[RESOLVED] Device functions causing a crash

[Some Moron]

I've done some searches for this, but I haven't found anyone with the exact problem I'm having. When trying to call createAndOpenFile, the program crashes every time. The debug outputs I've added (printing 2 and 3 to standard output) confirm that this is the line causing the problem, as I get a 2 and not a 3.

Code: Select all

        irr::io::IFileSystem* fs = device->getFileSystem();
        irr::core::stringw fileName = mapFolder + name;
        std::cout << "2";
        irr::io::IReadFile* wf = fs->createAndOpenFile(fileName);
        std::cout << "3";

The only thing I can think of is that a stringw is not a valid input for createAndOpenFile, but it does not give me any compiler errors or warnings to confirm this.

On a related note, can anyone confirm if "createAndOpenFile" actually does create a file if it doesn't exist? If so, how do I open a file without trying to create it?

Can you do a check on the FS pointer?
like this:

Code: Select all

irr::io::IFileSystem* fs = device->getFileSystem();
irr::core::stringw fileName = mapFolder + name;
 
if (fs)
    irr::io::IReadFile* wf = fs->createAndOpenFile(fileName);
  else
    std::cout << "Invalid pointer";

If you can, check in your compiler debugger to pinpoint the problem. Perhaps it's your device pointer or the filesystem pointer.

Well, now I'm feeling mildly stupid. Thanks for the help anyway, but it turned out that I was using the wrong compiled DLL - the VS one, when the project was being built with Code::Blocks. Compiling Irr and using the new DLL makes everything work smoothly.
