Custom text handling for SFML String

The is most likely because SFML implements the equality operator as a class method instead of a global function. Try changing the registration to the following:


r = engine->RegisterObjectMethod("string", "bool opEquals(const string ∈) const", asMETHODPR(sf::String, operator ==, (const sf::String &) const, bool), asCALL_THISCALL); assert( r >= 0 );


Hopefully it should work. If not, please post what the SFML string class looks like.

The string type is really just an ordinary type in AngelScript, and is registered just like that with the only exception being the additional string factory. I include registration for the std::string because it is the most common, but many developers use their own implementation.



std::basic_string is a completely different type than std::basic_string, a.k.a std::string, so the fact that both are implemented from the same template doesn't really make things any easier here.

Never mind I worked out what was wrong.
I was not using namespace sf which is where the global function operators was declared.

I could get around it by using that name space or using the asFUNCTIONPR

asFUNCTIONPR(sf::operator +, (const sf::String &, const sf::String &), sf::String)


all that frustration for something so stupid.

[s]With that change i get the following as an error

error: 'operator==' is not a member of 'sf::String'|


I also think the function version matches it better.


It uses this outside of the class declaration. like so

SFML_SYSTEM_API bool operator ==(const String& left, const String& right);


There must be something really stupid I am doing
