Macro Definition Documentation

#define oslDebug

(

format...

)

({ char __str2[1000], __str[1000]; sprintf(__str2, "Debug (%s:%i,%s)",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__,__FILE__); sprintf(__str , ##format); oslMessageBox(__str, __str2, oslMake3Buttons(OSL_KEY_CROSS,OSL_MB_OK,OSL_KEY_TRIANGLE,OSL_MB_QUIT,0,0)); })

Displays a debug message, with the same format as printf. The title displays the file, the line number and the function from where it has been called. The following example displays 'var = 2' in a message box, where you can either continue execution (close the message box) either quit your application directly (press triangle):

int var = 2;
oslDebug("var = %i", var);

#define oslMake3Buttons	(		b1,
			a1,
			b2,
			a2,
			b3,
			a3
	)		((b1)|((a1)<<5)|((b2)<<9)|((a2)<<14)|((b3)<<18)|((a3)<<23))

Creates a 32-bit integer to be used for the 'flags' parameter when calling oslMessageBox. There are 6 arguments, 2 per button. The first one of each pair represents the button assigned (one of the OSL_KEY_BITS values) and the second one represents the action (one of OSL_MB_ACTIONS values).

//We only have 2 buttons, one which is "ok", assigned to the cross button, and one "cancel" assigned to the circle button. A double zero means no button.
oslMessageBox("Message text", "Message title", oslMake3Buttons(OSL_KEY_CROSS, OSL_MB_OK, OSL_KEY_CIRCLE, OSL_MB_CANCEL, 0, 0));

#define oslWarning

(

format...

)

({ char __str[1000]; sprintf(__str , ##format); oslMessageBox(__str, "Warning", oslMake3Buttons(OSL_KEY_CROSS,OSL_MB_OK,OSL_KEY_TRIANGLE,OSL_MB_QUIT,0,0)); })

Same as oslDebug, except that it displays a warning message instead.

#define oslFatalError

(

format...

)

({ char __str[1000]; sprintf(__str , ##format); oslMessageBox(__str, "Fatal error", oslMake3Buttons(OSL_KEY_CROSS,OSL_MB_QUIT,0,0,0,0)); })

Same as oslDebug, except that it displays a fatal error message instead. You cannot continue the execution from here, the only available choice is 'Quit', so you are sure this function is a dead end and no one will ever return from there.

#define oslAssert

(

cond

)

({ if (!(cond)) { char __str[1000]; sprintf(__str , "This program encountered a fatal error and must be terminated.\n\nFile : %s:%i\nError: %s",__FILE__,__LINE__,""#cond); oslMessageBox(__str, "Fatal error", oslMake3Buttons(OSL_KEY_CROSS,OSL_MB_QUIT,0,0,0,0)); } })

Displays a fatal error message if the condition is not satisfied.

//Try to load an image
OSL_IMAGE *img = oslLoadImageFilePNG("test.png", OSL_IN_RAM | OSL_SWIZZLED, OSL_PF_5551);
//Make sure the image pointer is not NULL (meaning the loading failed).
oslAssert(img != NULL);
//Note that the 'img != NULL' condition can be replaced with 'img' (this is a feature of the C language)
//So the following code is equivalent but shorter to write:
oslAssert(img);
//Also you could do something like this:
if (!img)               {
        //Displays an error message box
        oslMessageBox("The image test.png could not be loaded...", "Error", oslMake3Buttons(OSL_KEY_CROSS, OSL_MB_OK, 0, 0, 0, 0));
        //Exit as some important resource is missing
        oslQuit();
}
//We will only get there if the image was loaded successfully.
