About C++ Nodes
-
You can use the Visual Studio debugger for debugging C++ nodes, which is a very nice workflow (so nice that I'm doing this more often than actually writing SNEX code lol).
The setup is really simple:
- Build the Debug version (or Minimal Build configuration) of HISE.
- Export the dll.
- Open the solution (.sln) file in VS2022. It can be found under DspNetworks/Binaries/Builds/VisualStudio2022.
- Choose "Debug" as configuration. Head over to the project properties and ensure that the HISE debug binary is being set as debugging command (the solution should have filled this out for you automatically)
- Compile the solution from within VS2022. When it's done (which should take < 30 s), it should open HISE automatically
- Add a hardcoded FX and select the node you want to debug
- Add breakpoints & profit

@Christoph-Hart
I will test this and then close the topic if all goes well!
Thanks for your response, I've been working on this in the dark a bit for a few weeks, I'll be very happy to have this working

Okay the bit that I'm struggling with is:
"Head over to the project properties and ensure that the HISE debug binary is being set as debugging command (the solution should have filled this out for you automatically)"I'm not sure what this means.
I've got both the debug and the release version of HISE built on my PC now.
I go into my hise project files and find "projectname .sln"
Opening that up in visual studio and building it as debug, doesn't open up HISE automatically.
I'm guessing it's because it's using the release version of HISE instead of the debugging version?

@griffinboy project properties in visual studio once you open the solution

I did this and it still didn't launch hise as expected once built : (
This was obviously the wrong thing, Christoph talks about pointing it at hise debug, but I'm not sure where to do this.
"Check that HISE debug binary is being set as debugging command "Perhaps it's something I have to write here?

@griffinboy
bump. Apologies -
@griffinboy Womp womp

You're almost there, you need to right-click the "Parallel Bandpasses_DynamicLibrary", not the Solution. It's the first nested entry in the solution browser.
Then, check the path set to "Command", visible when navigating "Configuration Properties" -> "Debugging". This path needs to reference your HISE binary.Save and hit run

Okay I solved it.
I think I'll make a whole video about this process later for any noobs like myself. -
@griffinboy that would be epic for a noob like myself!

It's in the works!
I've spent two months diving into the source code,
to find the best practices for writing dsp in Hise.
It's a deep rabbit hole, but luckily I'm getting close.I'm looking forward to releasing a lot of freebies and sharing my templates.
