Hello.
Download latest juce from subversion.
Build demo plugin as AU.
Open some host(Ableton, or juce demo host).
Open plugin GUI in it.
Press host’s close button.
Result: host hangs for long time.
Thanks, Michail.
No such problems here…
Try debugging it - should be easy to catch it and see what’s going on.
I have the same problem with Ableton Live 7.0. Live crashes consistently when I try to quit Live with my plugin enabled, and occasionally when I try to delete the instance of the plugin. I verified that it works with the Demo Plugin (or at least my renamed version of this plugin). Do you want a detailed crash report, or what would be useful to help you debug this?
I am working from the latest tip as of this afternoon.
Thanks,
Sean Costello
If the demo plugin works, then the crash must be in your own code!
Guys, it doesn’t sound like either of you actually used the debugger before posting - the debugger is your friend, and will save you a lot of time and hassle…

I’m sorry - I meant to say that Live CRASHES with the Demo plugin, as described above. It doesn’t work properly. The edit button would have been my friend for my post. It was a long day.

Ah, that makes more sense!
Well, I was testing it in Live 6 and it works just fine, but maybe something is different in Live 7. I guess I’ll have to get a copy and try it.
Got this:

I’ll debug this moment tommorow.
Thanks, I’ve just checked in a fix for it now.
Cool, thanks!
From my initial tests, that seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
I now have plugins built with code from the tip, that work in Carbon hosts (Live 7.0), Cocoa hosts (Logic, Garage Band), and on the PC.
I posted too soon, apparently. My AUs work great in Live now, but the VSTs crash Live when deleting the plugin, or closing Live. Here’s the crash log:

Try the code I’ve just checked in - I’ve not tried it with this problem, but it might be related.
I just did a clean rebuild with rev 751, and the same problem exists. Demo Juce Plugin crashes in OS X 10.5.7, using Ableton Live Lite 7.0.something, when trying to delete the plugin. Same error message as listed above.
I just tried it with Live 7 lite and can’t find any problems… Are you sure you’ve rebuilt everything and that it’s not loading an older version of the plugin?
Hello,
Just downloaded rev 752, did the build from the demo plugin,
renamed .component to .vst, and putted that in my VST folder.
Then in live 7.0.16 :
dragged in the jucedemoplugin, choosed “fermer set live” (that close in french) and crash :

Ok. I’m absolutely stumped by this one, I’m afraid.
I’ve tried a whole bunch of things, but can’t see what’s going on. The crash happens after the plugin has been completely unloaded, so it’s not actually any of my code that’s crashing.
At first I thought it must be because an event has been left in the message queue, which then gets delivered after the plugin has gone, and therefore crashes because the objects it refers to have been deleted, but I’ve tested this, and there aren’t any messages being left behind (I’ve just checked-in some new code that tweaks the messaging slightly to make sure of this)
The AU works perfectly, it’s just the VST that’s got this problem, and for me it also happens when you delete the plugin, as well as when you close the session.
But I’ve absolutely no ideas left… It’s impossible to debug because the plugin isn’t loaded when it happens, so it’s just a case of trial-and-error to figure out what Live is having a problem with… Help! Suggestions wanted!
Hello,
It also crash the host “reaper”, though the crash log is slight different :

Does it bring something new and usefull ?
Salvator
Thanks, that’s maybe a bit of a hint that it might be window-related…
Ok, I think I’ve got it… If I’m right, it’s because the message dispatch loop needs to run in between closing the window and deleting the plugin itself, which doesn’t happen if you just delete the plugin with its window open. This might be to let the cocoa windowing stuff clean up or something obscure…
It’s a one-liner, but I’d appreciate it if people could try this in various hosts to see if it works:
in VST_Wrapper.mm:
[code]void detachComponentFromWindowRef (Component* comp, void* nsWindow)
{
const ScopedAutoReleasePool pool;
#if ADD_CARBON_BODGE
EventHandlerRef ref = (EventHandlerRef) (void*) (pointer_sized_int)
comp->getComponentProperty (“carbonEventRef”, false, String::empty).getHexValue64();
RemoveEventHandler (ref);
#endif
NSWindow* hostWindow = (NSWindow*) nsWindow;
NSView* pluginView = (NSView*) comp->getWindowHandle();
NSWindow* pluginWindow = [pluginView window];
[hostWindow removeChildWindow: pluginWindow];
comp->removeFromDesktop();
[hostWindow release];
MessageManager::getInstance()->runDispatchLoopUntil (10);
}[/code]
Seems evolving the good way as, in my setup, the crashes (‘on delete’ and ‘on quit’) are gone in Live 7 !
On reaper there is still a crash ‘on quit’ though :
