General / [solved] sf::String::Text, memory access violation (read)

« on: March 13, 2009, 05:08:18 pm »

Hello all!

Thank you for your help, Laurent, Laguna and Tank.

Laurent's recommendation was the solution:

The first bug has been fixed, you can try getting the latest sources and recompiling SFML to get the fix.

After downloading SFML 1.5 (SVN: trunk/) and building the libs on my own the first problem is solved.

Though the second one still exists but I think I can live with that because it only happens on program exit and as mentioned by Laurent it will get a fix in SFML 2.

Driver update and loading a font before did not help, btw.

Best regards,
resident-uhlig.

General / [solved] sf::String::Text, memory access violation (read)

« on: March 12, 2009, 11:18:43 pm »

Hello all.

I have some problems using sf::String/sf::Unicode::Text in my project. After some hours trying and searching the internet to get it working I am very desperate else I would not have created this thread.

This is my development environment:
SFML 1.4
Code::Blocks 8.02 (mingw)
Windows XP SP3 (en)

So basicly I want to use a new sf::Unicode::Text to fill a new sf::String:

Code: [Select]

sf::String        test( sf::Unicode::Text( "42" ) );

The problem is that I get a memory access violation (read) in this line. I got two solutions for this:

[*] use L"42" instead
[*] log in as Administrator
[/list]

The first one is not acceptable because I have cases in which I only have a char and not a wchar. The second one is not accapteble because I don't want to ask my users of my software to be logged in as Administrator.

Then there is another problem. Even if I get the line above working I will get another memory access violation (read) when the program exits. For this I did not find a solution. This is very simple code that will raise this error aswell:

Code: [Select]

int main() { sf::String a; return 0; }

Both problems seem to have something to do with this DLL: nvoglnt.dll
That's what I can read from the debugger:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
In nvoglnt!DllMain () (C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvoglnt.dll)

Here are some references that might fit to my problem but without a working solution:

[*] SFML Forum: Error When Closing Window
[*] SFML Forum: Small bug
[*] Foreign forum: Tackeling segmentation fault (nasty bug is ruining my game)
[/list]

Hope you can help me,
resident-uhlig.
