Sorry to say, but you can't debug the HAL at the source level. We do not make those sources available.

At any rate, as I mentioned to you when you first wrote about this problem, this crash is a memory smasher. Essentially, something in your process is corrupting memory in such a way as to cause the interface between the HAL and the IORegistry to crash.

This is probably more common than it should be, but the problem is going to be squarely with your code in this process. Your best bet is to use the malloc debug options and/or the GuardMalloc library. This will give you a better shot at finding the corruption when it takes place rather than long after the fact when the crash happens.

Hello,

A few weeks ago I encountered the EXC_BAD_ACCESS problem below, and fixed it in a kludge fashion by linking to the carbon framework.

Now I have time to fix it correctly and would like to be able to source level debug.

This problem happens on the second run of the program, so it seems something is being corrupted on the first run.

I downloaded the IOAudioFamily project from opensource.apple.com in an attempt to do source level debugging, but can't find the symbol IsConstantRateClock,so I must have the wrong source.

Is it possible to do source level debugging in this situation? Where can I find the code? How does one get xcode to use the source?

Thanks,
