Exported VST causing Access Violations

[d.healey]

@Adam_G Everything's easier to debug in standalone so if you get the problem there it will help

@d-healey no crashes on windows standalone. my Mac vm is very slow so its still currently exporting but I think this may be the same issue. my project too uses the midi overlay panel https://forum.hise.audio/topic/4656/midi-overlay-panels-in-compiled-plugin-crashing-daws/22?_=1684334539180

nope still crashing on Mac even after implementing this. no problems in standalone but it only happens when I close and reload the plugin. I'm unclear how to use the debug version once its compiled though

[d.healey]

@Adam_G Run it from within xcode. There should be a way to attach it (xcode's debugger) to a DAW instance (I'm not familiar enough with xcode, there is probably a YouTube video for it).

[Adam_G]

@d-healey I think you're the only one who makes YouTube videos on hise :crying_face:

[d.healey]

@Adam_G But I'm not the only one who makes videos about debugging with xcode :)

[Adam_G]

@d-healey i found one other one! xD ( big thanks to @Dan-Korneff )

now my mac virtual machine is apparently too slow to build the debug version in xcode without getting out of memory errors smh.

can i get the same info from doing this process on windows? that question is mostly for @Christoph-Hart

[d.healey]

@Adam_G I think you can avoid the memory issue if you reduce the number of compile threads (don't ask me how)

@d-healey

defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXNumberOfParallelBuildSubtasks 8

in terminal to reduce compile threads

[Adam_G]

@d-healey still seems to be hanging on 299 of 302 steps :(

Sure, if it also crashes on Windows, you can debug it there, no need to run a VM.

[Adam_G]

@Christoph-Hart thanks Christoph :)

How long did you wait?

[Adam_G]

@d-healey its still running right now

[d.healey]

@Adam_G Yeah that's not right

[Adam_G]

@d-healey i shut it down, but now im struggling to complete the process in visual studio as the instructions are for xcode. i can compile the .vcxproj but i cant see where to set the daw to open it with

[Christoph Hart]

@Adam_G VS Menu -> Project -> Properties (last item) -> Debugging -> Command -> Browse.

[Adam_G]

@Christoph-Hart thank you! on windows vsts dont compile directly to the vst folder. do i need to set that for my working directory ? im using Reaper and the vst isnt showing up when i start debugging

[Adam_G]

anybody out there familiar with debugging in visual studio?
