RenderTarget::SetView()

[Pseudonym]

Hi!

I find it confusing that RenderTarget::SetView(const View& view);
stores a pointer to view, instead of copying it.
Thus I have to keep the View object around to keep the pointer valid:

Code: [Select]


void canvas::resize(int width, int height) {
static sf::View view;
sf::FloatRect canvasRect(0, 0, width, height);
view.SetFromRect(canvasRect);
SetView(view);
}

It's already changed in SFML 2.

This is more convenient to use, but I don't find it less confusing. It's common that a class uses an instance of another class managed externally, without taking ownership of it or duplicating it. Look at sf::Sprite and sf::Image for example.
