Hello everybody ,
I've just got a code of a certain MUD (CircleMUD based) , and I've been
trying to compile it under my WIN95 MSVC5 system.
It gives me this strange compiler error :
error C2106: "-=" : left operand must be l-value
in this line : GET_MANA(ch) -= 200;
these kind of l-value errors accur during the whole compilation not only
concerning the GET_MANA() macro.
I checked out the GET_MANA macro and found this :
#define GET_MANA(ch) (!IS_NPC(ch) ?
((ch)->player_specials->linking[0] ? \
(ch)->player_specials->manalinked : \
(ch)->points.mana): (ch)->points.mana)
you see , all the l-value errors in the compilation is due to the
? : statements , but the MSVC tells me that a ? : statement can
be an l-vlaue.
So , I don't know what is the problem : is the ? : statement incorrect ,
is anything missing in the definition of the macro ? WHAT ??????
I hope you guys could help me with it ...
