[VSDK] kFBL_AssertionNULL exception

[Eric Forget]

Hi Ruslan,

I've lost a few hours to figure out why Valentina was throwing
kFBL_AssertionNULL.

1) kFBL_AssertionNULL is completely meaningless to the user (of the API).
You should try to figure better name of the exception (at least for v2).

2) The problem was caused because I wrote something like this:

    mTable.mField1 = mTable.Field2;

Both were VDK_String. You have not overloaded the operator= (const
VDK_String &), so it was a copy, byte by byte, that was happening. Since you
are making an API, not just some classes for you, you should either:

a) Declare the operator as private to prohibit its usage

b) Implement it inline, which should be fairly easy:

 FBL_EXP virtual void               operator= ( const VDK_String & inValue )
                                    {
                                        *this = (const char *)inValue;
                                    }

And that for each of the fields.

Thanks,

Éric
