CEGUI 0.7 error C2440:'initializing'

[super]

I'm trying to build CEGUI following part2 of this guide http://ogre17crashcourse.blogspot.com/2 ... -work.html but I have this error

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\xmemory(208): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'CEGUI::ListboxItem *'
1> Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Use the snapshot code: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4704 it should have these issues fixed.

I have same error, could this be explained a tad more? Ive downloaded and applied those files.

[CrazyEddie]

You mean explain the error? It basically means that the 0 was interpreted as the interger zero which can't be implicitly cast by the compiler to a pointer type (ListboxItem*), so the compiler requires the cast to be explicit. Why does this show up only on this compiler and only now? To be honest, I didn't get into a deep analysis of the situation

This is the block line erroring

Code: Select all

   template<class _Other>
      void construct(pointer _Ptr, _Other&& _Val)
      {   // construct object at _Ptr with value _Val
      ::new ((void _FARQ *)_Ptr) _Ty(_STD forward<_Other>(_Val));
      }


This is the line specifically,

Code: Select all

   ::new ((void _FARQ *)_Ptr) _Ty(_STD forward<_Other>(_Val));

This is the error specifically,

Code: Select all

Error   1   error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'CEGUI::ListboxItem *'   e:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xmemory   208

I'm not sure if you're asking this for academic purposes or if you are still getting this issue

The issue is fixed, and the fix is to explicitly cast the 0 to the CEGUI::ListboxItem* type. I know it's fixed and that this fix works because I was compiling it just fine on VC++ 2010 over the weekend

More, educational purposes. I have hundreds of notes on everything.
Once again, thanks CE. I have overwhelmed myself with too big of tasks, so I am going to start in 2D side scroller.
Everything seems so clear in my head / notes, but my damn PC is too cluttered. Might go for a expensive monitor with ridiculous resolution, my 1360 x 768 cheap flat screens ain't cuttin it.

Cool. I think basically it has to do with the compiler not implicitly casting 0 to a null pointer of whatever type - meaning it just sees it as integer zero. It may be related to the introduction of nullptr in C++0x, which MSVC++ 2010 supports. I don't know for sure, though.
