Validate plugin parameters freezes Hise

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart Oh wait... It was working in debug because I didn't recompiled my DLL (which is btw annoying when switching from release to debug to release...).
Now they are recompiled and the projects loads entirely in debug, the parameter validation freezes here too...

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart I'm hitting this on parameter validation. (Freq is a NaN for some reason, I checked my networks, nothing fancy, all value are set between 750 and 7500 throughout the whole parameter chain)

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart So I removed the last biquad and replaced it with an SVF so the assertion disappeared.
Now I get this one, signing the end of my debugging skills...

[ustk]

@ustk It looks like there are so many different things.
The last one was because of hasTail set in the networks. Once disabled the assertion goes away. But it's still freezing on parameter validation, and this time no crash to tell what is happening

[ustk]

Gotcha!!! the culprit is:

const var global_LAF = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();

global_LAF.registerFunction("getAlertWindowMarkdownStyleData", function(obj)
{
    obj.font = "Regular";
    obj.fontSize = 16.0;
    obj.textColour = fontColour;
    
    return obj;
});

Interfering with the parameter validation result message of Hise:

Quick recap:

• biquad freq is NaN for whatever reason
• hasTail assertion
• getAlertWindowMarkdownStyleData interference

@ustk Excellent detective work!

[Christoph Hart]

@ustk good catch but are you using the latest version? Because I swapped the ScopedReadLock at callDefinedFunction with a ScopedTryReadLock so that it doesn't deadlock when another thread holds the write lock, but your call stack still implies that it uses the ScopedReadLock.

The other things are noise.

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart yep definitely the last after deleting the build folder for a clean new build

[Christoph Hart]

@ustk yeah, I'm the idiot, I forgot to include the line with the actual fix in the commit...

Try again now, it should now work correctly. If it still keeps freezing in Release mode I'll take another look.

@Christoph-Hart That was it! Thanks Chris!
