Howdy,

There seems to be a problem with the c4d_memory.h file and compiling with Codewarrior v9 for Mac (OSX and Classic).

The two problem lines are:

void operator delete(void *p);
void operator delete[](void *p);

If these line are commented out, along with the coresponding calls from c4d_memory.cpp:

void operator delete(void *p)
{
     if (p)
     {
          void *temp=p;
          C4DOS.Ge->Free(temp);
     }
}

void operator delete[](void *p)
{
     if (p)
     {
          void *temp=p;
          C4DOS.Ge->Free(temp);
     }
}

...then the SDK will compile, but Cinema 4D will crash if you try to delete a "C++SDK-Look at Camera Expression" tag, so these two lines are very important.

The compiler error is "exception specification list mismatch" and it says this in the CW reference:

C/C++ Error 10265

exception specification list mismatch
The exception specification lists for a function declaration and a function definition do not match.

void f() throw(int);
// exception specification list mismatch
void f() throw(long) {}

Fix
Use a matching exception specification.
void f() throw(int);
void f() throw(int) {}

When I looked up "operator delete" and "operator delete[] in the CW reference, it says this:

Operator delete frees memory allocated with operator new.
void operator delete(void* ptr) throw();

void operator delete(void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) throw();

Operator delete[] is used in conjunction with operator new[] for array allocations.
void operator delete[](void* ptr) throw();

void operator delete[](void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) throw();

The only difference between the SDK and the example in the CW reference is the "throw()" at the end of the line. If I add this to the two lines in the c4d_memory.h and c4d_memory.cpp then the SDK will compile but I get two warnings:

deleting a void pointer is undefined (delete p;) and it points to these lines from c4d_memory.cpp:

// for STL
void operator delete(void *p, int line,const CHAR *file)
{
delete p;
}

void operator delete[](void *p, int line,const CHAR *file)
{
delete[] p;
}

Is this going to cause problems? I'm not sure I understand the significance of the "throw()" that I added to the lines and will that also cause problems? The SDK plug in seems to be working in Cinema 4D and I can delete the "C++SDK-Look at Camera Expression" tag without crashing.

I'm a little reluctant to proceed. Any insights on this situation?

Adios,
Cactus Dan

You can safely edit the c4d_memory files in the API folder as the above (and the more recent post on the subject) indicate. As C4D doesn't use exceptions anywhere it shouldn't really matter, and the other point just means that CW has stricter language lawyers.
