Polygon tessellation problem

[vr]

Hi! I have encountered compile-time error when I try to use tessellator for concave polygon. Anyone know why is this so?

VC++ 6.0 Compile-time Error:
------------------------------
error C2664: 'gluTessCallback' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'void (unsigned int)' to 'void (__stdcall *)(void)'
None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type

part of my code:
-----------------
glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);
glColor3f(0.42f, 0.35f, 0.03f);
GLdouble tess_ver[3];
GLUtesselator* tess;
tess = gluNewTess();

gluTessCallback(tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, glBegin);
gluTessCallback(tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, glVertex3dv);
gluTessCallback(tess, GLU_TESS_END, glEnd);

gluTessBeginPolygon(tess, NULL);
gluTessBeginContour(tess);
glNormal3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
tess_ver[0] = ...
tess_ver[1] = ...
tess_ver[2] = ...
gluTessVertex(tess, tess_ver, NULL);
gluTessEndContour(tess);
gluEndPolygon(tess);

-----------------
The error is on the line gluTessCallback(.....BEGIN....) and gluTessCallback(.....END....)
but not on the line gluTessCallback(....VERTEX....)
Thanks in advance!!!

This is how it works:

void APIENTRY TessBeginData(GLenum Type,void *Polygon);
void APIENTRY TessEndData(void *Polygon);
void APIENTRY TessEdgeFlagData(GLboolean Flag,void *Polygon);
void APIENTRY TessVertexData(void *Vertex,void *Polygon);
void APIENTRY TessCombineData(GLdouble Coords[3],void *Vertex[4],GLfloat Weight[4],void **Out,void *Polygon);
void APIENTRY TessErrorData(GLenum Errno,void *Polygon);
 
void SetTesselator(void)
{
 
  gluTessCallback(myTesselator,GLU_TESS_BEGIN_DATA,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &TessBeginData);  
  gluTessCallback(myTesselator,GLU_TESS_END_DATA,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &TessEndData);  
  gluTessCallback(myTesselator,GLU_TESS_EDGE_FLAG_DATA,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &TessEdgeFlagData);  
  gluTessCallback(myTesselator,GLU_TESS_VERTEX_DATA,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &TessVertexData);
  gluTessCallback(myTesselator,GLU_TESS_COMBINE_DATA,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &TessCombineData);  
  gluTessCallback(myTesselator,GLU_TESS_ERROR_DATA,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &TessErrorData);  
 
}

In your example, try:

gluTessCallback(tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, ,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &glBegin);
gluTessCallback(tess, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, ,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &glVertex3dv);
gluTessCallback(tess, GLU_TESS_END, ,(void (__stdcall *) (void)) &glEnd);

This is basically a function pointer typecast problem...

Regards.

Thank you very much. However, after trying your suggestion solution, although it can be compiled successfully, the program was abnormally terminated when it runs. Any idea?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

I think you should remove the '&' from Erics suggestion.
