General discussions / And for my birthday I wish...

Java-style is C++ style too almost!

But honestly, it really looks neat. While both naming conventions have their beauty, there are names that look particularly bad in upper case, such as IsSomething(), in my opinion.

If you are using more than a couple middleware in your project, chances are 70% of them are in lowerCase() . And the standard library of C++ is lower too, and that won't change while the minority of middleware in CamelCase can adapt anytime

Cmon, my birthday is coming too ! xD

But the stdlib is in lower_case, not lowerCase.. As is boost. Why do you (SFML dev and users) prefer camel case over the convention used by the stl?

General / SFML 1.6 + Visual Studio Pro 2010 - Compiles, doesn't run

« on: March 03, 2012, 11:50:11 am »

Let me get this straight:

OP downloaded libraries for VS 2008 and tried to use in a VS 2010 project. Is the reason this doesn't work because of mixing C runtimes, or binary incompatibility between the compilers, or both?

Or something else entirely?

General / Invalid read of size 4 in sf::Window::Window

« on: March 03, 2012, 12:54:50 am »

Hi!

I'm having a little problem. SFML probably isn't the cause of this error, or I should have found it on the bug tracker. But I still can't figure out what I would be doing wrong.

I'm using the latest snapshot of SFML (compiled today), and valgrind 3.7.0.2, running on Archlinux in a vmware machine. I get the following output:

Any ideas?
