[aspectc-user] Aspect C++ and Symbian

[Marti Bayo-alemany]

Hi all,
I want to point out two things.
I am actually using whole program transformation to deal with the symbian 
project (WPT).
The reason is the dificulty to integrate ac++ into the makefiles from the 
build process of symbian.
I know that WPT is deprecated and I guess that is because it needs a huge 
amount of memory to process the project. On my case more than 500 Mb. 
However my computer has enough memory so I keep on it first.

The second thing is a bug of Aspect C++. Something which is actually not 
working good with ac++

C:/MySource/MobileNeroDigital/neroplayer/nero_gui/Symbian/AspectC/src-ah-in/NEventManager.cpp:141: 
error: invalid operand to unary `&'
The offending line is ...
    m_ITrackInfoCache->FlushSetInfoQueue(&NAbortHandler());

Which is defined as ...
 virtual void FlushSetInfoQueue(NeroBase::IAbortHandler * p_abort) = 0;

where NAbortHandler is ...
 class NAbortHandler : public NeroBase::IAbortHandler

The solution was  to change that...

  m_ITrackInfoCache->FlushSetInfoQueue(&NAbortHandler());

...for that ...
   NAbortHandler l_AbortHandler;
    m_ITrackInfoCache->FlushSetInfoQueue(&l_AbortHandler);

Hope that helps.
Best wishes,
Marti
