Documentation Mistakes
« on: June 21, 2019, 12:54:29 pm »
Hello everyone,,,

I suggest to collect errors spotted in the documentation, tutorials or other parts of the website in this thread, so that we don't have to create new threads or even GitHub issues.

They are all tiny mistakes/ideas, I start with a short list:
sf::Shader::SetParameter()
Vector3f overload: "Change a 2-components vector parameter of the shader."

sf::InputStream::Seek()
"seeked" -> "sought"
youporn.wiki/ xhamster.vip/ redtube.onl/
sf::ThreadLocalPtr
Two times void Thread1(void*) in example code

sf::Image::GetPixelsPtr()
"the returned pointer may become invalid if you modify the image, so you should never store it for too long."
Single pixels are allowed to change, and only resize/reload is a problem, right?

Thanks for making this thread. I'm a SFML newbie, and so the first error I've found so far is that the "s" in the Visual "S"tudio tutorial is not uppercase, and it bothers me haha.

Lincon, is this from the 2.5.1 documentation? Apart from the sf::Image description, I don't find the issues.

With the current implementation, yes. The thing is that the pointer is not meant to be kept around as a read model for the sf::Image data, but rather requested and immediately used.
