how do I debug project crashes?

[A Former User]

dumb question but my latest delve into reverb DSP crashes on opening, all of the XML files and networks validate just fine but I get a memory error

crash is the same for debug and release, how do I start figuring out where it's crashing?

Sadly this was no help at all to me....;-(

@Lindon @iamlamprey I don't know if that will be useful to you but, recently I also experienced crashes while opening a somewhat old project of mine. Turns out the culprit was a scriptnode fx module (not really a complex one...).

I deleted it and was able to open the project with the latest HISE version.

yeh my reverb DSP network has completely imploded, debug just says some vague memory address error, thankfully it was just a side-project and nothing i was too seriously focussed on

@iamlamprey i got this error too in VS17.
What I did, I revert HISE to the commit I used to build the plugin, screenshot and noted down the details, deleted it from the project and came back to the latest commit where I rebuilt the scriptnode module. Luckily it was a small one

@matt_sf sadly.. I have no scriptnode elements in my project - and its the single biggest and most important piece of work I've been doing for the last 2 years.....
