Hi all,

I want to create an array of nodes in a class of my application.
Into the .h file of the class I have:

core::array<scene::ISceneNode*> arrayNodes;

and into the constructor into the .cpp file:

Code: Select all

this->arrayNodes = new core::array<scene::ISceneNode*>::array(10);

I get this compile error:

Code: Select all

1>h:\apli\src\apli.cpp(24) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier '{ctor}'

I have no {ctor} into my code. If I comment the line into the .h and into the .cpp the aplication run ok.

If I execute the application without initializing the array, the application breaks when it acced to the class.

How should it be created?

Thanks

I'll explain what's going wrong:

This is an array object, not a pointer to an array object.

this->arrayNodes = new core::array<scene::ISceneNode*>::array(10);

And this is trying to create 10 array objects (not an array of 10 objects) and assign a pointer to those objects to your array object, which is so wrong that it's almost right. In Bizarro World.

It looks like you just want to set the capacity of the array to 10. If so, then it's just:

Code: Select all

this->arrayNodes.set_used(10);

I guess {ctor} means constructor...

Shhh, here's a secret: the array in irrlicht is actually a vector.

Code: Select all

core::array<scene::ISceneNode*> arrayNodes;

arrayNodes.push_back(new ISeneNode("heh, use smgr"));
arrayNodes.push_back(new ISeneNode("lol dosn't rlly wrk"));

std::cout <<"Will print out 2 if correct : "<< arrayNodes.size() << "\n";

Yes it is.

Thanks for the help, it works.

Now I have my array
