Graphics / SFML 2.0 RC and loadFromFile System.AccessViolationException

« on: May 08, 2012, 01:57:46 pm »

I followed the tutorial to get SFML to work with Visual C++ 2010 Express and I keep getting an unhandled System.AccessViolationException whenever I try to load an image from file. The offending code is below. stdafx.h contains the include lines for System.hpp, Window.hpp and Graphics.hpp.

Code: [Select]

#include "stdafx.h"
int main()
{
sf::Image test;
test.loadFromFile("E:\\test.bmp");
        return 0;
}

When the exception occurs Visual C++ opens up memcpy.asm with the following assembly indicated:

Code: [Select]

rep     movsd           ;N - move all of our dwords

Other SFML 2.0 example code compiles and runs just fine (code from here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-vc.php runs without any problems). I'm running a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 but I'm compiling for x86/Win32 with dynamic libraries. I understand this release is meant to be a release candidate but it does seem like a bit of a shop-stopping issue.

Please excuse me if I should have posted this to a different forum.
