develop crashes my project

[iamlamprey]

hello friends I just got my Mac setup and compiled develop branch, but when i open the NEAT player project (developed on master) it crashes instantly. I just tested it on my windows machine as well and get the same result

how can I start to debug this master -> develop transition?

Run HISE in the debugger and report the stacktrace of the crashes - or subsequently remove elements from your project to isolate the problem.

@christoph-hart said in develop crashes my project:

Run HISE in the debugger

How does one do this? Sorry I'm new to debugging, been lucky so far I think...

I built HISE for debug in VS, I assume that's step one

[Matt_SF]

@iamlamprey just open HISE in VS (file>open project/solution) and launch debuggin process (new to this too but i do it like this)

[iamlamprey]

@matt_sf Yes that works thank you!

@Christoph-Hart What should I be posting here? Something like...

Exception thrown: read access violation.
__that was 0x20.

Line 494 of the MacroControlBroadcaster.h file

[Matt_SF]

@iamlamprey the error message gives you info about what is making everything crash. What you can try is opening the script in an external editor and remove/comment the parts where you're using macro controls an reopen the project (obviously you want to backup your project first )

Just throwing an idea here, but the point is to isolate the problem so you can load your project and see what you can do to fix it.

[iamlamprey]

@matt_sf Yeah it seems like it's a macro problem, which is unfortunate because the player relies on them pretty heavily... Thanks for your help

[Matt_SF]

@iamlamprey But when you'll isolate the function which is making hise crash, you can rewrite it so you won't loose everything. Maybe it's the whole thing, maybe it's just a tiny function...
Of course regarding your NEAT project it wont be easy (nice one btw!)
Maybe one of our HISE gurus will have more knowledge about how to proceed...

That doesn't exist. Can you make a screenshot of the stack trace at the crash?

@iamlamprey How many copies of the HISE source do you have on your system?

Your thread title is wrong, develop doesn't crash your project, your project crashes develop

[iamlamprey]

@d-healey Just the one, the mac was a clean install as well

Your thread title is wrong, develop doesn't crash your project, your project crashes develop

this probably could have been avoided if i was up to date on the develop/new layout and squashed this weeks ago, i was holding off using it in case it caused an error but now I regret it lol

[Christoph Hart]

@iamlamprey It crashes somewhere in scriptnode, so I would recommend removing all modules that use scriptnode to isolate the one that is faulty.

[iamlamprey]

@christoph-hart Okay I'll give that a try, thanks for taking a look
