I am trying to do a copy constructor on asOBJ_REF class. Seems the asBEHAVE_CONSTRUCT does not apply to asOBJ_REF classes.

Any ideas?

I settled so far for

RegisterObjectMethod("image", "void Copy(const image &in)", asMETHOD(CByteImage,Copy), asCALL_THISCALL); assert( r >= 0 );

However my image class asBEHAVE_FACTORY is all object handles, but I seems not to be able to make the Copy accept the object handles as argument.

so I can go

img2.Copy(img);

and it is fine

the

img2.Copy(@img);

would throw compile error.

I tried

RegisterObjectMethod("image", "void Copy(const image @&in)", asMETHOD(CByteImage,Copy), asCALL_THISCALL); assert( r >= 0 );

and while it is accepted, the runtime runs into what seems an endless loop (well it does returns after 7 sec which is probably some protection in the angelscript), so I don't think this is how I am supposed to do it.

Any help & ideas?

BTW, speeds are pretty awesome. I use it for image processing (the looping through the pixels is the main toll) and the scripted version vs native code is about 10-12x slower. So if native version would be 35ms,, the scripted version would be for example 450 ms. I think that is pretty amazing.

Andreas, the compile worked ok with my Copy(const image @&in), the runtime went into an loop when executing it. I didn't debug it as I knew I was probably doing something I shouldn't.

I tried the copyconstructor and it works, but as any other reference input it doesn't accept @ tag which maybe makes the syntax confusing or maybe not... there is something about the object handle syntax I am not 100% comfortable.
