Irrlicht's XMLWriter is called to create a new file on my pc (openSUSE 11.3) with following lines...

Code: Select all

	IFileSystem* sys;
	IXMLWriter* xml_re = sys->createXMLWriter("config.xml");

it leads to following errors

../src/xmlwriter.cpp:18:36: error: ‘fopen’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:26:60: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:33:18: error: ‘fclose’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:40:17: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:63:17: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:77:20: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:89:17: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope
../src/xmlwriter.cpp:118:17: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope


which i initially traced back to a missing header in xmlWriter.cpp?

however, while including

Code: Select all

#include <cstdio>

does avoid these error messages, my program simply crashes at the very moment said .xml file is supposed to be created.


i'm sorry to ask but..why is createXMLWriter not working?
does anyone else have this problem?
is there a solution?

What kind of file is ../src/xmlWriter.cpp? Does not look like an Irrlicht one?! The Irrlicht XML writer is definitely working. Do you use a 64bit OS? There are some problems with files generated on those systems. Crashing when opening the file is not a known error, though. Sounds more like you have a broken compilation somehow.

Don't you need to refer to the file system in a similar fashion to this:

Code: Select all

// ... assuming device is a valid pointer.
 irr::io::IXMLWriter* xwriter = device->getFileSystem()->createXMLWriter( "file.xml" );

indeed. xmlwriter.cpp is a 3rd party xml parser i was playing around with earlier and forgot to remove it from my project.
it has no influence, though. pure irrlicht crashes as before. whereas Sudi's recommendation (3rd post) works perfectly.

32bit is how my system operates.


edit: i'll try this getFileSystem now...
edit: works

thanks a lot you 2 (and expecially Arcoroc for the final solution)
