Compile warnings.
 

Hello all.

Im having an issue during compile. Was wondering if anyone knew how to handle this or is this something not to worry about.

ie: c:\EqEmu Files\Source\EQEMu-07-31-04\zone\mob.h(545) : warning C4172: returning address of local variable or temporary
embxs.cpp

This is one of many.

Thanks

Its complaining that values aren't predefined in the .h file, you would have to find where the variable was initiated and set a default value.

Thanks image. Now i know where to start looking.

Actually,

It is complaining because the function is defined as retruning a reference to a variable, and it is returning a local variable. The local variable technically does not exist once the function returns, because it is out of scope. So you are returning a reference to a variable which does not exist from the perspective of the caller.

inline const bool& IsRooted() { return rooted || permarooted; }

there is no reason this function should return a reference, as doing an assignment on the returned value dosent make any sense (besides the fact that it is const), and that is the reason to return a reference.

simple fix is:
inline const bool IsRooted() { return rooted || permarooted; }
