Cannot compile examples from Cookbook using PickHandler class

[Rodrigo Dias]

Hi,

Some examples from the Cookbook (book by Rui Wang & Xuelei Qian) use this code snippet, given at page 39.

    class PickHandler : public osgGA::GUIEventHandler
    {
    public:
        // This virtual method must be overrode by subclasses.
        virtual void doUserOperations( osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector::Intersection& ) = 0;
        virtual bool handle( const osgGA::GUIEventAdapter& ea, osgGA::GUIActionAdapter& aa )
        {
            if ( ea.getEventType()!=osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::RELEASE
            ||ea.getButton()!=osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::LEFT_MOUSE_BUTTON
            ||!(ea.getModKeyMask()&osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::MODKEY_CTRL) )
                return false;
            osgViewer::View* viewer = dynamic_cast<osgViewer::View*>(&aa);
            if ( viewer )
            {
                osg::ref_ptr<osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector> intersector = new osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector(osgUtil::Intersector::WINDOW, ea.getX(), ea.getY());
                osgUtil::IntersectionVisitor iv( intersector.get() );
                viewer->getCamera()->accept( iv );
                if ( intersector->containsIntersections() )
                {
                    osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector::Intersection& result = *(intersector->getIntersections().begin());
                    doUserOperations( result );
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    };

I couldn't compile examples 1 and 2 from chapter 2, and example 1 from chapter 5.

I'm using Debian 10 and the latest version of OSG. My command to compile the last one is:

$ g++ cook5.1.cpp -losg -losgAnimation -losgGA -losgUtil -losgViewer -o cook5.1

I get the following error message:

cook5.1.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool osgCookBook::PickHandler::handle(const osgGA::GUIEventAdapter&, osgGA::GUIActionAdapter&)’:
cook5.1.cpp:72:62: error: binding reference of type ‘osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector::Intersection&’ to ‘const osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector::Intersection’ discards qualifiers
      osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector::Intersection& result = *(intersector->getIntersections().begin());
                                                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The message is the same in the previous examples. Anyone knows what's going on?

Thanks,

Rodrigo.

Hi, Rodrigo. The compiler says that the Intersection object is const,
so the reference you are taking should be also const.
