Author Topic: text causing crash? (Read 2228 times)

gremio · « **on:** November 12, 2014, 03:31:41 am »

I've been trying to draw a label (sf::Text) for a couple hour and my program has been crashing for a reason I can't tell. I used to print a few labels for information output with the same font and within the same class even, but now, it crashes when I draw the sf::Text and ouputs Violation access error.

Can sombebody see my mistake ?

**update, I have found a way to not crash my program, but more problems occur, see lower down

        :myWin(win), fillColor(aFillColor), radius(aRadius), true_radius(t_radius), mySpeed(aSpeed), mass(aMass), orientation(anOrientation), position(aPosition), myName(aName)

Draw function

void Body::draw()
{
        
        circle.setRadius(radius);
        circle.setPosition(Vector2f(myState.x, myState.y));
        myWin.draw(circle);
        

        label.setPosition(myState.x - radius, myState.y - radius - label.getLocalBounds().height);
        myWin.draw(label); //THE PROGRAM CRASHES HERE!
        
}
 

And for whoever wonders, here is when I call the draw function

        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){

                if(!myPause){
                        it_bodies->setPosition(Vector2f(it_bodies->getPosition().x - temp_position.x, it_bodies->getPosition().y - temp_position.y));
                }

                it_bodies->draw();
        }

any abvious mistake? Am I victim of the randomly crashing fonts ?

please help!

More testing :

I tried to draw the Text in the constructor and the program did not crash :

Body::Body(RenderWindow &win, Color aFillColor, float aRadius, double t_radius, double aMass, Vector2<double> aSpeed,  float anOrientation, Vector2<double> aPosition, string aName)
        :myWin(win), fillColor(aFillColor), radius(aRadius), true_radius(t_radius), mySpeed(aSpeed), mass(aMass), orientation(anOrientation), position(aPosition), myName(aName)
{
        acceleration = Vector2<double>(0,0);
        myState = State(position.x, position.y, mySpeed.x, mySpeed.y);

        circle.setPosition(position.x, position.y);
        circle.setFillColor(fillColor);
        circle.setRadius(true_radius/dist_adjust);

        if(!myFont.loadFromFile("ressources/Fonts/arial.ttf")){
                cout << "problem!!" << endl;    
        }

        label.setFont(myFont);
        label.setCharacterSize(12);
        label.setColor(Color::Black);
        label.setString(myName);
        myWin.draw(label);   //HERE IS WHERE MY TEXT IS DRAWN
        

        cout << true_radius/dist_adjust << endl;
        circle.setOrigin(circle.getLocalBounds().width/2,circle.getLocalBounds().height/2);
        last_chrono = 0;
        myClock.restart();
}
 

Further testing brings up more questions : When I comment or uncomment those lines, in the constructor of the Body class, my FPS goes from 70+ when commented to 2 when uncommented. ?!?!? Note that I am not drawing the sf::Text, I am only initiating some of it's attributes. For the record, I only have 9 of these objects, 1 for the sun, and 8 for planets (yes, it is a solar system simulation)

        label.setFont(myFont);
        label.setCharacterSize(12);
        label.setColor(Color::Black);
        label.setString(myName);
 

ok... One last update : I tried setting up the attributes within the draw function instead of the constructor, SURPSIE! my program doesn't crash! Nevertheless, it still drops the FPS drastically. Of course, I would normally not do that because setting atributes multiple times with the same value is a waste of ressources.

void Body::draw()
{

        circle.setRadius(radius);
        circle.setPosition(Vector2f(myState.x, myState.y));

        myWin.draw(circle);
        
        
        label.setPosition(myState.x - radius, myState.y - radius - label.getLocalBounds().height);
        label.setFont(myFont);
        label.setCharacterSize(12);
        label.setColor(Color::Black);
        label.setString(myName);
        myWin.draw(label);
        
}
 

This is never ending, here is another update... I found one line of code that slows down my program by a lot :

        
        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){
                if(!myPause){
                        it_bodies->update(myBodies,delta_time * timing_var); //THIS LINE SUCKS THE JUICE
                        if(it_bodies->getName() == "Earth"){
                                temp_position = Vector2<double>(it_bodies->getPosition().x - temp_position.x, it_bodies->getPosition().y - temp_position.y);
                        }

                }

        }       

you will never guess what is in that function...... COMMENTS!!! yes, only comments.... no actual line of code. Nevertheless, calling that function brings my fps from 1500, down to 700 even if I have only one object in that vector................

