Invalid Conversion http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/581712 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Wed, 26 Apr 2006 23:32:40 +0000

I've got this here code (C++, Allegro and AGUP for the GUI) that's an utter bastard to get to work.

1 
2int translate()
3{
4 alert("You pushed my button!", "Isn't this a useful feature?", 0,
5 "&Yes", "&Definitely", 'y', 'd');
6 
7 return D_O_K;
8}
9 
10 
11 
12(...)
13 
14DIALOG main_dlg[] =
15{
16 /* (dialog proc) (x) (y) (w) (h) (fg)(bg) (key) (flags) (d1) (d2) (dp) (dp2) (dp3) */
17
18 /* this element just clears the screen, therefore it should come before the others */
19 { d_agup_clear_proc, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL },
20
21 
22 
23 { d_agup_edit_proc, 100, 75, 160, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, LENGTH, 0, word_1, NULL, NULL },
24 { d_agup_push_proc, 100, 95, 100, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, str_trans, 0, translate },
25 { quit_proc, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 27, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
26
27 /* the next two elements don't draw anything */
28 { d_yield_proc, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL },
29 { NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL }
30};

What it does while compiling, is giving this error message:

Quote:

invalid conversion from `int (*)()' to `void*'

It points to the main_dlg declaration, and seems to be caused by the d_agup_push_proc part.

Now, I've checked an example code that does work:

1int surprise()
2{
3 alert("You pushed my button!", "Isn't this a useful feature?", 0,
4 "&Yes", "&Definitely", 'y', 'd');
5 
6 return D_O_K;

That does work. I don't see what I've done wrong :? Anybody able to help me out on this one?

Try an explicit cast on both the string and procedure (void *).

C++ is a lot more strict on casting. Non-void pointers need to be cast to void* (in this case, the translate function pointer you're passing).

That worked. Thanks so much, you two:)
