Errors with LPC Code using the latest LDMUD Driver LDMUD LDMud 3.6.8 (3.6.8) (release)

[Rodney Quaye]

Hi!

Could anyone help me with these errors please?

I am getting these errors:

-----//-----

2026.01.06 11:59:52 generic/living.c line 1468: Function call result must be casted due to pragma strict_types before end of line.
2026.01.06 11:59:52 generic/living.c line 1469: Function call result must be casted due to pragma strict_types before end of line.
-----//-----

from these lines in the file living.c:

-----//-----

        ob=filter_array( (object*) (all_inventory(here) - ({ this_object() })),
                         #'living );
        ob=filter_array(ob, "query_real_name");
-----//-----

I am also getting this error:

2026.01.06 11:59:52 include/terrains.h line 199: Invalid character sequence at byte 32.

from this line in the file terrains.h:

-----//-----

#define VALID_OUTLINES "-\\]!\"£%$^&*()_+= {};:@'#~?.><,\\\\/|`\
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\
ACDEFGHIJKLMNOPQSTUWYZ\
0123456789"

-----//-----

Thanks for your help!

Rod.

I presume "ob" is declared as "object* ob;", is it? In this case the
result of filter_array() needs to be typecast, since it is defined as
returning "mixed*".

This is likely because of the file's character encoding not matching the
H_FILE_ENCODING driver hook.


Hope that helps,

When using pragma strict_types you need to cast (either ({type}) or (type))
the result of a call_other/_direct/_strict to the expected type (and only
of those, other efuns don't have this requirement).

However these lines don't contain any obvious call_others. But filter_array()
is not an efun anymore. Is it a simul-efun, lfun or macro call?
