Window / Re: JoystickImpl::isConnected crash

That was what I thought, if this bug pops out again. Can I safely remove the call to processJoystickEvents()?

I have no idea, it's an automatic crash report.

What's the best way to compile SFML without joystick support?

Sorry, I forgot to add that I'm using SFML 2.3.2.

Window / JoystickImpl::isConnected crash

This is from a minidump from a remote machine. I can send in the minidump and symbols, if needed.

Crashing line:
        cache.connected = joyGetPosEx(JOYSTICKID1 + index, &joyInfo) == JOYERR_NOERROR;

index is 0

That was the key problem

Installed it, still no luck. Are the pdb files supposed to be generated for release build or perhaps only for debug?

I compiled SFML from master, I saw that the option to generate PDB was on by default, but I can't find the PDB files anywhere in the build directory...

And you actually replaced the newly compiled SFML DLLs?

Yeah, I double checked it. Maybe some other compiler flags need to be included to have the symbols in dlls?

If you use the master branch from GitHub, it's as easy as ticking a CMake option when building SFML.

Sounds nice. Is the master branch ok in terms of stability? I'd like to use this setup for production.

I added the /Z7 flag to release flags, but VS doesn't see the symbols for the dll file. Maybe I would have better luck with generating a pdb file along the dll? Is it easy to do that?

Binary was not built with debug information.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Is it ok to add /Z7 in release flags (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS) or will that break something? I'd like to get proper stacktraces of SFML code in the production build of my game.

How do I add /Zi to the compiler command line via CMake?

Nevermind, I found the "Advanced" toggle in CMake-GUI. I noticed that /Zi is included by default in the debug build. Does that mean that the debug build in the binary release of SFML for Visual Studio is built with different flags than the default ones in the source code release?

What's his monitor resolution and what's the game's window resolution?

I use sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode(), so I suppose the window has the same resolution as the desktop?

If the window resolution is larger than the screen resolution, then the window won't show. Not sure if that is really the problem here though.

I know that on Windows the window is always slightly too big (it goes under task bar), maybe on Windows 10 it causes the call to hang. But I think that more users would report the problem if it was this trivial.

If you want to load debug symbols, you need to rebuild SFML with that option.

I sent him a debug build that loads the sfml-d dlls, will that get me a full stacktrace?

Window / RenderWindow::create freezes on Windows 10

A user is reporting that my game doesn't start, it just freezes without opening a window. I got a minidump file from him, the stacktrace is as follows:

   sfml-system-2.dll!587d59c0()   Unknown
    sfml-system-2.dll!587d59cc()   Unknown
    sfml-system-2.dll!587d1096()   Unknown

    sfml-window-2.dll!0f0949a8()   Unknown
    keeper.exe!Renderer::initialize() Line 268   C++


The last line is in my code, as follows (display is a RenderWindow).

display.create(sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode(), "KeeperRL");

The method is called in an extra thread, while some stuff is done in the main thread first (RenderWindow constructor, Font::loadFromFile), could this cause any trouble?

EDIT: the problem persists even when the game is run in a single thread.

Is there any way to load the SFML symbols and see the whole stacktrace?

Note that this is a pretty uncommon bug, I couldn't reproduce it on many PCs, and the game has worked for lots of players for years. On that user's particular machine, we've tried a Visual Studio 14 build with the most recent SFML version, as well as a Mingw-w64 build with a slightly older verison of SFML.

The user's spec:

Windows 10
i7-4930K
GTX 970

It's most likely fixed in the master branch. Rebuild SFML and relink your application.

How stable is the master branch? This goes out to thousands of users, so I don't want to gamble with old vs new bugs.

Provide us with that information, and we'll tell you whether it is a problem with SFML, or your users' systems.

I will, thanks.

It seems I'm getting similar crashes. They come in crash reports from users, so I can't reproduce it or check with other SFML versions than 2.2.

Here's the stacktrace. It also looks very similar to this one: https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/618

Here's the code that crashes:

  r.setPosition(t.getPX(), t.getPY());
  r.setFillColor(color);
  if (outline) {
    r.setOutlineThickness(-2);
    r.setOutlineColor(*outline);
  }
  addRenderElem([this, r] { display->draw(r); });
