gInternalFiles - denville - 05-17-2021
Hi, C++ Builder XE7, IW 15.0 22
I am maintaining an application built some years ago using IW14. (I know my current IW is behind in updates but it serves me well and to update it unnecessarily is a nightmare of administration). The app in question has the following line in ServerController.cpp:
gInternalFiles->Add( "IW_JS_JSENCRYPT", "/js/jsencrypt.js" );
Compilation fails at -> with error Pointer to structure required on left side of -> or ->*
I have checked the definition of gInternalFiles which is similar to the IW14 version and I am at a loss why compilation now fails.
Thanks,
Denville.

Fixed it - gInternalFiles is (now ?) a function, gInternalFiles()-> does the trick.
Funny it didn't need that before.

Thanks for letting us know that you solved it.

Hi Denville,
Thanks for the feedback.
gInternalFiles used to be a variable and it became a function with the same name. As you may know, in Delphi you can omit the parenthesis of function calls if there are no parameters, so gInternalFiles alone works for both a variable referencing an object or a function returning an instance of the same object. The same is not true for C++, so you are correct.
