So I have these lines of code:
int maxY, maxX;
getmaxyx(stdscr, &maxY, &maxX);
It gives me the following error:
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'int *'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
twice for each time I use it. I'm not even using the = operator! The curses.h file is included. What am I doing wrong?
getmaxyx is a macro, which doesn't take int*, but int.
It resolves to something like
getmaxyx(S,Y,X) -> X=s->X, Y=s->Y
try
getmaxyx(stdscr, maxY, maxX); // without the & operator

I have strange error when compiling open source lib
I using visual studio 2019
and I created a solution to the lib cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" ../"
but I keep getting erros when compiling :
starting with this line :

"" is a constant string. You can't just assign that to a non-constant char *, because then it could be mutated through the pointer.
According to the source code of libunistd, the implementation was taken from NetBSD, but a quick check¹ shows that NetBSD doesn't initialize optarg at all:
char *optarg; /* argument associated with option */
You could follow the same approach.
You could also turn off this error by passing /Zc:strictStrings- (note the hyphen) to your compiler. As long as the constant string isn't written to, there should be little harm in that.
You might want to report this as a bug to the library author.
¹ Not sure I'm looking at the latest version. It's from 2014.
It's not strange. The type of "" (or any string literal) is const char[] and the type of optarg is char*. So if the assignment was allowed you would be able to modify a string literal via the pointer optarg. Clearly that's not desireable.
In an older version of C++, this assignment was allowed as a special case, simply because there was too much old C code that did this. But this is no longer the case.
the file I want to compile
first error:
cannot convert 'wchar_t*' to 'LPCSTR' {aka 'const char*'}|
I fixed it by changing WriteConsoleOutputCharacter to WriteConsoleOutputCharacterW.
However I get another error on this line:
swprintf(screen, 40, L"X=%3.2f, Y=%3.2f, A=%3.2f FPS=%3.2f ", fPlayerX, fPlayerY, fPlayerA, 1.0f/fElapsedTime);
invalid conversion from 'int' to 'const wchar_t*' [-fpermissive]|
initializing argument 2 of 'int swprintf(wchar_t*, const wchar_t*, ...)'|
How can I compile this code?
The swprintf function you're using does not appear to take a buffer size. You may want to consider using _snwprintf instead.
_snwprintf(screen, 40, L"X=%3.2f, Y=%3.2f, A=%3.2f FPS=%3.2f ", fPlayerX, fPlayerY, fPlayerA, 1.0f/fElapsedTime);
You may get warned that this function is unsafe - the suggested alternative is _snwprintf_s where you must specify both the size of the buffer and the maximum number of characters to write. In practice, these are often the same, so most of the time, calls to this function look like this:
_snwprintf_s(screen, 40, 40, L"X=%3.2f, Y=%3.2f, A=%3.2f FPS=%3.2f ", fPlayerX, fPlayerY, fPlayerA, 1.0f/fElapsedTime);
I have added sqlite3.c file into my project.
And #include. Here is the code:
#include <sqlite3.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
return 0;
}
I compile the program and it throws the following error:

But there is no error that a header or file is not found. Everything is found and the errors are just outputted above
I have found the solution. I compiled the C code as C++, but changing it was not enough.
I write it for future visitors:
First, I had to change file's (ONLY FILE) property. Right-click on the file and select properties, under the C/C++, select Advanced and then select Compile As and set it to C (neither default nor C++).
Then, you should make sure that your .c file is compiled without clr. Well, to do that, under the same C/C++ set of menu, select "Common Langugae Runtime Support" and set it to No Support....
I'm using Visual Studio 17 and I would add to this, find the settings for "Precompiled Header" and set that to "Not Using Precompiled Headers".
I am getting a cast error using the variable RockElem. The variable is defined in a class with other variables which are integers. This variable is defined as const.
if(resistivitySolve)
fileName << "_resist";
else if(dynamic_cast< const Water* >(fluid) != 0)
fileName << "_water";
else
fileName << "_oil";
fileName << "_sw_" << waterSat*100.0;
sort(m_throatConductances.begin(), m_throatConductances.end(), throatIndexCompare());
pair<const RockElem*, double> dummy(0, 0.0);
int idx(-99);
for(size_t i = 0; i < m_throatConductances.size(); ++i)
{
int tmp(m_throatConductances[i].first->orenIndex());
if(tmp == idx) m_throatConductances[i] = dummy;
idx = tmp;
}
The error i get is
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'const RockElem *'
1> Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
The error is with this part of the class- using a const before the term RockElem*
[
_Ty1=const RockElem *,
_Ty2=double,
_Ty=int,
_Other1=int,
_Other2=double
]
see reference to function template instantiation 'std::_Pair_base<_Ty1,_Ty2>::_Pair_base<_Ty,double>(_Other1 &&,_Other2 &&)' being compiled
The line of code using this is
pair<RockElem*, double> dummy(0, 0.0);
Is this not set properly?
The error message
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'const
RockElem *' 1>
is clear enough. You are trying to convert an object of an integral type to pointer RockElem *. Are you sure you want to do this? If so then follow the advice of the compiler you gave in the error message.
maybe you would know, I get an error:
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast
It goes to ' file in MS VS 2010 folder:
template<class _Other1,
class _Other2>
_Pair_base(_Other1&& _Val1, _Other2&& _Val2)
: first(_STD forward<_Other1>(_Val1)),
second(_STD forward<_Other2>(_Val2))
{ // construct from moved values
}
I was looking for different solutions but could not find a correct one.
The error says
'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'EnterFunctor *'
The only part of your code you share is
functors.push_back(make_pair(sessionStartFunc,
pair<EnterFunctor*, ExitFunctor*>(NULL,sessionStartExit)));
If NULL is #defined as 0 this gives you an int but you promised a pair of pointers, so as the next line of the error says you can use a cast to make NULL the right type of pointer.
