Hi all,

This is how it was done in simul/gl/glut.c, which worked with (32-bit) picoLisp-2.3.5:

// (glut:BitmapCharacter 'fontNum 'character) -> T
any BitmapCharacter(any ex) {
    void* font;
    int fontNum;
    int character;

    fontNum = (int)evCnt(ex, cdr(ex));
    character = (int)evCnt(ex, cddr(ex));
    switch (fontNum) {
        // These GLUT_BITMAP values are system dependent.
        case 2: font = GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15;    break;
        case 3: font = GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13;    break;
        case 4: font = GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10;    break;
        case 5: font = GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24;    break;
        case 6: font = GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10;    break;
        case 7: font = GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12;    break;
        case 8: font = GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18;    break;
        default: font = GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24;    break;
    }
    //printf("BitmapCharacter, font = %10p\n", font);
    glutBitmapCharacter(font, character);
    return T;
}

// (glut:StrokeCharacter 'mono 'character) -> T
any StrokeCharacter(any ex) {
    void* font = GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN;
    int mono;
    int character;

    mono = (int)evCnt(ex, cdr(ex));    // correct? - jk
    character = (int)evCnt(ex, cddr(ex));
    if (mono) font = GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN;
    glutStrokeCharacter(font, character);
    return T;
}

.. and this is how it was called in my china.l:

(glut:BitmapCharacter FontNum (char Chr))

I know that parameters in calls to C library functions are done quite differently nowadays, in pil64.

Hi Jon,

work to make OpenGl.l a little more complete (lots missing). The problem
I have right now, is with glutBitmapCharacter and glutStrokeCharacter;
they give me "Segmentation fault", and I suspect they'll fail on Linux
as well.
Yes. At least 'glutStrokeCharacter' does.


I'm wondering whether (or why)

    (glutStrokeCharacter 2 (char "A"))

is correct, as the corresponding C function signature is

   void glutStrokeCharacter(void *font, int character);

i.e. '2' is a "pointer".


#if defined(_WIN32)
/* Stroke font constants (use these in GLUT program). */
#define GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN               ((void*)0)
#define GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN          ((void*)1)
..
#else
..
#define GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN               (&glutStrokeRoman)
#define GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN          (&glutStrokeMonoRoman)
..
#endif




I faintly remember I saw this usage before (perhaps in your OpenGl /
ErsatzLisp code?), and it seems passing '2' as a pointer is legal use.
But then I have no idea why it crashes.

Cheers,
