PopupMenu randomly Stuck in OSX builds, overall weird behavi

Audio Plugins

edit:
seems like this is a reaper 4 related problem.
i’ll got to cockos forum.

Hi there.
i’m porting my code to OSX now.
my plugins runs just fine in windows, no leaks/heap errors etc.
however, on OSX i get some weird behavior. to me it seems the message manager gets stuck or something.
the AU version for example runs just fine, but the VST version does not. i got stuck popup menus which will not receive clicks nor close.
also i could not 100% verify it, its seems change message do not get transported. the debugger shows no errors except this:

ca_debug_string: AudioUnitGetProperty: *ioDataSize == 0 on entry /Developer/Extras/CoreAudio/AudioUnits/AUPublic/AUBase/AUDispatch.cpp:198

If you’re trying to run the AU and VST at the same time, you’ll get horrible obj-C name clashes, and that’ll probably cause messaging problems. There are a bunch of threads about this on the forum if you do some searching.

ah, thanks, i already found something, but could not find a solution. but now it makes sense.

thank you.

What was your solution? I am currently having PopupMenu issues in Reaper, but on the Windows side:

no solution.
i thought this is a known issue, so i’ll not load instances of AU and VST version at the same time. if i follow this rule all works fine.
this seems to me like an osx only related problem.
sorry :wink: good luck!

Sorry, I thought you were having the same bug I am.

YOUR bug I solved by creating two separate builds, one for AU, the other for VST, with different Objective-C suffixes (or whatever the ID used is). The randomly generated IDs from the Jucer didn’t work - I had to type a separate one in the project somewhere.

thats great… thought of doing exactly this…do you by any chance remember where in the code to change this?
i know there is some id assigning in the jucepluginheaderxyz.h
good luck fixing your bug!

In my Jucer project (this is the new Jucer, before it was renamed “Introjucer”) I made sure that there was a unique value in the “XCode (Mac OSX)->Objective-C class name suffix” entry for both my VST and AU projects.
