GB_AttributeRef in Houdini 11

[ssh]

Hello

I'm porting c++ plugin from Houdini 10 to 11.

This plugin deals with uv.

Original code:

TOPOLOGY t;
...
int uvid = -1;
if(t.hasUV) uvid = gdp->addVertexAttrib("uv",sizeof(UT_Vector3),GB_ATTRIB_FLOAT,GB_ATTRIB_INFO_NONE,NULL);

index = 0;

//for each vertex in each polygon
    if(t.hasUV)
    {
	GEO_Vertex& vtx = (*poly)(j); //j is number a number of vertex in polygon, i.e. first, second, third etc ;
        vtx.initAttributeData(gdp);

	float* uv = (float *)vtx.getAttribData(uvid);
	uv[0] = t.u[index];
        uv[1] = t.v[index];
	uv[2] = 0.0;

    }

With Houdini 10 this works fine.

But wont compile in 11 with error:

"cannot convert from 'GB_AttributeRef' to 'int'"

in that line :

if(t.hasUV) uvid = gdp->addVertexAttrib("uv",sizeof(UT_Vector3),GB_ATTRIB_FLOAT,GB_ATTRIB_INFO_NONE,NULL);

If changing type of uvid from "int uvid" to "GB_AttributeRef uvid"

then receiving error:

'GB_AttributeElem::getAttribData' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'GB_AttributeRef' to 'int'

in that line :

float* uv = (float *)vtx.getAttribData(uvid);

After reading this:

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/hdk11.0/hdk_changes_11_0.html#HDK_Changes_11_0_GbHowTo

I've tried to use "getValue<int>(uvid)" in new code but no success.

How can one convert this uvid from GB_AttributeRef type to int type, to refer to it as vertex index?

Just solved this task using vtx.castAttribData()
