Hi! Today I downloaded the AngelScript library and tried running a sample program. I compiled the AngelScript library as a static library. I included it into my project as well. I think I have setup all the project properties correctly. My project will compile however when I execute it, only a '0' appears on the screen. The source code that I compiled came from an earlier post. I used the guy's "corrected" code and he said it worked for him however it isn't working for me. Her is the application code.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "angelscript.h"
using namespace std;

const char* LoadScript(std::string scriptfile);

void Test();

int main()
{
    int counter = 0;
    
    asIScriptEngine* engine = asCreateScriptEngine(ANGELSCRIPT_VERSION);
    const char* script = LoadScript("test01.as");
	
    engine->AddScriptSection("module", "section", script, strlen(script));
    engine->RegisterGlobalProperty("int counter", &counter);
    engine->RegisterGlobalFunction("void Test()", asFUNCTION(Test), asCALL_CDECL);
    
    engine->Build("module");
    	
    asIScriptContext *context = 0;
    engine->CreateContext(&context);
    
    int functionID = engine->GetFunctionIDByDecl("module", "void DoSomething()");

    // Execute the script function
    context->Prepare(functionID);
    context->Execute();

    // Release the context when finished with it
    context->Release();
	
    // test
    cout << counter;
    cin.get();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

const char* LoadScript(std::string scriptfile)
{
    ifstream fin(scriptfile.c_str());
    char ch;
    std::string script_contents;
    
    while(fin.get(ch))
    {
       script_contents += ch;
    }
    
    fin.close();
    return script_contents.c_str();
}

void Test()
{
    cout << "Function called by script!" << endl;
}

This is the AngelScript code

void DoSomething()
{
    counter = 5;
    Test();
}

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong? Thanks again! -- Brandon Fogerty http://www.jujikasoft.com GOD Bless you Always!!!!

Thank you Deyja. I didn't realize that until you told me. Thanks again for pointing out... my pointer. ;) However now I have another problem.
The code still compiles however when I run it I get a runtime error. So when I debug it using visual c++, it points me to AngelScript's as_array.h file.
More directly it points me to

template <class T>
T *asCArray<T>::AddressOf()
{
-> return array;
}

Here is my updated code.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "angelscript.h"
using namespace std;

std::string LoadScript(const std::string &scriptfile);

void Test();

int main()
{
int counter = 0;

asIScriptEngine* engine = asCreateScriptEngine(ANGELSCRIPT_VERSION);
std::string script = LoadScript("test01.as");

engine->AddScriptSection("module", "section", script.c_str(), script.length());
engine->RegisterGlobalProperty("int counter", &counter);
engine->RegisterGlobalFunction("void Test()", asFUNCTION(Test), asCALL_CDECL);

int functionID = engine->GetFunctionIDByDecl("module", "void DoSomething()");

engine->Build("module");

asIScriptContext *context = 0;
engine->CreateContext(&context);

// Execute the script function
context->Prepare(functionID);
context->Execute();

// Release the context when finished with it
context->Release();

// test
cout << counter;
cin.get();

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

std::string LoadScript(const std::string &scriptfile)
{
ifstream fin(scriptfile.c_str());
char ch;
std::string script_contents;

while(fin.get(ch))
{
script_contents += ch;
}

fin.close();
return script_contents;
}

void Test()
{
cout << "Function called by script!" << endl;
}

Andreas, I think I will like AngelScripting as soon as I get a demo running. =) Thanks again!

Yes Andreas. That was the problem. I needed to put the GetFunctionID after I build the module. Thanks a lot!

GOD Bless you Always my Friend!!!!

Well, you'll get a lot of linker errors either way. From my experience you can use /FORCE:MULTIPLE linker option to allow the linker to use whatever one it feels like and my apps have still ran.
