Hi Doug,

thanks for looking at it.

The trouble with things that "shouldn't happen" is that they often do :)

Still not sure if it's my bad or DP's, but I'm tempted to blame DP as the problem started on a version jump of that software.

Either way, the code could be more robust, as you suggest.


cheers, os.

Hi,

I've been tracking down a crash with my plug-in that seems to have started occurring in DP 4.51 - however it looks to be a bug in AUBufferList::CopyBufferContentsTo().

In my case abl.mNumberBuffers is 2, so it's trying to fill in two buffers.

However mPtrs->mNumberBuffers is 1, so there's only 1 source buffer.

Therefore when the loop goes round and ++srcbuff happens, the source buffer pointer becomes garbage.

Could someone please verify this?

Os,

This "shouldn't happen."

When it does happen, there's probably a discrepency between the format of the AU's bus and the buffer the caller is asking you to render into ...

It does look like there should be some defensive code to trap the condition and generate an error instead of bombing.

Doug
