Image-loading extentions compile error

Bugs
#1

Hi,

I’m attempting to use the image loading extensions Image Loader or Defold-PNG but run into the same compile error with both:

/imageloader/src/extension.cpp
	Line 138: non-aggregate type 'dmScript::LuaHBuffer' cannot be initialized with an initializer list
                dmScript::LuaHBuffer lua_buffer = {buffer, true};
                                     ^            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And

/png/src/png.cpp
	Line 132: non-aggregate type 'dmScript::LuaHBuffer' cannot be initialized with an initializer list
            dmScript::LuaHBuffer luabuffer = { buffer, true };
                                 ^           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m not at all familiar with writing extensions for Defold and not sure how to fix it.

Does anyone know what the correct syntax should be?

Thanks

Yes, that’s unfortunately the old syntax.
The new syntax is shown in the documentation.

Thanks for the quick reply!

In the old syntax:

dmScript::LuaHBuffer luabuffer = { buffer, true };

which of these did “true” indicate:

dmScript::OWNER_C 	
dmScript::OWNER_LUA 	
dmScript::OWNER_RES

Thanks

FYI: I’ve updated Defold-PNG to support the new buffer creation API.
