Almost finished compiling annnd unsolvable errror

[Thogora]

Hello OtLand.

I think I am close to finishing compiling TFS1.3 and now I got an error that I cannot solve so I need some help so I can keep on working and get my server up and running.
Using MSVC 2019. The error I am stuck at is "C2664" and it says "'int mysql_options(MYSQL *,mysql_option,const char *)': cannot convert argument 3 from 'bool *' to 'const char *'
The error is in "database.cpp" in line 47 and the code is:

mysql_options(handle, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, &reconnect);

Tried Google to find a solution but I did not find anything that could help me, probably my programming skills that are not enough.

Also I do have over 300 warnings (most of them are the same warning code) and I do wonder do I need to worry about them?

If any more information is needed please say so and I will provide it.

Kind Regards
Thogora

It is sad to see that such simple questions lack of response. I don't know whether community truly doesn't know the solution or no one wants the help. Anyway, simply cast it as mysql_options requires const char* as third parameter (yet bool * is provided):

mysql_options(handle, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, (char*)&reconnect);

No need to cast to const as it is implicit via the parameter type itself. Anyway, I think in some version of MySQL library (I don't know whether an older one or newer one) the third parameter to mysql_options is void * which then can accept any pointer without casting and it wouldn't complain about that.

Regarding the warnings it depends on the warning itself.

@Iryont It works and thanks for explaining the error for me!

About all my warnings, I got 331 C4100, 3x C4189 and 3x C4297. Have not looked in to them yet, might be a simple solution's. Hopefully I will be able to look in them them in the upcoming few days.

Kind regards
