digitalmars.D - glfw callback trouble

reply Hannes <Hannes_member pathlink.com> writes:
I'm having problems with the glfwSetKeyCallback function. It is defined as:
void  glfwSetKeyCallback( GLFWkeyfun cbfun );

GLFWkeyfun is defined as:
typedef void (* GLFWkeyfun)(int, int);

My callback function looks like this:
void keyCallback(int key, int state)

But when I try to set the callback function:
glfwSetKeyCallback(&keyCallback);

I get the following errors:

main.d(99): function glfw.glfwSetKeyCallback (GLFWkeyfun) does not match argumen
t types (void(*)(int state, int key))
main.d(99): cannot implicitly convert expression (#keyCallback) of type void(*)(
int state, int key) to GLFWkeyfun



If I explicitly cast to GLFWkeyfun, the parameters I get are nonsense. I played
a little with it and got it working this way:

void keyCallback(int state, int key, int junk) {...}
glfwSetKeyCallback(cast(GLFWkeyfun)&keyCallback);

So basically I had to switch the parameters and add a third, useless parameter.
I only found this "solution" by accident. Now I'm certain there is a correct way
to do this, this feels like an awful hack.

I really hate these errors but it is usually a calling convention problem.

This works. Thanks a lot! I wonder, where could I have found this information by
myself?

The latest GLFW 2.5 has examples using D.  GLFW is a great library. The 
Lua support in it was started by yours truly.

This is the reason i am using it. :)

It really is great but the only thing i miss is not being able to get to 
the HWND of the window.
