al_draw_soft_line

I'm trying to use al_draw_soft_line but I can't manage to understand how to use it.

So just for a test I tried to just draw a line at every pixel of the line. I expect to have a rectangle ate the end.

So I did this:

#SelectExpand
1void drawline(uintptr_t state, int x, int y); 2 3int main(void) { 4 5 al_init(); 6 al_install_keyboard(); 7 al_install_audio(); 8 al_init_acodec_addon(); 9 al_init_image_addon(); 10 al_init_primitives_addon(); 11 12 ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *queue; 13 ALLEGRO_VERTEX v[2]; 14 ALLEGRO_EVENT event; 15 ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display; 16 ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer; 17 ALLEGRO_TIMER *new_timer; 18 ALLEGRO_FONT *font; 19 20 int quit = false; 21 int redraw = false; 22 int start = false; 23 int fps = 0, frameCounter = 0; 24 int x = 30; 25 int y = 30; 26 char *message_start = "Press SPACE to start"; 27 char *message_end = "Press ESCAPE to exit"; 28 29 /*Initializing vertex*/ 30 v[1].color = al_map_rgba_f(0, 0, 0, 0); 31 v[1].u = 0; 32 v[1].v = 0; 33 v[1].x = 500; 34 v[1].y = 300; 35 v[1].z = 0; 36 v[2].color = al_map_rgba_f(0, 0, 0, 0); 37 v[2].u = 0; 38 v[2].v = 0; 39 v[2].x = 500; 40 v[2].y = 400; 41 v[2].z = 0; 42 43 queue = al_create_event_queue(); 44 display = al_create_display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT); 45 timer = al_create_timer(FPS); 46 new_timer = al_create_timer(1); 47 font = al_create_builtin_font(); 48 49 al_register_event_source(queue, al_get_display_event_source(display)); 50 al_register_event_source(queue, al_get_timer_event_source(timer)); 51 al_register_event_source(queue, al_get_timer_event_source(new_timer)); 52 al_register_event_source(queue, al_get_keyboard_event_source()); 53 54 /*creating the mighty pink square*/ 55 56 /*initiate display*/ 57 al_set_target_bitmap(al_get_backbuffer(display)); 58 al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(0, 0, 0)); 59 al_draw_text(font, al_map_rgb(255, 0, 255), SCREEN_WIDTH / 2, 60 SCREEN_HEIGHT / 2 - 5, ALLEGRO_ALIGN_CENTER, message_start); 61 al_draw_text(font, al_map_rgb(255, 0, 255), SCREEN_WIDTH / 2, 62 SCREEN_HEIGHT / 2 + 5, ALLEGRO_ALIGN_CENTER, message_end); 63 al_flip_display(); 64 65 al_start_timer(timer); 66 al_start_timer(new_timer); 67 68 while (!quit) { 69 if (redraw && start) { 70 al_set_target_bitmap(al_get_backbuffer(display)); 71 al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(127, 127, 127)); 72 /*PRINT THING HERE*/ 73 al_draw_soft_line(&v[1], &v[2], (uintptr_t) NULL, NULL, NULL, drawline); 74 /******************/ 75 al_draw_textf(font, al_map_rgb(0, 0, 255), SCREEN_WIDTH - 10, 10, ALLEGRO_ALIGN_RIGHT, "%d", fps); 76 al_flip_display(); 77 redraw = false; 78 frameCounter++; 79 } 80 81 do { 82 al_wait_for_event(queue, &event); 83 /*timer*/ 84 if (event.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER) { 85 if (start) { 86 if (event.timer.source == timer) { 87 redraw = true; 88 } 89 if (event.timer.source == new_timer) { 90 fps = frameCounter; 91 frameCounter = 0; 92 } 93 } 94 95 } 96 /*keyboard*/ 97 if (event.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_DOWN) { 98 if (start) { 99 if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_DOWN) { 100 if (y != SCREEN_HEIGHT - SQUARE) { 101 y = y + 30; 102 } 103 104 } 105 if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_UP) { 106 if (y != 0) { 107 y = y - 30; 108 } 109 } 110 if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_RIGHT) { 111 if (x != SCREEN_WIDTH - SQUARE) { 112 x = x + 30; 113 } 114 } 115 if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_LEFT) { 116 if (x != 0) { 117 x = x - 30; 118 } 119 120 } 121 } 122 if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_ESCAPE) { 123 quit = true; 124 } 125 if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_SPACE) { 126 start = true; 127 } 128 } 129 } while (!al_is_event_queue_empty(queue)); 130 131 } 132 133 al_destroy_event_queue(queue); 134 al_destroy_display(display); 135 al_destroy_timer(timer); 136 al_destroy_timer(new_timer); 137 al_destroy_font(font); 138 139 return EXIT_SUCCESS; 140} 141 142void drawline(uintptr_t state, int x, int y) { 143 144 al_draw_line(x + 0.5, y + 0.5, x + 10.5, y + 0.5, al_map_rgb(255, 0, 255), 1); 145}

My al_draw_soft_line is at the line 73 and when I run my program it just crash. Can anyone explain to me what I do wrong?

Now I feel stupid. But this doesn't fix the problem. Can it be a problem with my drawline function?

Yes, if I comment the al_draw_soft_line the program run without problem.

Allegro currently expects all 3 function pointer arguments to be non-NULL. So supply a dummy function that does nothing.

#SelectExpand
1 2void firstone(uintptr_t, int, int, ALLEGRO_VERTEX*, ALLEGRO_VERTEX*); 3void stepper(uintptr_t , int); 4void drawline(uintptr_t state, int x, int y); 5 6void firstone(uintptr_t, int, int, ALLEGRO_VERTEX*, ALLEGRO_VERTEX*) { 7 8} 9void stepper(uintptr_t , int) { 10 11} 12 13//... 14 al_draw_soft_line(&v[1], &v[0], (uintptr_t) NULL, firstone , stepper , drawline);
