SharedResourcePointer accross Host / Plugin

General JUCE discussion

Hey all -

 

I have been using a SharedReourcePointer for all my global-type objects for a while now.

It is incredibly convenient, and so far, flawless.

But - I did realize today that when I include it in a plugin host, and also in plugins which will be scanned by the host, the plugin creates a new instance of the sharedPointer. I assume this is because the plugin(s) have a different static space than the DAW/Host itself.

This would be fine, except that when the plugin is destroyed, it destoys the SharedReourcePointer, which seems to destroy both instances?

I'm not completely sure, but I end up with a memory leaked MessageManager, and then a crash on [NSApp run];.

Anyway - trying to wrap my head around this, so any info would be useful.

 

Thanks

A

Ahhhh ... hang on .. this only happens when the plugin (and host) are running in Debug mode.

I vaguely remember posts about this before. Multiple plugins in debug mode causes some nasty issues.

Hmmm ..ok, disregard the previous question I guess.

Yeah, when you have debug symbols, the dynamic linker can mess things up by cross-linking the wrong modules sometimes.
