System / Re: Runtime error sf::String

nope, I'm sure I used the C++ libraries.
I used SFML 1.6 libraries pre-compiled by vs2008 with vs2010 and even recently I used those same libraries with vs2012. Only a week ago I decided to use SFML 2.0 and didn't have any issues except for the issue that started the thread.

Thanks, that fixed the problem. I hadn't thought of recompiling since this isn't the first time I use libraries compiled by an older compiler, previously I encountered no issues.

Thanks again.

System / Runtime error sf::String

« on: February 23, 2013, 08:53:02 pm »

Hello,

I've written a class for reading textfiles. I'm currently using std::string but I wanted to switch to sf::String for better Unicode support, but as soon as I make any function use sf::String I get runtime errors.

For example, I have the following function, which executes just fine:

bool Open(const std::string& filename)
{
        if(this->IsOpen())
                this->Close();

        this->_stream.open(filename.c_str()); // _stream is of type std::ifstream.

        return this->_stream.good();
}

If I change it to this, things go wrong.

bool Open(const sf::String& filename)
{
        if(this->IsOpen())
                this->Close();

        this->_stream.open(filename.toAnsiString().c_str());

        return this->_stream.good();
}

After execution of this function, (when the temp std::string created by toAnsiString() gets destroyed) I get a "Application has triggered a breakpoint." with a callstack:
std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char> >::~std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char> >()
*std::basic_string internal calls*
std::allocator<char>::deallocate(char *_Ptr, unsigned int __formal)
operator delete (void* pUserData);
*more CRT internal calls*
_CrtIsValidHeapPointer(const void *pUserData)

Am I doing something wrong?

My setup:
- SFML 2.0 snapshot (linking against sfml-system-d.lib)
- Visual Studio Express 2012
- Windows 8 x64, compiling for x86

Thanks in advance for any help.
