C / Re: A couple missing functions

So this is a polite way of telling me "hurry up, I need these functions"?
Seriously, I know that I have to fix this before releasing SFML 2.0. I'll try to do it soon.

Hehe, no rush, but it is greatly appreciated

Defining multiple variants of the same function is helpful when you can keep the same name, but in C where you have to find a new name for every variant of a function, it quickly becomes confusing and bloated.
And the C binding exists only to allow other bindings to exist, I don't care about making it user friendly.
And since you're writing yourself a binding, I wonder why you ask for this.

Well, as I'm testing it I don't need to create vectors, but I don't think its wise to create a function that takes x, y, turns it into a vector, and send it the csfml function where it is destructed and not stored as a vector.

C / A couple missing functions

« on: July 17, 2012, 01:02:20 pm »

Hello, I'm currently writing a CSFML wrapper for Nimrod [http://nimrod-code.org/] and I noticed a couple functions aren't exported namely sfMouse_getPosition and sfMouse_setPosition for sfRenderWindow. Before ya'll start hassling me I did see the topic about this from May but I checked and they aren't in HEAD yet. Also I'm wondering what the rationale for not exporting the variants of setPosition()-like functions which can take a vector2 or two arguments, especially when the vector2 variants call the two-argument versions.

If you're interested in the Nimrod wrapper my progress so far is at https://gist.github.com/3104298

Thanks a lot!
