module programming - step 2

[lobz]

2. Right after you include module.h, try these lines:

#undef putlog
#define putlog ((int(*)(...))global[197])

That solved the problem, but i get the same error with dprintf. Is this a global problem with functions having "..." in the parameter list?

I'm using now gcc but i renamed the file to <name>.cpp

Ok, I did the same thing with dprintf. Is there a global way to do this for all functions?

Another problem: when compiling the file with .c extension the module loads fine but compiled with .cpp it sais:
base: Error loading module: base.so: undefined symbol: base_start__Fv

The module's name is "base"

I solved thisone. I put the base_start function's declaration in extern "C" {}

The previous problem is still unsolved:)

Look in module.h for dprintf, copy the line, and do the same thing I did with putlog, in your module after you include module.h.

Well, i've been looking deep in module.h, and I did realy found some usefull funcions.
However i havent found how do I get a user entry (struct userrec *) by a string containig the nick, or how to get the handle by the nick like in TCL (nick2hand).
i've found function get_user_by_nick(char *nick); in userrec.c but this one is not working, i always get a segment violation.

why do i need this? Well im working with a H_raw, i need to check the flags of the user and i only now his nick (in a string). Am I thinking well? Is there another way to do this?

Are you sure get_user_by_nick is crashing? It returns NULL if the nick doesn't match any user. Use putlog() to figure out exactly where it is crashing. You can even add putlogs into userrec.c. This will help a lot in debugging.

Now I have a problem with the nmalloc and nfree macros. What should I to to be usable in C++? The problem is the same as with putlog and dprintf.

compile your bot with debug: 'make debug' and use gdb to see where it failed ('gdb eggdrop core').
