Check whether RenderImage is available doesn't compile

[thedude]

Hi,

I installed a snapshot of the 2.0 not two weeks ago on my opensuse 11.4. I wanted to follow the good advice in this example of the doc: "make sure that rendering to image is supported". So I used the condition from the example but now g++ won't compile my code, saying: "main.cpp:5:18: error: ‘IsAvailable’ is not a member of ‘sf::RenderImage’". main.cpp is the minimal example I used to check that this line was the only possible source of error:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  std::cout << ((sf::RenderImage::IsAvailable())? "True" : "False") << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Am I doing something wrong here? I thought it might be a bug either in the example that shouldn't use it (it is not listed as a public method in the doc) or in the code where it should be public.

it is not listed as a public method in the doc

The doc is generated from the code. So if it's not in the doc, it's not in the code. Read it carefully, it doesn't mention IsAvailable() anymore.

That's what I gathered, but then the example needs to be updated.

Usage example:

Code: [Select]

// First of all: make sure that rendering to image is supported
 if (!sf::RenderImage::IsAvailable())
    return -1;
[...]

Oh, I really thought I had already removed this line from the example. Thanks.
