Hi all,
I am currently trying to get a large AU synth to work in Digital
Performer 4.61.
It passes auval just fine, however motu says "AU examination
crashed" while scanning it. I am getting the crash log as below,
and can see that the crash is not really happening inside my
plugin. however something it does finally leads to it.
Then, this sounds to me like auval is missing a test which MOTU's
finds. So, I'm very interested to find out what is going on here
and I'll add this to auval too.
oky doky :) However I had similar problems before and was able to
work around them. If you want to know: Motu's validation app seems to
free the CFStringRefs of the program-names even if it shouldn't.
The problem is that debugging in conjunction with MOTU's validation
is very hard as you don't get your regular console output. And motu
doesn't provide the syntax to run the commandline-version of their
validator (which is inside motu's AU-adapter MAS plugin). So it's
more or less a guessing game if the backtrace from the crashreporter
doesn't hint to anything (as in my case).
Has anyone else seen this crash?
I am unfamiliar with AU hosting, does anyone know what happens in
the parts of audiotoolbox which are called?
Have you tried this AU in the AU Lab application = /Developer/
Applications/Audio
Yes, I have no problems there, everything is fine in Logic as well,
my AU passes auval without warning.
I understand they need to collect info about the AUs, but as you
can see the crash happens in a routine called RunAUTortureTest()
which IMHO is very unlikely part of the examination.
Someone is doing something wrong, so lets find out what it is.
Well I'm sure the reason lies within my plugin as I have others that
pass MOTU's examination, however the plugin (Rob Papen's Blue 1.5)
appears to be completely stable in other hosts.
One other thing you can try - in the auval read me we described
difference malloc options that are good for catching memory
problems - you should try running this with your AU.
I did that (standard procedure...)... however no change in the MOTU
examinator.
Oh, and which OS version are you running this on?
OSX 10.4.5 ppc. The plugin is universal btw. and also run fine with
AUVal on intel-macs
thanks
Adrian
