Command line application help

#1

I’m trying to use the Audio Device handling classes of Juce in my command line application and at the moment I can’t get it to work.

My question is this, do I need to use the full juceapplication wrapper for my application, or can I just use the Juce classes as is? I read an old post that says that if I don’t want to use Juce’s event handling then I can just use the classes straight off. This isn’t working for me at the moment however, my application breaks in juce_messagelistener.cpp.

any help greatly appreciated.

Which intialise/shutdown methods are you using? I think you have to use initialiseJuce_GUI and shutdownJuce_GUI if you’re using the audio classes, even with a console app. I don’t make console programs myself, but it sounds like something I’ve read around here.

#3

Ah that sounds like it could be the problem, i was using the nonGUI intialising function. Now I’ve changed my project to use initialiseJuce_GUI(), but on running it vc++ claims it’s detected memory leaks, the dump is below. The project is just a vanilla win32 console application with the intialiseJuce_Gui function added to main.

thanks for your help.

It’s pretty tough to track down a memory leak just from the listing.

You’re calling shutdownJuce_GUI, right?

#5

Yeah, looks like you’re missing the shutdownJuce_GUI call from that dump. Having said that, I just made a quick app, and I get a leak in juce_message.h, even with a shutdown call.

[code]#include “…/…/…/juce.h”

void func();

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
initialiseJuce_GUI();
func();
shutdownJuce_GUI();
return 0;
}

void func()
{
AudioDeviceManager adm;
adm.initialise(0,2,0,false);
ToneGeneratorAudioSource source;
AudioSourcePlayer player;
player.setSource(&source);
adm.setAudioCallback(&player);
Thread::sleep(1000);
adm.setAudioCallback(0);
player.setSource(0);
}[/code]

edit: never mind, that’s what I get for posting before doing any debugging. I’m clearly not dispatching any messages above, so it makes sense that it was being leaked. I really ought to take a look at what’s going on behind the scenes with the JUCEApplication class.

#6

Yeah I was missing the shutdown call. There’s still one memory leak but I’m not worried about that as I can create the audio device ok now. Thanks for your help.
