Hello,
I am trying to work with SDL and one of their functions takes a
char * file as a function a parameter. However, i'm running into
trouble how to actually set this variable in my constructor.
I am getting a problem where if I use a pointer to a char and set
it as "test.bmp" I get an error stating "cannot implicitly
convert expression (file) of type string to char*. After that I
decided to try to set file to 'test.bmp' instead, and in that
case I get: "Unterminated character constant" . Although I am
familiar with what this error is referring to, I do not know how
to add a terminator in D.
This is the function that I intend to use the filename in:
**Note the function LoadBMP is the one that REQUIRES a pointer to
a char
--------------------------------------
SDL_Surface * Load(char * file)
{
SDL_Surface * Temp = null;
if((Temp = SDL_LoadBMP(file)) == null)
return null;
Surface = SDLDisplayFormat(Temp);
SDL_FreeSurface(Temp);
return Surface;
}
----------------------------------------
This is the constructor that is giving me the error:
----------------------------------------------------------
char * file;
this()
{
this.filename = "test.bmp";
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
