Re: Trying to work C++ Connector x64 with Visual Studio 2010

[Christopher Rohlfs]

Apparently, my problem is that the pointers are getting garbled. If I type:

string host = "tcp://127.0.0.1:3306";
string user = "root";
string password = "mypassword";
con = driver->connect(host, user, password);

in place of the previous command of

con = driver->connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3306", "root", "mypassword");

my program thinks I've asked it to connect to a server with a bizarre combination of characters. This interpretation is consistent with another reason for "access violation," which is a known incompatibility between Debug and Release in C++ Connector, due to different pointer sizes.

I'm still working on how to solve whatever problem is arising in pointer sizes. Any possibilities?

Thanks,
