Get path to user's "Application Support" folder
Post: #1
I need to get the path to the user's "Application Support" folder, where I intend to do some operations using Boost's file-system library. I tried just using "~/Library/Application Support/", but Boost doesn't seem to recognize it.

Thank you.
Now, most of my project is in C++. I've tried writing a function in Objective C that uses a plain C interface (as in, it doesn't have any Cocoa parameters or return values) but I keep getting linker errors when I try to use the function in C++ code.

That did the trick. I forgot about the thing with Obj. C being a strict superset of C. Thank you.
Update
I'm still getting a few problems though. I'm trying to copy the path to a c-string (since C++ can't use NSString). However, the path seems to get cut short, and I end up with "/Users/<my username>/Library/Application Suppor" (note the lack of 't').
This is my function. The path is meant to be stored in the string pointed to by path_dbptr.

Code:
int getApplicationDataPath(char **path_dbptr)
{
int result = FALSE;
NSString *destinationPath;
NSArray *allPaths
= NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSApplicationSupportDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, TRUE);
if ([allPaths count] > 0)
{
destinationPath = [allPaths objectAtIndex:0];
*path_dbptr = (char *)malloc([destinationPath
lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
if ([destinationPath getCString:*path_dbptr
maxLength:[destinationPath
lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding])
{
result = TRUE;
}
}
return result;
}
