why does doing a simple math check cause a LPD3DXSPRITE / ID3DXSPRITE to break

Hi All.
im trying to get this collision detection working(it should), but when i try to check for a collision(dont know if it works) and then when i try to render the sprite i get a unhandled exception here is the code that i use to check for collision

bool spritecollide(AnimatedSprite s1, AnimatedSprite s2)
{
if (( s1.posx > s2.posx ) && ( s1.posx < (s2.posx + s2.framesizex )) && ( s1.posy > s2.posy ) && ( s1.posy < s2.posy + s2.framesizey ))
return true;
return false;
};


and here is where the unhandled exception occures

result = sprite->Begin(D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND);


ive attached my sprite class, ok, i was told; You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file, so ill just p[aste the code

Have you called AnimatedSprite::Load() before calling AnimatedSprite::Update()? The most likely problem is that sprite is NULL.

It wouldn't hurt to modify AnimatedSprite::Update() as follows;


#include <cassert>

void Update(float DeltaTime)
{
assert(sprite);

//...
}
Easy: You pass sprite objects as copies into your collision check function. The copies get destroyed after the function finished and release the copied sprite instances. Your original sprite objects now carry dangling pointers to already released sprites.



Short workaround: Change the function signature to:

[color="#000088"]bool spritecollide[color="#666600"]( const [color="#660066"]AnimatedSprite& s1[color="#666600"], const [color="#660066"]AnimatedSprite& s2[color="#666600"])



Real workaround: Follow the rule of the three (which might not be too feasible with the sprite pointers.

Thanks, its working now, so accessing and useing the varubles i used causes "dangleing pointers" ?
and what is the rule of three ?

No, not accessing and using. Having copies made is the problem.

When you pass objects by value the compiler actually creates copies of your variables for spritecollide. Once spritecollide is left these copies are destroyed (calling the destructor releasing the sprites). Because the copies contain the same sprite pointers as your original instances they point to a released object now.



The rule of the three:

If you need any of an assignment operator, a copy constructor or a destructor you need all three (to get proper behaviour for all cases)

Thanks Alot, i have a C++ book and it never mentioned such a thing(well that i saw)
