Multi-dimension DGIntArray

[MrTAToad]

I'm trying to access a multi-dimension array (created by X_GETFACE), but when trying to access it via [(x*width)+y] for example, I always hit the limit for the first dimension, which prevents me from accessing the complete array directly, or accessing any dimension other than the first one...

The odd thing is that the C++ shows that a(0,0) is valid, and yet I get compiler errors (which suggest that only a(0) is allowed)...

Easiest method I have found for understanding how GLB C internals work is to write a very simple, all in GLB code for what I want it to do, then compile it. Then examine the processed C code that is in the GLB temp dir("C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic" on my Win 7 64 O.S.)

Yes, that is what I have do.

Unfortunately with a multi-dimension array, it has, for example

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

PRINT( a(1,1),0,0);

and yet my attempts to access it results in :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic\gpc_temp1.cpp:4417: error: no match for call to `(__GLBASIC__::DGIntArray) (int, int)'
C:/Program Files (x86)/GLBasic_v11/Compiler/platform/Include/glb.h:441: note: candidates are: DGInt& __GLBASIC__::DGIntArray::operator()(int)
C:/Program Files (x86)/GLBasic_v11/Compiler/platform/Include/glb.h:481: note:                 __GLBASIC__::DGIntArray& __GLBASIC__::DGIntArray::operator()()


My test code is :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

float TSetup_Object::CheckSize(float xyz,DGIntArray face,int index1,int index2)
{
int indice;

DEBUG(face(0,0));

return 0.0;
}

The problem is that multi-dimension access is converted to a single array location - unfortunately DGIntArray is checking against the first indice and there is no access to the actual data...

Genot stated that there needs to be GLBasic code somewhere to tell the compiler to use multi-dimension arrays - and that works fine.