Here is the code in case anybody cares :

void Body::update(vector<Body> theBodies, double delta_t)
{
        /*
        Derivative derivative_a = initialDerivative(myState, delta_t, theBodies);

        Derivative derivative_b = nextDerivative(myState, derivative_a, delta_t * 0.5, theBodies);

        Derivative derivative_d = nextDerivative(myState, derivative_c, delta_t, theBodies);

        double one_over_six = 1.f/6.f;

        double dxdt = one_over_six * (derivative_a.vx + 2.f * (derivative_b.vx + derivative_c.vx) + derivative_d.vx);

Sorry, nobody will go over these hugd chunkw of code.

Use a debugger to find out where a crash happens.

Reduce your code to the absolute minimum and make sure itys complete.

gremio · « **Reply #2 on:** November 13, 2014, 12:37:12 am »

Here is the minimal code, and the exact lines and situation that slows down my program drastically :

        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){
                        it_bodies->update(myBodies,delta_time * timing_var);                    
        }       
        
        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){     
                it_bodies->draw();
        }       

Here is the content of those 2 functions (comments were erased for readability.....)

void Body::update(vector<Body> theBodies, double delta_t)
{

}
 

void Body::draw()
{
        label.setFont(myFont);
        myWin.draw(label);
        
}

Here are the 2 possibilities that my program is not slowed down :

        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){
                        //it_bodies->update(myBodies,delta_time * timing_var);                  
        }       
        
        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){     
                it_bodies->draw();
        }
 

        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){
                        it_bodies->update(myBodies,delta_time * timing_var);                    
        }       
        
        for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){     
                //it_bodies->draw();
        }
 

I point out that if I don't setFont() in my draw() function but still drawing the label (sf::Text), I get 3000 fps. If I don't draw the label but still do the setFont(), I also get 3000 fps. If I do both while updating my body (only one in the vector), I get 800 fps.

Also, If I don't update my body, I can do the draw function with both setFont() and draw() and I get 3000 fps.

I have attached a picture to show what it looks like (not much to be seen unfortunately)

Gambit · « **Reply #3 on:** November 13, 2014, 03:12:16 am »

There are several things I would like to point out in your code, but first, this is not a complete, minimal code. Post code that will compile off-the-bat and requires nothing more than the C++ std/stl lib and SFML (unless your code depends on other libraries).

Now to my points, for your iterator assignments:

for(vector<Body>::iterator it_bodies = myBodies.begin(); it_bodies != myBodies.end(); ++it_bodies){

Consider the following:

for(auto it_bodies = std::begin(myBodies); it_bodies != std::end(myBodies); it_bodies++){

I'm not sure on the exact semantics of non-member begin and end but I use it myself. In any case, complete and minimal code that reproduces your problem.

gremio · « **Reply #4 on:** November 13, 2014, 03:26:56 am »

OK, I will post a minimal code asap. Nevertheless, I thought somebody would be able to figure something out with my current code because the code that wasn't posted, to my knowledge, has nothing to do with my problem. This being said, making a minimal code with my current program is not that easy. I still need my Body class and my Intro class. I'll do my best to post some code that can run right off the bat. Give me a few minutes.

gremio · « **Reply #5 on:** November 13, 2014, 04:04:23 am »

All right, I was able to minimize my code I guess. Anybody should be able to copy paste this into a project and run it as it is EXCEPT for the font. You're gonna have to load a font of your own. I tried 2 diffrent ones, so I guess any font will reproduce the problem. This being said, comment the update line, the one that contains
it_bodies->update(myBodies,delta_time);
and your FPS should go up quite a bit. The FPS_manager class found in the code is only there to display the framerate in the console. It can also be used to "regulate" whatever movement you're dealing with, depending on how fast you're computer process the code. I have used it before and has not caused me any problem even if it is not my own work.

Nobody wants to read through your code, thats the problem. You havent posted complete (and therefore not working) code so no-one can even test it to try and help, thats why you post complete and minimal code, so people can copy-paste it with an SFML setup and test it for themselves. This is just my opinion, but if you cant make a minimal code sample then there are a few things that come to mind:

1: You have more code than you need
2: Your project is more complex than it needs to be
3: You have an enterprise-level library that has hundreds of dependencies that is impossible to extract a minimal code sample.

I doubt the third applies to you, but in the process of making a minimal code sample, you might find bugs (related to your immediate problem or not) as stated by Laurent in this post which you should read.

Gambit · « **Reply #7 on:** November 13, 2014, 04:10:49 am »

Since you are using an empty sf::ContextSettings object and sf::Style::Default you can omit the last 2 parameters for sf::RenderWindow. The "Complete and minimal code" only has to reproduce your problem, not your application. I'm not asking you to make your code smaller, I'm asking that you provide a small piece of code that reproduces your problem exactly.

CDoughty08 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 17, 2014, 11:52:05 pm »

STL Container are slow in debug builds anyhow, but by a quick glance it seems that your problem is caused by copying the container each frame. You should be passing that vector by reference to the update function. Although why a update function in the Body class would need a container of other Body(s) to update is odd.
