RE: [Plib-devel] PUI crash in Tuxkart.

[Fay J. F C. AAC/W. <joh...@eg...>]

Ben Woodhead e-mailed me the Tuxkart files and I downloaded GLUT from the
net so I've been able to compile it.  (I'm running Windows 98 with MSVC 6.)
Whenever I try to execute it, my system locks up completely.  I put a
breakpoint in the motion function in "start_tuxkart.cxx" and it gets
tripped, apparently every frame.  Then if I take the breakpoint out the
system hangs.

The "complex.cxx" example still executes beautifully.

If we don't get to the bottom of this soon, I would agree that we should
back the changes out and try again after more testing.

I've build both TuxAQFH and TuxKart with the latest
source from anon CVS checkout.  Both fail.  This is
with MSVC6.  I've tried to track things down with
the debugger.  It looks like its in the puGroup code,
but I can't be sure.

I've put in the active widget file mailed earlier.
No affect.

In TuxKart, the main screen comes up, but some of the
widgets don't work.  The radio buttons to select the
track work.  None of the others do.

In TuxAQFH, it fails with a garbage pointer error.
It looks like the puGroup is not getting properly
constructed.  Some member variables are not initialized.
Stepping through the constructor is scaring me because
clearly initialization code is executing, but the
values are not getting set.  I moved the constructor
from the header file into the .cxx and got better
results.  But something is horribly wrong.  It might
be my build environment.  I've got a script that
copies some plib files to 'install' them.  I might
need to run it again to make sure that everything is
in its proper place.  Then I'm going to clean and
rebuild-all.

I'll try again tonight.

Regards.
