don't get me wrong, but are you sure you know what you're doing there?
however, if you really want to use your code as a library which could also mean flexibility to a certain degree,
I would define the PFD inside PureBasic and pass this to the function.
Code: Select all
pfd.PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR
pfd\nSize = SizeOf(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR)
pfd\nVersion = 1
pfd\dwFlags = #PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW | #PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL | #PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER
pfd\iPixelType = #PFD_TYPE_RGBA
.
.
.
.
etc.
see what I mean?
on the other hand, you won't need the PFD outside of your function, so why bother with that?

I put that :
Code: Select all
PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd;
int pixelformat;
pfd.nSize = sizeof(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR);
pfd.nVersion = 1;
pfd.dwFlags = PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL | PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER | PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW;
pfd.dwLayerMask = PFD_MAIN_PLANE;
pfd.iPixelType = PFD_TYPE_RGBA;
pfd.cColorBits = 16;
pfd.cDepthBits = 16;
And VC++ say :
error C2275: 'PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR' : illegal use of this type as an expression
There's still an error

I think this is a bug VC++
http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -US;166513
Using a typedef cast in the member initialization of a class may cause the following errors:
error C2275: 'test::run' : illegal use of this type as an expression
error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'arg'
error C2612: trailing '.*|->*' illegal in base/member initializer list
error C2059: syntax error : ')'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

I don't thinks so : I have VC++ 6.0, it's supposed to be corrected on this version ...
And it say an error if the extension is .C and when it's .CPP it works

I know the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR is supposed to be a typedef for "struct whatever" but perhaps the compiler still wants you to put "struct PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR" as the parameter to sizeof.

I put that :
struct PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd;
int pixelformat;
pfd.nSize = sizeof(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR);
pfd.nVersion = 1;
pfd.dwFlags = PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL | PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER | PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW;
pfd.dwLayerMask = PFD_MAIN_PLANE;
pfd.iPixelType = PFD_TYPE_RGBA;
pfd.cColorBits = 16;
pfd.cDepthBits = 16;
And in errors, there are :
l77 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
l78 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
l80 error C2065: 'pfd' : undeclared identifier
l80 error C2224: left of '.nSize' must have struct/union type
l81 error C2224: left of '.nVersion' must have struct/union type
l82 error C2224: left of '.dwFlags' must have struct/union type
l83 error C2224: left of '.dwLayerMask' must have struct/union type
l84 error C2224: left of '.iPixelType' must have struct/union type
l85 error C2224: left of '.cColorBits' must have struct/union type
l86 error C2224: left of '.cDepthBits' must have struct/union type
The most funny thing is that it worked on LCC

Just a question, did you included the OpenGL header ?
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2003 12:46 pm

Ok, I give ya all my code
Code: Select all
#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "glu32.lib")
#include <windows.h>
#include <gl\gl.h>
#include <gl\glu.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef PURELIBRARY
extern HINSTANCE PB_Instance;
#else
HINSTANCE PB_Instance;
#endif
HDC hdc;
HGLRC hrc;
extern void _stdcall PB_InitGL(HWND hWnd, int width, int height)
{
hdc = GetDC(hWnd);
struct PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd;
int pixelformat;
pfd.nSize = sizeof(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR);
pfd.nVersion = 1;
pfd.dwFlags = PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL | PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER | PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW;
pfd.dwLayerMask = PFD_MAIN_PLANE;
pfd.iPixelType = PFD_TYPE_RGBA;
pfd.cColorBits = 16;
pfd.cDepthBits = 16;
//pixelformat = ChoosePixelFormat(hdc, &pfd);
//SetPixelFormat(hdc, pixelformat, &pfd);
//hrc = wglCreateContext(hdc);
//wglMakeCurrent(hdc, hrc);
}
So I include the openGL header ...

I just removed the 'struct' and all works correctly. So I think you have a broken installation somewhere (tested with VC++ 6)

Do you compile it as a .C file and not .CPP ??
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2003 2:06 pm

Ha, I overlooked that. But it works with a .c too, the compiler is just C compliant, so you have to put all the declaration BEFORE any expression. So move the 'hdc = GetDC(hWnd);' after the declarations and it will work.

Thank you Fred, it works !!
I'll remember that !

why does devC++ fails

hello guys, thank u for all ur contributions,
but i have one problem, for any application - a simple 'C' linked list or a VC++ project, fails to compile on devC++ 5.0, whats the problem, there are no documents / tutorials for devC++,
i am depressed, i was also following the book of charles petzold (win sdk), but codes from that book are also not compiling,
i am new to devC++. what do u suggest, do i have to move for vc 6.0 ??
