Using Juce in a 64 bit VST plugin

gillesda · October 19, 2011, 9:42am

Hello,

I’m using some of the juce classes from my VST plugin (VSTSDK2.4 VSTGUI4.0) on Mac. Cocoa based.
When I load my plugin in Cubase 6.0 in 64 bit mode, I get a crash:

In the 32-bit version of Cubase I don’t have that issue. I’m am thinking of a Juce vs. Cocoa problem maybe?

It is apparently caused by a call from the constructor of my plguin DirectoryIterator iter (defaultPathFile, false, “*.my_extention”);
The crash does not occur in al hosts.

I’m trying to figure out what causes this issue, but had no success until now.
Maybe someone had a similar issue?

That’s a complete mystery to me! It looks like Cocoa is crashing internally, which is very peculiar…

Well… since none of the plugin’s code appears anywhere in the stack trace, that doesn’t really help much!

lelepar · October 30, 2011, 9:31am

Hi all, finally I solved; was my mistake (and not good coding )
I had two pointers pointing to the same object, when I released the object I put only one of the two pointers to 0.
Then in another point of the code I use the object if the second pointer is not 0, but of course the object does not exist anymore.
