Hi!
I have an function which returns a std::string as an out parameter, and this is causing me some problems. I am using 2.1.0 WIP4.
The string registration is taken more or less directly from the code provided with the library
std::string StringFactory (asUINT length, const char *s)
{
return std::string (s);
}
void ConstructString (std::string *thisPointer)
{
new(thisPointer) std::string ();
}
void DestructString (std::string *thisPointer)
{
thisPointer->~string ();
}
std::string &AssignString (const std::string &other, std::string *thisPointer)
{
new(thisPointer) std::string (other);
return *thisPointer;
}
engine->RegisterObjectType ("String", sizeof (std::string), asOBJ_CLASS_CDA);
engine->RegisterStringFactory ("String", asFUNCTION(StringFactory), asCALL_CDECL);
engine->RegisterObjectBehaviour ("String", asBEHAVE_CONSTRUCT, "void f()", asFUNCTION(ConstructString), asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST);
engine->RegisterObjectBehaviour ("String", asBEHAVE_DESTRUCT, "void f()", asFUNCTION(DestructString), asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST);
engine->RegisterObjectBehaviour ("String", asBEHAVE_ASSIGNMENT, "String &f(String &in)", asFUNCTION(AssignString), asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST);
In fact there are some more parts to it, but i don't think they should have any effect for this (if you suspect so, ask and i provide the rest of it).
Then i have my method returning the reference
static bool Get (PropType &value, Property *property)
{
value = "hi";
return true;
}
engine->RegisterObjectType ("Property", sizeof (Property), asOBJ_CLASS);
engine->RegisterObjectMethod ("Property", "void Get (String &out)", asFUNCTION(GetString), asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST);
The problem arises when i have code like this (in a method in my AS-script)
String outval;
property.Get (outval);
The method is called, and after that it tries to use my AssignString, but the first parameter is totaly bogus (0). Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a bug which can be confirmed, or am I doing something totaly wrong?
Last piece of info, here is the output from the offending line (outputed by AS_DEBUG-compilation) (ok, in fact the line is a bit more complicated.. it gets the property handle on same line, but that does work so I did not include that above)
