problem with cast

[poiskaille]

Hi,

I work with VisualC++ and I'va got this error while I'm trying to compile a
project found on the Net (odbcsocketserver.sourceforge.net):

cannot convert parameter 1 from char [10] to const unsigned short, cast
needed ...
....
....

my function looks like:
my_fonction(LPCTSTR param)
and calls looks like:
my_fonction("blablabla");

thanks ...

What is a LPCTSTR ?

Whatever it is it's not standard C++ and it's not a char * !

and calls looks like:
my_fonction("blablabla");

hint look up "_T()"

BTW - this is off topic in this ng.

You will have better luck in the MS newsgroups.

Also, next time submit compilable code (or in this case a complete
example that you think should compile.

What is a LPCTSTR ?

I think its an const unsigned short

typedef char TCHAR
typedef const TCHAR* LPCTSTR

The above definitions are straight from the windows headers, so as long as
your compiling for ascii it's just a 'const char *'
go figure!

And how do you explain this:

cannot convert parameter 1 from char [10] to const unsigned short, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
cast needed ...

my function looks like:
my_fonction(LPCTSTR param)

This minimal code compiles for me on VC 7.0 without any warning/errors.

#include <windows.h>
void my_fonction(LPCTSTR param)
{
}
int main ()
{
my_fonction("blablabla");
}

Which complier do you use or may be I am missing on something.

Try a "release mode" build.

Try a "release mode" build.

Works with both debug as well as release builds for me .
