Hello,

I am currently attempting to expose the Irrlicht engine to AngelScript. The first class I decided to implement was the 'dimension2d<T>' class.

Here is the line of code that is giving me problems:


u32 r;
//other registered functions snipped
r = engine->RegisterObjectMethod("dimension2f", "bool opEquals(const dimension2f &in) const", asFUNCTIONPR(operator==, (const dimension2df&), bool),asCALL_CDECL_OBJFIRST);
assert(r >= 0);
//snipped


Here is the output my compiler gives upon trying to build said code:

E:\pb\main.cpp|291|error: invalid static_cast from type '<unresolved overloaded function type>' to type 'bool (*)(const irr::core::dimension2df&)'|

And finally, here is the actual code from the dimension2d<T> class:


bool operator==(const dimension2d<T>& other) const
{
return core::equals(Width, other.Width) &&
core::equals(Height, other.Height);
}


The whole source file:

http://irrlicht.sour..._8h_source.html

It appears to be complaining about the actual class itself, but I do not know why. Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction? If you need more information let me know.

Thank you.

Usually there is more than one operator== and if you try to pass the function itself the compiler can't figure out which one you mean. Usually that is inferred from the context of the call to operator== but since you are only passing the function/method to something and are not calling it, there are no arguments to infer the types from... you probably have to pass "dimension2d<float>::operator==" or something like that instead.

Hmm...it doesn't appear to be the operator= parameter that is failing the compile check...I tried what you suggested, but the same error occurs. Maybe it is something with the field next to the operator= statement? I can't figure out what though. I wish I could just say "Here is the class, let the script access it." If only it were that easy...

operator== in this case is a member function, so you should use asMETHODPR rather than asFUNCTIONPR. It's also const, which you need to take into account, and you should use asCALL_THISCALL. You may want to read this documentation page.

SiCrane, yes that worked beautifully. I read that documentation page before, I just never realized that I would have to use a different declaration parameter (METHODPR). Here is the correct code I used:

r = engine->RegisterObjectMethod("dimension2f", "bool opEquals(const dimension2f &in) const", asMETHODPR(dimension2df, operator==, (const dimension2df&) const, bool),asCALL_THISCALL); assert(r >= 0);
