[fixed] allow external use of createLimitReadFile

[loki1985]

first: thanks for the new filesystem API, i just finished adding a custom binary format, and it was piece of cake...

but: for great simplicity i wanted to use createLimitReadFile(), but this is not available through the API (or at least not linkable).

i worked around this by integrating a copy of the CLimitReadFile class into my project, but this is pretty dirty.

please make createLimitReadFile() somehow accessable for people who want to extend irrlicht without changing/extending the actual source of it.

this has been marked as fixed in the tracker, thanks for this. but after recompiling the library, it still does not work for me.

gcc still complains:

Code: Select all

CIMGArchiveLoader.cpp:164: undefined reference to `irr::io::createLimitReadFile(irr::core::string<char, irr::core::irrAllocator<char> > const&, irr::io::IReadFile*, long, long)'
CTXDArchiveLoader.o: In function `ZN10CTXDReader8openFileEi':
CTXDArchiveLoader.cpp:102: undefined reference to `irr::io::createLimitReadFile(irr::core::string<char, irr::core::irrAllocator<char> > const&, irr::io::IReadFile*, long, long)'

am i doing something wrong?

Did you use SVN/trunk and did you recompile everything? In my version the method looks ok.

[loki1985]

i made a fresh checkout, and a clean recompile.

i will take a more detailed look when i find some time, but i think i have done it all correctly.

I think you should look at the actual change. The function was added in this particular change is a virtual method of the IFileSystem interface. Your code clearly expects it to be a free function. I don't know where you're getting the declaration from.

thanks, my mistake. since the original free function still existed everything compiled, that made me think it was the correct way.
