ads_printf problem

DWhiteley — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 14:56:49 GMT

Guys,

I've got some old code with this defined:

#define DEBUGSTR(str) ads_printf("\n%s Line: %d String " #str " = '%s'", __FILE__, __LINE__, str)

the call is:

if (DEBUG_COMMAND_ERROR()) DEBUGSTR(_LAYER);

_LAYER is defined as:

#define _LAYER "_.LAYER\0"

I'm getting this error:

Error 2 error C2664: 'acutPrintf' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [31]' to 'const ACHAR *'

I obviously need to make it UNICODE correct.

Can anyone point in the right direction on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

#define DEBUGSTR(str) acutPrintf(L"\n%s Line: %d String " #str L" = '%s'", __FILE__, __LINE__, str)

#define _LAYER        L"_.LAYER\0"

Thanks for that Alexander

Now I'm getting:

Error 1 error C2308: concatenating mismatched strings

#define WIDEN2(x) L ## x
#define WIDEN(x) WIDEN2(x)
#define __WFILE__ WIDEN(__FILE__)

#define DEBUGSTR(str) acutPrintf(L"\n%s Line: %d String " #str L" = '%s'", __WFILE__, __LINE__, str)
#define _LAYER        L"_.LAYER\0"
void CheckDebugStr()
{
  DEBUGSTR(_LAYER);
}

Result of execution code:

acrxEntryPoint.cpp Line: 18 String _LAYER = '_.LAYER'
