Hi there,
I am new to juce and a novice at C++. I am using XCode on my Macbook pro and downloaded Juce v.6.0.7. I am unable to launch even an example application such as for example the “PluckedStringsDemo”. The problem seems to be in the juce_core>text>juce_String.cpp file. According to the message thread it says: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2,address=0x7ffeef3ffff8)”.
I have been stuck on this for ages - someone please help me figure out how to get started. Please see my screenshots below:
To work out what’s going wrong, we need to see the bottom of the call stack, which is shown in the pane on the left. If you click on the top of the call stack (where it says StringHolder::createUninitialised...), then scroll down, hold shift, and click the bottom of the call stack, it will highlight all the entries, and you can then right-click to copy them.
Hi @reuk
Thanks for getting back to me soo quickly. I could not paste all the threads as the message would be too long but here is the screen - shot showing the bottom of the call stack:
Could you try posting from the bottom (the frame labelled start) up to the point where the stack starts calling logAssertion and String::String repeatedly? I’m most interested in what’s happening directly before the first call to logAssertion.
Hi @reuk
The first call to logAssertion seems to be the 9th message and then it keeps doing so repeatedly upto message number 104,778 - I think those are too many to fit here. Please see below:
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant the first from the bottom.
oh ok, these are the messages:

Thanks, I think I see the problem. I’ll try to get a fix together soon.
Thanks for reporting this issue. This should be resolved on the develop branch:
You’ll need to download the latest copy of JUCE from the develop branch in order to use this fix. Please let us know if you run into any further issues.
