Hey guys,

In my application I want to set a texture as shader resource, so the pixel shader can sample it using the passed in uv coordinates. Generally, I know how to do it and I have it working in another place of my application. However, for one special case it just doesn't seem to work and I can't get rid of a compilation error.

I have a class Font with this function:

ID3D11ShaderResourceView* GetTexture();

And another class trying to access that function in order to get the texture and set it as a resource for the pixel shader:

pDeviceContext -> PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, m_font.GetTexture() );

(m_font is an object of the class Font, that has that GetTexture() function)

The compiler gives me this error:

argument of type "ID3D11ShaderResourceView *" is incompatible with parameter of type "ID3D11ShaderResourceView *const *"

I think I tried all combinations of constness for the return type of the GetTexture() function and nothing changed. Also, I'm building this pretty much based on a tutorial that has pretty much the same code, so I think it should be working. Especially as it is working somewhere else in my application (although I'm not getting the texture over a get-function there but pass in the address of a member texture).

So, please help me to solve this. Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks guys for replying, but I tried that before, I mean using

pDeviceContext -> PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, &m_font.GetTexture() );

In that case the compiler will simply tell me: '&' requires l-value

Doing the following doesn't change anything about it:

pDeviceContext -> PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, &(m_font.GetTexture()) );

When I do something like this, however, it works:

ID3D11ShaderResourceView* pTex = m_font.GetTexture();
pDeviceContext -> PSSetShaderResources(0, 1, &pTex );

What's going on? What's the problem with the getter? Any ideas?
