Well, one of the other things that I am confused about is
declaring the method. Does the name of the method in C have to be
the same as the "description" written in the REALmethodDefinition?
(all examples I have seen have shown the same name). I tried
naming my C methods "Constructor" but I had some sort of compile
error.
A REALmethodDefinition maps a C-function to a RB method
declaration. So if you define a method map like
{ (REALproc) MyCMethodConstructor, REALnoImplementation,
"Constructor(p As Picture)" },
Does each function (such as "MyCMethodConstructor") need to have a
unique name?
Then the user can only instantiate your class with: myClass As
yourClass = new yourClass(p). By defining a single constructor in
the REALmethodDefinition you also automatically disable the default
ability to call "new yourClass()".
OK, that might be the reason why I was crashing... I also had a
default constructor/initializer defined.
I currently am trying to have three constructors (though I would
rather have two with a default value). The problem is that the
constructor that I really want to use takes a Picture as a
parameter and all attempts to use this constructor have crashed.
Then you do something wrong elsewhere.
Might be the reason above.
It is like an RB experience... And just forget about the
"Initializer" and "Finalizer" declarations. Those are never exposed
to the user of your plugin. They are only meant if you need to do
things under the hood. For example you need to allocate memory,
respectively deallocate memory. If it is a simple struct you are
dealing with, then the initializer and/or finalizer can be nil.
Well I am allocating/deallocating memory, but I also use the
"Initializer" to set all of the struct values to their default values.
