General / Re: Question regarding RenderWindow's c-tor

« on: August 30, 2014, 07:29:23 pm »

Got it now; what I was doing basically in the second case is calling a function called window that would return void and not the constructor (http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/empty-parens-in-object-decl.html).

Thanks for your help Ixrec!

General / [SOLVED] Question regarding RenderWindow's c-tor

« on: August 30, 2014, 02:06:58 am »

Hello everyone!

A new SFML user here. I was playing around with sf::RenderWindow as a member variable inside a class and noticed something; when I initialize window using init lists, it works:

SharpShooter::SharpShooter() : window(sf::VideoMode(680,480), "Rendering Area") { }

However, if I declare it inside the body of the c-tor like so:

SharpShooter::SharpShooter()  
{
window(sf::VideoMode(680,480), "Rendering Area");
 }

I get the following error;

error: no match for call to ‘(sf::RenderWindow) (sf::VideoMode, const char [12])’

FYI, window is neither a const member nor a reference.

This is might be more of a C++ question but I was curious and wanted to ask about it

Thanks in advance.
