Debugging Pluginval exception on Windows

[adamwilson]

I did after your suggestion. This bit of advice was key to fixing a couple of other issues.

Pluginval: segfault on "Automation..." stage .. how to proceed?

I’d recommend building both the plugin and pluginval with address sanitizer enabled, and then running pluginval under a debugger. In my experience, address sanitizer is easier to use on macOS, so assuming you’re building for macOS too, I’d test there first just in case. It’s possible that the same undefined behaviour is present in both macOS and Windows builds, but only causes a hard crash on Windows.

I think this should be written in bold in the pluginval readme!
