Detailed Description

Base module of cpp3ds, defining various utilities.

It provides vector classes, unicode strings and conversion functions, threads and mutexes, timing classes.

Function Documentation

cpp3ds::err

(

)

Standard stream used by SFML to output warnings and errors.

By default, cpp3ds::err() outputs to the same location as std::cerr, (-> the stderr descriptor) which is the console if there's one available.

It is a standard std::ostream instance, so it supports all the insertion operations defined by the STL (operator <<, manipulators, etc.).

cpp3ds::err() can be redirected to write to another output, independently of std::cerr, by using the rdbuf() function provided by the std::ostream class.

Example:

// Redirect to a file
std::ofstream file("sfml-log.txt");
std::streambuf* previous = cpp3ds::err().rdbuf(file.rdbuf());

// Redirect to nothing
cpp3ds::err().rdbuf(NULL);

// Restore the original output
cpp3ds::err().rdbuf(previous);

Returns

Reference to std::ostream representing the SFML error stream

void cpp3ds::sleep

(

Time

duration

)

Make the current thread sleep for a given duration.

cpp3ds::sleep is the best way to block a program or one of its threads, as it doesn't consume any CPU power.

Parameters

duration

Time to sleep
