small mistake in C template? by Whacko on 05-23-2004 at 02:01 PM
Patchou... I hope you get this 
i found this in your MPPluginHeader.h
code:
MPPLUGIN_RETURN_VOID DisplayToast(/*[in]*/ const char* sMessage,
/*[in]*/ const char* sTitle,
/*[in]*/ const char* sProgram,
/*[in]*/ bool bPlaySound)
{
char sMessageSafe[256]; sMessage[255] = '\0';
the "sMessage[255] = '\0'; " is not allowed here as its defined as const. VC++ may not have problem with it, however Borland C++ wont compile because of it.
Its NOT a big deal, it can be easily changed to char* without the const, or a little workaround:
code:
MPPLUGIN_RETURN_VOID DisplayToast(/*[in]*/ const char* sMessage,
/*[in]*/ const char* sTitle,
/*[in]*/ const char* sProgram,
/*[in]*/ bool bPlaySound)
{
char *workaround;
char sMessageSafe[256];
// sMessage[255] = '\0';
workaround = (char*) &sMessage[255];
*workaround = '\0';
just wanted to let you know
let me know what you think

Wouldn't that cause an access violation!?!

use this instead:code:
if (lstrlen(sMessage)>255)
sMessage[256]=0;
