Irrlicht 1.4 beta : cannot instantiate abstract class

[eviral]

Hello,

I try to recompile my project with Irrlicht 1.4 beta but i have new compilation errors i never had with irrlicht 1.3 :

newt6.cpp(11) : error C2259: 'CMainMenu' : cannot instantiate abstract class
due to following members:
'bool irr::IEventReceiver::OnEvent(const irr::SEvent &)' : is abstract
d:\program files\irrlicht-1.4beta\include\IEventReceiver.h(256) : see declaration of 'irr::IEventReceiver::OnEvent'


Something has changed with OnEvent but how to use now ?

Thanks

You change the parameter to 'const SEvent&', then the signatures match and the compiler will be happy.

same problem, but where do you change it at?

same problem, but where do you change it at?

In your code.

As hybrid wrote, the event is now a constant reference.
So you have to write

Code: Select all

bool OnEvent(const irr::SEvent& event)
{
}

instead of

Code: Select all

bool OnEvent(irr::SEvent event)
{
}

Well, I've been trying to port iamarcamera to irrlicht 1.4b, and... I fixed everything I could.

This error was left:

Code: Select all

icamerascenenode.h:
virtual const SViewFrustum* getViewFrustum() const = 0;

And here's how I declared it on the camera class:

Code: Select all

virtual const SViewFrustum* getViewFrustrum() const;

Code: Select all

error C2259: 'irr::scene::IamarCamera' : cannot instantiate abstract class
        due to following members:
        'const irr::scene::SViewFrustum *irr::scene::ICameraSceneNode::getViewFrustum(void) const' : is abstract
        d:\irrlicht-1.4beta\include\icamerascenenode.h(112) : see declaration of 'irr::scene::ICameraSceneNode::getViewFrustum'

Thanks in advance.

It's "Frustum" not "Frustrum".

[lawck]

Right.
I feel stupid now for missing that. ><

Thanks!

Hehe - I only did see it that fast because you're not the first one who made that typo ;-)
