Hi,

How can I set SMC_SetReaders callback within methodmap?

PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

#include <sourcemod>

methodmap GameDataEx < KeyValues
{
    public GameDataEx(char[] gameconf)
    {
        KeyValues kv = new KeyValues("Games");
        // ...
        SMCParser parser = new SMCParser();

        // error 166: cannot use 'this' outside of a methodmap method or property
        // 
        SMC_SetReaders(parser, this.Config_NewSection, INVALID_FUNCTION, INVALID_FUNCTION);
        // ...
        return view_as<GameDataEx>(kv);
    }
    
    // Alternate:
    public void Parse()
    {
        SMCParser parser = new SMCParser();

        // error 105: cannot find method or property GameDataEx.Config_NewSection
        // 
        SMC_SetReaders(parser, this.Config_NewSection, INVALID_FUNCTION, INVALID_FUNCTION);
    }
    
    public SMCResult Config_NewSection(SMCParser smc, const char[] name, bool opt_quotes)
    {
        // ...
        return SMCParse_Continue;
    }
}

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    GameDataEx gd;
    gd = new GameDataEx("cfg.txt");    
} 


Thank you.

No, here is conflict.

GameDataEx::Config_NewSection is not static and require "this" argument to be passed.
// SMCResult GameDataEx::Config_NewSection(GameDataEx this, SMCParser smc, const char[] name, bool opt_quotes)
SMC_SetReaders sets requirement for function prototype https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/te...SMC_NewSection
SMCResult (SMCParser smc, const char[] name, bool opt_quotes)

I see. So, it is impossible to encapsulate it within a methodmap?
I'm not sure if SourcePawn supports the "static" keyword. I tried it and compiler doesn't throw an error.
However it still cannot find the method.

public static SMCResult Config_NewSection(SMCParser smc, const char[] name, bool opt_quotes)

Kailo, ahh, you mean, that each methodmap's method implicitly contains "this" as a first hidden argument, and that's why it doesn't match with the expected prototype.
That's explain everything. Thanks.

This is one of the things that SP needs "fat" function references to support, which has been pretty hard to do with all the code assuming functions can be converted to ints - that is finally now a compile error, so this sort of thing should be unblocked.
