how do i track down what becomes a free object that crashes maxmsp?
hey there and hello from newb
i get crashes quite consistently with the crahed thread reporting this at the last line....
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 com.cycling74.Max 0x000369a8 freeobject + 52
1 com.cycling74.Max 0x00036b4f freeobject + 475
its the same two free objects and hex name so i'm thinking that these are the consistent issue in these crashes, no matter whaich thread crashes - the same two are at the last line....
what are free objects? ( i think from reading up a bit - that theyre objects no longer needed and 'disposed of' but not too sure.....and how might i track down an object is becoming free and crashing max?
did you write your own external or use an external library ? a freeobject is usually a fonction inside one max object which is called when the object is destroyed (ie when it is erased form a patcher (not sure, maybe ? or when all the instances of tha tobject are destoryed from the patcher ?) and when a patcher containing said object is closed). Seems related to that. You would have more help maybe in the dev section of the forum.
yes i have a few 3rd party items loaded - but not necessarily at the time of crashing - although its hard to be sure.
i'll remove these and retry -
thanks for the input so quickly
