error 079: inconsistent return types (array & non-array)

[API]

You are not supposed to return a string to a function. Quite simply put, a String is an array of characters, so the reason it is working is probably the following psuedo-code:

ALLOC "hey" to STRING_POINTER
String:get_string=SomeFunction();
get_string SET TO STRING_POINTER

This might explain why there are "wierd" letters returned as well. Plus, you can not guarentee the life of the string, so eventually the data will be garbage.

I'm assuming sourcemod doesn't allow it in this situation, but do you have any idea how we can put string define values in string define values? Look at the OP

[API]

#define A "hey"
#define B "you"
#define AB A ... B

The macro substition processor now recognizes the "#" character for "stringizing" a parameter. For example, if you have the definition #define log(%1) #%1 Then the expression log(test) will result in "test". Note that concatenation of literal strings requires an ellipsis in Pawn (which is different than C/C++). So to combine the parameter with literal strings, use a syntax like: #define log(%1) "logging: " ... #%1 ... "\n"

... is not working :/

PHP Code:

#define A "hey"
#define B "you"
#define AB A ... B

public OnPluginStart()
{
    PrintToChatAll("%s", AB);
} 


//// abc.sp // abc.sp(7) : error 001: expected token: ",", but found "..." // abc.sp(7) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero // abc.sp(7) : warning 215: expression has no effect // abc.sp(7) : error 001: expected token: ";", but found ")" // abc.sp(7) : fatal error 127: too many error messages on one line

This will work, but it doesn't solve the original problem:

PHP Code:

#define A "hey"
#define B "you"
#define AB A,B

public OnPluginStart()
{
    PrintToChatAll("%s %s", AB, AB);
}

I simply suggest that you separate author and copyright into two strings, and format the final string when using these defines.

Separate data in defines and join them on runtime based on what info you need.

Actually I think this will do it:

The macro substition processor now recognizes the "#" character for "stringizing" a parameter. For example, if you have the definition #define log(%1) #%1

Thanks pimp!

Otherwise you may be forced to stick a strcat() or Format() in your code to format the author string into the copyright string.

For that to work, you will need to omit the quotes around Greyscale.

so:

#define PROJECT_AUTHOR      Greyscale
#define PROJECT_COPYRIGHT_FORMAT(%1) "Copyright (C) 2010  %1"
#define PROJECT_COPYRIGHT  PROJECT_COPYRIGHT_FORMAT(PROJECT_AUTHOR)

That doesn't bode well for the stringizing operator either

Aha, I'll test this out.
