Problems with the GameState

[darkmaster]

hELLO all,

I implement the game state method which is shown in the wiki articles.
But when I try to run it, I got some erors which are very weird to me. Its happening when I try to use the CEGUI things in my apps.

SOry to post all of this eror line, I really don't know the cause of this eror.

The program structure is looks like this

I have two header file:

GameEngine.h: it contains the class structure of GameManager, InPUTmANAGER, GameState

GameState.h: This is where my first state is made, SplashScreen state is the one causing problem. If I remove this, all the eror is gone.

two cpp file:
main.cpp:main call
GameEngine.cpp:the code for the GameEngine.h

I really dont understand what's wrong, hope anyone can suggest some solutions

There is a conflict with the xerces memory manager and the ogre memory manager, simply wrap all of your cegui includes with #define OGRE_NO_MEMORY_MACROS and after #define OGRE_MEMORY_MACROS

(I think)

[haffax]

almost

Code: Select all

#include <OgreNoMemoryMacros.h>
// XERCES/CEGUI headers
#include <OgreMemoryMacros.h>

[darkmaster]

Niceee solution. Its working correctly now guys.

but why do we need to include<OgreNoMemoryMacros>
and include<OgreMemoryMacros>.

HOw is the workaround regarding to the memoryManager conflict be done with this statement? maybe someone can explain to me

Haven't looked into this, but I guess it has something to deal with #undef and #define preprocessor statements and things like that

Ogre's memory manager conflicts with Xerces' one.

[:wumpus:]

I generally see Ogre's memory manager as a pita and disable it completely even in debug mode; although it's very nice if you want to detect leaks, it redefining the allocation/deallocation functions doesn't go to well with most if third party dependency, even Xerces and CEGUI.

[Kencho]

Nice observation. Now that you mention it, I think I'll enable it only for the debug build

[:wumpus:]

It is only enabled for debug builds by default..

[haffax]

That was Kencho's point.

LOL You're right! I've won the "stupid comment of the month" prize, hahahaha!!!
