Allegro Debug -Abort() Has Been Called

Question

I tried to make an animation and Visual Studio gives the error Debug -Abort() Has Been Called.

Code:

#include <allegro5\allegro.h>
#include <allegro5\allegro_native_dialog.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_image.h>

const int WIDTH = 1000;
const int HEIGHT = 600;
bool exit = false;

const int maxFrame = 12;
int curFrame = 0;
int frameCount = 0;
int frameDelay = 5;


int main()
{
    ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display = NULL;
    ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *event_queue = NULL;
    ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer;
    ALLEGRO_BITMAP *image[maxFrame];

    if(!al_init())
    {
        return -1;
    }

    display = al_create_display(WIDTH, HEIGHT);

    if(!display)
    {
        return -1;
    }

    al_install_keyboard;
    al_init_image_addon;

    image[0] = al_load_bitmap("walking w0000.bmp");
    image[1] = al_load_bitmap("walking w0001.bmp");

    image[10] = al_load_bitmap("walking w0010.bmp");
    image[11] = al_load_bitmap("walking w0011.bmp");

    for(int i = 0; i < maxFrame; i++)
    {
        al_convert_mask_to_alpha(image[i], al_map_rgb(106, 76, 48));
    }

    event_queue = al_create_event_queue();
    timer = al_create_timer(1.0 / 60);

    al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_timer_event_source(timer));
    al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_keyboard_event_source());

    al_start_timer(timer);

    while(!exit)
    {
        ALLEGRO_EVENT ev;
        al_wait_for_event(event_queue, &ev);

        if(ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_DOWN)
        {
            switch(ev.keyboard.keycode)
            {
            case ALLEGRO_KEY_ESCAPE:
                exit = true;
                break;
            case ALLEGRO_KEY_LEFT:

            {

                }
                frameCount = 0;
            }
        }

        al_draw_bitmap(image[curFrame], 200, 100, 0);

        al_flip_display();
        al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(0, 0, 0)); 

    }

    for(int i = 0; i < maxFrame; i++)
    {
        al_destroy_bitmap(image[i]);
    }
    al_destroy_event_queue(event_queue);
    al_destroy_display(display);

    return 0;

Answer 1

The first error is in the inclusion of the Allegro 5 files:

#include <allegro5\allegro.h>
#include <allegro5\allegro_native_dialog.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_image.h>

You are mistakenly using ' to include the first two files. Use '/' instead of ' when referring to files. (If you want to know why, basically ' ' is a special character in C and C++ that performs several operations with strings, so it is avoided.)

Your second error is in the lack of startup of the Addons you included. Always, at all times that will make any program with Allegro 5, initialize your files. In case the files that need initialization are the allegro.h and the allegro_image.h. To initialize the allegro.h, put at the beginning of the program the following macro:

int main() {
     al_init();

To initialize allegro_image. h, put after the al_init() the following function:

     al_init_image_addon();

The last error of your program refers to the lack of reference to Allegro 5 and its Dlls in Visual Studio. To resolve this issue, right-click your Visual Studio project, go to properties, then select Configuration Properties>>Linker>>Input, and in the field "Additional Dependencies" enter the name of your current library (in case I assume you want it to be a debug version of the library), ie: "Allegro-5.x. x-Monolith-Md-debug.lib" (Replace "x.x" with your version of Allegro 5. Mine for example is 5.0.10).

Editing: Another serious mistake you made was:

al_install_keyboard;
al_init_image_addon;

You forgot to add parentheses after the function names. The compiler will find that you are wanting to say something else by simply putting the function name in the code. The correct way is:

al_install_keyboard();
al_init_image_addon();

Fixed these errors, it is almost certain that your program will work.
