Compile error

[William Maybaum]

Hi All,

 

I have upgraded to r8c from r8b, Now I get the following error on the malloc.

   Context    *context = (Context*)malloc(sizeof(Context))

I would appreciate ideas on correcting the problem.

Thanks,

Bill Maybaum

Hey Bill,

Besides the aspect that using malloc for an object is (in general) a very bad idea – I don't see any error message in your post, did you forget about it ?

The error is "Invalid arguments' when I place the cursor on the error the suggested fix it (void*).

Yes, but what's the actual error produced when you try to compile it?

I am attaching a screen shot of the output.

Oh, I see the confusion --- you're looking at the IDE rather than the
actual compilation log. The IDE is mangling the error messages, which is
why you're not seeing what's actually going on. You need to find what
the compiler is actually saying, which is probably going to be somewhere
in the Console tab.

I am attaching the console ouput. I scanned looking for "error" and found none.

 

Thanks,

That's because there weren't any --- it compiled and linked fine. (If
you look at the bottom of the log you can see it copying the compiled
.so into your package.)

So the real question is why your IDE is reporting an error when the
compilation itself isn't producing any. I'm afraid I don't build via an
IDE, so I can't help there. It's probably worth making sure that the
project is using the right NDK directory. It's also always useful to do
a complete clean and rebuild, just in case the IDE has gotten confused
(which happens a lot, and is one of the reasons why I don't build via an
IDE).

Thanks for the assistance. I will look into the IDE and see what I can determine as to the problem. I have been using the Motodev environment to simplify the development environment. If you have another approach I would be happy the hear it and give it a try.

 

Thanks,

It's Eclipse, which is...notorious for having issues like this, especially with C++.

Try "deleting" the error and see if it gets regenerated. I've had that fix issues before.

Though really if it's C++ you should just say "new Context".

Hi Tim,

 

I deleted the .metadata from the project then imported it again. It seems there was some artifacts to clean up when I made the change. I appreciate the assistance.
