Problems with std::string

[jiyan]

Hi, i switched from SDL to sfml1.6 - everything was working fine
then i thought sfml2 would be better then 1.6, so i moved to 2

But then i see that sfml2 is using const std::string instead of const char* and my window title don't shows  what it should be.
I see som unusal characters instead of my wished titel ( things like 0z' or Oz-)

Here is a code snipped

Code: [Select]

hSF = new sf::Window(sf::VideoMode(JD_SCREENWIDTH,JD_SCREENHEIGHT,32),"TITEL",Flag,settings);
I also tried these combinations :

Code: [Select]

hSF = new sf::Window(sf::VideoMode(JD_SCREENWIDTH,JD_SCREENHEIGHT,32)std::string("TITEL"),Flag,settings);

Code: [Select]

hSF = new sf::Window(sf::VideoMode(JD_SCREENWIDTH,JD_SCREENHEIGHT,32),(const std::string)std::string("TITEL"),Flag,settings);

Code: [Select]


const std::string = "titel";
hSF = new sf::Window(sf::VideoMode(JD_SCREENWIDTH,JD_SCREENHEIGHT,32),titel,Flag,settings);

then i tried to use sf::String, it was working fine - until the end of the function. I get a stackoverflow...
The debugger shows some calls to std::allocator and the final error is thrown from "msvcr100d.dll opartor delete(void* pUserData9)"

what's the matter here?

I'm using VS2010 and shared libs (yes configured my own with cmake)

Probably different settings in character set on the library and exe.

All builds are using mutlibyte characters

Hello,
Are compiling with the correct configurations and libs? I.E. Release libs and Release type compilation on VS2010?

Also, why are you using new to create Windows? Can't think of a reason to do so.

[jiyan]

I'm using new because i need the pointer for a global variable.

But no, i'm using the release libs with a debug config.
In sfml1.6 it worked witht his combination.

I'll try it with the right combination

[EDIT] Ok it worked Thank you

Very bad combination

Concerning the drawbacks of global variables and singletons, I've written this post some time ago. And if you use new, you should make sure there is a corresponding delete. Or directly use smart pointers or automatic variables.
