I have some plugins (midi only no audio), they are pure JUCE and are using VST wrapper. I wanted to build the same plugins
but with AU wrapper, i got the build to work, but. I get assertions from JUCE all around the place, first from Timer and second
anywhere i try to create any UI components, i get assertions from line 2017 in juce_Component.cpp. The same code works perfectly
with VST but AU causes those assertions.
I create my UI class in the filter code, and it stays there so i don’t have to re-create the editor each time it’s closed/opened, i just add
it to a wrapper editor that get’s recreated. Theese assertions happen when the plugins are scanned, and later when i try to open the UI
in the host. Is there something that might be causing this ? Are there any special considerations when using AU. I used the JuceDemoPlugin
project and just added my sources, so the build parameters are the same, i just added the ObjC prefix stuff as a global define for the project
and the JucePlugin_Build_AU.
I tried removing the UI creation from the filter code, and made it run only when the editor is requested, but i still get the assertions when
opening the plugin editor.

If you create a component, then shutdown and re-start juce, that component won’t work any more, because it was registered with a messagemanager object that no longer exists. Not keeping any components as statics, are you?
static as in static variables no, almost all UI components are created with Jucer, i have non jucer components in my UI wrapper class theese are two LookAndFeel classes one File class and a TooltipWindow. The rest are normaln components. If you wish to see this the code is public and in svn http://ctrlr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Controllers/MBase01/
Ok, suggestion #2: It could be a symbol linkage clash between your plugin and the host - looks like the plugin is getting the wrong instance of Messagemanager, and using the host’s copy instead of its own. I’ve seen this kind of thing happen when c++ symbols are exported rather than being hidden or stripped - try a release build of the host (make sure it’s stripped) and I bet it’ll work fine.
Like obj-c, you can get cross-linkage problems in c++ too, but fortunately you can fix it by making the symbols private.
it’s not a problem, i use MIDI hardware directly and via the process() method, it’s a lot if you can use the MIDI hardware, you get some control over
your hardware, it’s better then no control at all.
Well allright the Release build of the Host helped. The window shows up i can edit my controls, but i can’t resize the window, something that was possible in VST, here when i try to resize the window the component get’s redrawn in some weird way and the window size does not change, i need to close/re-open my plugin to get the new size.
