Re: auval and you

Our customers do not give us the luxury of waiting for 2 to 3 years

it reasonable to expect users to live with plugins that might be
scribbling over memory and causing random crashes and so forth for
such a period of time.

Hmmm yeah, to give a "real world example", two of my Destroy FX AUs failed validation with the auval update in 10.4.9 (my bad, I guess I forgot to run those ones through the auval seeds; sometimes I only remember to do the ones that I get paid for cuz I'll have someone on me about those). They failed cuz, under certain circumstances, they will write into memory out of bounds. Doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me that auval has added more ways to catch this. My plugs doing this sort of thing, that's pretty bad news. Of course they were only doing it cuz of a rather esoteric bug in the AU SDK rdar://5067220 heh heh, but none-the-less,
bad stuff for a plugin to be doing...
