sfml2 with clang difference?

[njoshi3]

Hi,

I very recently installed SFML2.0 with clang. Earlier I used with gcc. And now I can see that the code, which used to work well when compiled with gcc now works only 80% correctly.

For example, if I don't import a system font earlier, the following code still produced results (it must be fetching default font somewhere), but with clang, the screen remains blank

sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1600,900), "Test");

sf::Text text("print me");
text.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(100, 100));
text.setCharacterSize(30);
text.setColor(sf::Color::Blue);

while (window.isOpen()) {
        sf::Event e;
        while (window.pollEvent(e)) {
            if (e.type == sf::Event::Closed) {
                window.close();
            }
        }
       
        window.clear();
        window.draw(text);      
        window.display();      
}
 

Also, if I have a static texture, and in some class method, I prepare a temporary sprite out of it and draw on the window, I get nothing. It used to print that texture-image with gcc.

Are there any subtle differences I am missing?
(Of course, while I now use the SFML2.0 snapshot to compile for clang, I used the binary for mac osx for gcc earlier)

Thanks in advanced,
Nikhil

The default font has been removed a few month ago, seems like your GCC version was a bit outdated.

I've no idea what you're talking about here.

You can take a look at the commit history to see all the changes that where made, which might be quite a few, depending on how old your previous version was.

Default font was removed long time ago, this is intended.
