Im getting an error when compiling with nvcc but not with gcc. I cant see a problem with the code and it works fine under gcc. Im loading a bitmap image into memory with this code and im getting this error:
line 82: error: a value of type "char *" cannot be assigned to an
entity of type "unsigned char *"
image->data = (char *) malloc(size);
^
heres the code
struct Image {
int sizeX;
int sizeY;
unsigned char *data;
};
typedef struct Image Image;
int ImageLoad(char *filename, Image *image) {
FILE *file;
unsigned long size; // size of the image in bytes.
unsigned long i; // standard counter.
unsigned short int planes; // number of planes in image (must be 1)
unsigned short int bpp; // number of bits per pixel (must be 24)
char temp; // temporary color storage for bgr-rgb conversion.
// make sure the file is there.
if ((file = fopen(filename, "rb"))==NULL)
{
printf("File Not Found : %s\n",filename);
return 0;
}
// seek through the bmp header, up to the width/height:
fseek(file, 18, SEEK_CUR);
// read the width
if ((i = fread(&image->sizeX, 4, 1, file)) != 1) {
printf("Error reading width from %s.\n", filename);
return 0;
}
printf("Width of %s: %lu\n", filename, image->sizeX);
// read the height
if ((i = fread(&image->sizeY, 4, 1, file)) != 1) {
printf("Error reading height from %s.\n", filename);
return 0;
}
printf("Height of %s: %lu\n", filename, image->sizeY);
// calculate the size (assuming 24 bits or 3 bytes per pixel).
size = image->sizeX * image->sizeY * 3;
printf("\nsize: %d", size);
// read the planes
if ((fread(&planes, 2, 1, file)) != 1) {
printf("Error reading planes from %s.\n", filename);
return 0;
}
printf("\nplanes:%d", planes);
if (planes != 1) {
printf("Planes from %s is not 1: %u\n", filename, planes);
return 0;
}
// read the bpp
if ((i = fread(&bpp, 2, 1, file)) != 1) {
printf("Error reading bpp from %s.\n", filename);
return 0;
}
printf("\nbpp:%d\n", bpp);
if (bpp != 24) {
printf("Bpp from %s is not 24: %u\n", filename, bpp);
return 0;
}
// seek past the rest of the bitmap header.
fseek(file, 24, SEEK_CUR);
//read the data.
printf("\nimage1: %d\n", image->data);
image->data = (char *) malloc(size); //<<<<--------<b>this is line 82 in my code</b>
if (image->data == NULL) {
printf("Error allocating memory for color-corrected image data\n");
return 0;
}
if ((i = fread(image->data, size, 1, file)) != 1) {
printf("Error reading image data from %s.\n", filename);
return 0;
}
for (i=0;i<size;i+=3) { // reverse all of the colors. (bgr -> rgb)
temp = image->data[i];
image->data[i] = image->data[i+2];
image->data[i+2] = temp;
}
return 1;
}
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
