Previously working code crashes with 1.5

[Listing]

This is the code that worked fine with Irrlicht 1.4 (tracked down to the bug)

Code: Select all

1:			HWND DrawBox = GetDlgItem(hWin, RC_DRAW);

			// create irrlicht device in the draw window
			
2:			SIrrlichtCreationParameters param;
3:			param.WindowId = reinterpret_cast<void*>(DrawBox); 
4:			param.DriverType = video::EDT_OPENGL;

5:			GlobalDevice = createDeviceEx(param);
6:			VideoDriver = GlobalDevice->getVideoDriver();
7:			if(GlobalDevice->isWindowActive() && GlobalDevice->run())
8:			{
9:			   VideoDriver->beginScene(true, true,0);
10:			  VideoDriver->endScene();	
11:		  }

I also tried it also with EDT_DIRECT3D9 and it is also non-working.
The crash occurs at instruction 9 or 10 with the error:

Run-Time Check Failure #0
The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call.
This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.

The same code was fully working with 1.4

Should I downgrade? Thank you a lot

That error usually occurs when the Irrlicht headers/lib don't match the dll. Either you're using the 1.4 headers and Irrlicht.lib bwith a 1.5 Irrlicht.dll, or vice versa.

I feel stupid now, after replacing the dll with the new one it works like a charm.

Thanks for the fast and competent help and keep up the good work

No problem, it's hit all of us on Windows as some point. I've added it to the FAQ.
