OgreAL Crash

Hi CaseyB, I get the latest svn head version of ogreAl and I noticed that there is something wrong with the release mode compilation. It compiles ok, but when I run one of the demos, it crashes, doesn't work, different from debug mode where everything is ok, the demos work very well.

What do I have to do to fix the release mode?


Thanks for help.

What happens when you try to run? Does it just crash or does it bring up an error / exception window?

When I try to run a demo, first appear a black screen, it seems to ben loading resources, and after a while, it returns to windows and appears a send error report window.

Here is the ogre log:

Thanks for your help

EXCELLENT!!!
You can see in your log that it's allocating X-RAM! This is a feature that I have never been able to test because I could not find anyone whose card would support this! If you wouldn't mind helping me test out this feature then I'll branch off a testing version with a lot of debug info built in so we can have a better idea of where it's crashing!

Sure, I will be glad to help you to test your program. Just ask what I have to do.

I'll pass to you what I am using, maybe it could help you:

currently ogre version: 1.2.1

compiler: Visual Studio 2005 Express

computer: notebook HP Pavilion ZV6250

Cool! What I'll do is make some changes to the OgreAL project and point you to a different place to update from SVN and it'll print a lot of extra info into the log, so you should just have to update and build like normal. I'll let you know when I get the changes made. It'll have to be tonight since I'm at work now. Thank you!

You're welcome.

Ok, I will be waiting for the testing files.

Turns out it was a mistake on my part. As I was cleaning up the constructor I deleted the line that defaulted X-RAM support to false, so in release mode it was floating and resulted in a true. I have fixed it in SVN, but the anonymous access may lag a bit. Good find though! And it has also caused me to clean up some more inconsistencies!

Hi CaseyB, I had built normal the SVN OgreAl, in release mode and it is working very well, thanks very much.

In debug mode is working very well too.

Here is the ogre log of the demo in release mode:
