What do you need help with? Version 1

[QUOTE=Darwin226;22343159]I'm getting the "Attempted to read or write protected memory." error when trying to use Gl.glCreateShader( Gl.GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER ).

How can I fix it? I've tried Googling it but no luck.[/QUOTE]

I didn't see any obvious solutions, wanna post your code?

[Darwin226]

Sure. [URL="http://pastebin.com/BccFVZtC"]Here it is.[/URL]

I think I'm supposed to use it like this but not sure.
I can post the shader.fs too but since the program doesn't actually get to the part where it's supposed to load it, i don't think that's the problem.

Trying to get my GMod module to compile, but the linker wont stop giving me these errors:

1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl Shutdown(struct lua_State *)" (?Shutdown@@YAHPAUlua_State@@@Z)
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl Init(struct lua_State *)" (?Init@@YAHPAUlua_State@@@Z)

I don't see anything incredibly obvious. Does it work without creating a shader? Like will it draw just regular polygons. I'm not positive how everything comes together in C#, but how are you getting Gl when you're going to create a shader? Typically I'd see it as a private variable, I don't know if you can reference it without a declaration first. v:v:v Just make sure that the variable isn't null, and that it's been initialized.

[Darwin226]

I don't really understand what you mean. Without the shader part everything works. It draws the rainbow triangle and everything.

[QUOTE=Dacheet;22312909]I have a lot of functions (about 20 or 30) and I want to have a universal command that, when input, couts a variable, and then goes back the the function you were in. How do I do that?

C++, by the way.[/QUOTE]

You didn't explain very well.
Why don't you just cout it in the middle of some function?

[Dacheet]

But I want it to go back to whatever function you were in when you typed it.

[TheBoff]

[QUOTE=Dacheet;22374993]But I want it to go back to whatever function you were in when you typed it.[/QUOTE]

You realise this is the normal behaviour?

For example

void some_func() {
  cout << "In a function" << endl;
}

int main() {
  cout << "About to call function" << endl;
  some_func();
  cout << "That was fun!" << endl;
}

/*
Outputs:
About to call function
In a function
That was fun!
*/

[Dacheet]

Also, how do I combine a whole bunch of strings into one variable in C++. I have a lot of return IDs (I think that's what they're called) and I want to condense them down to one variable for an if statement.

[TVC]

Use a string array:

const int MAXITEMS = 4;
string returnIDs[MAXITEMS] = {"This", "is", "an", "array"};

Arrays start from 0 therefore, returnIDs[0] == "This", and returnIDs[1] == "is", and so on.

I have a bunch of string variables and I want them all down into one array, so would I do that, but replace the strings with variables?

[Darwin226]

Yes, you should also try stuff like that before asking.

[Dacheet]

I tried that and this error about 7 times:

C:\Users\Owner\Documents\C++ Files\WIPs\Rp.c|168|error: conversion from `int ()(std::string)' to non-scalar type `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >' requested|

And this one about 7 times:

Here's the code (The problem is around int main() but I declare the array up higher:

Super quick question time!
How do I draw a rectangle with white outlines and black filling in XNA, C#?

[ShaunOfTheLive]

[QUOTE=Dacheet;22396358]I tried that and this error about 7 times:

C:\Users\Owner\Documents\C++ Files\WIPs\Rp.c|168|error: conversion from `int ()(std::string)' to non-scalar type `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >' requested|

And this one about 7 times:

Well, this is a completely illegal statement.

if (MAXITEMS == "coins" || MAXITEMS == "COINS" || MAXITEMS == "Coins" || MAXITEMS == "money" || MAXITEMS == "MONEY" || MAXITEMS == "Money")

You're comparing a number to various strings. What are you trying to do??

If I have two bytes, and I wanted to represent a single longer number with them, working completely in decimal how might I go about this?

Like how a 4 bytes represents an integer. I need to know how to manually do that kind of thing.

Pretty sure the standard is 1 byte, all the references I can find say 1 byte.

Well if it's two bytes then you may aswell put it into a short because it will fit. If for whatever reason you wanted it in an int, i think you can still do that.

Actually, i'm not sure the best way to do it. I know you can put a char into a short or int without a cast but not sure how you would do 2.

[editline]12:30AM[/editline]

I've been told you can do it like

[cpp]
char a;
char b;
...
short int s = a << 8 & b;
[/cpp]

Which is handy to know.

I'm not working in C++ though is the thing, I'm working in a language interpreted by C++ with 1kb of memory, a big array made up of bytes. In the interpreted language I'd want to know how to do things to represent a larger number. The language is Turing complete bar the memory limit.

[editline]12:35AM[/editline]

Ah, well sorry, i just assumed :P[/QUOTE]

Nah it's cool, thanks for trying to help though. The only way I can think of doing it is to just do (in psuedocode)

mem[0] = 255 //Max a memory area can hold.
mem[1] = 30 //Amount to add
mem[2] = 240 // The area to be added to.

if mem[0] - mem[2] < mem[1] then
   mem[10] = mem[0] - mem[2]
   mem[2] += mem[10]
   mem[3] += mem[1] - mem[10]
end

Didn't spend too long on that but you get the point. That's incredibly inefficient though :(

[Darwin226]

I don't know if you can do this but you can multiply one by 256, then add the other one.

So if the first byte is 120 and the second one is 240:
120*256 + 240 = 30960
Or in binary:
120 - 0111 1000
240 - 1111 0000
120 * 256 = 30720 - 0111 1000 0000 0000
30720 + 240 = 30960 - 0111 1000 1111 0000 //which is the fist one and second one put together

[/QUOTE]

I think that's getting pretty close now. If I could use that to represent the number and then for printing and such put the output of that into separate memory areas. But how to get the 120*256 when you can only hold 255 as your tops number is the problem.
