When I try to run this:



I only get this errors:



The DarkGDK functions don't like strings. Why?

Or use text.c_str() instead of text. c_str() is a function that returns a pointer to the character data in the string.

I use this for my strings (Note: Updated RECENTLY since last release of my oop lib). Note I also have added some string parsing things and I know they are not optimized.. but they work, and work in GDK quite nicely... so ... considering I wrote those and tested them over last couple days, I'm going to start using them myself tonight on a file directory type of parser thingy):

jfc_string.h



jfc_string.cpp




[edit] All the functions in the HEADER are implemented.. I left a comment in there to the contrary and removed it [/edit]

+ Code Snippet

#include <string>
#include "DarkGDK.h"

using namespace :: std;

void DarkGDK()
{
dbSyncOn();

while(LoopGDK())
{
string text = "Lol";
dbPrint(text.c_str());
dbSync();
}

return;
}"


Just for performance sake I'd move the

string text = "Lol";

out of the loop. The optimizer may deal with it but to all appearances it looks like you're reassigning the string over and over when you don't need to.

I'm not sure, but is the scope resolution operator valid in your "using namespace" directive?

this line:

dbPrint(text.c_str());

needs to be changed to this:

dbPrint( (char*)text.c_str() );
