Window / Instantiation of sf::Window

Nop, the default constructor is empty.

You can try copying the Window class to your code (just the members & default constructor) and play with it to see what's wrong.


Never mind my problem, I tried to replace the call to sf::Window by a huge dummy matrix allocation and it changed the result too. So the problem seems to come from calc(). I'll try to see what I can get with valgrind.

Thanks.

What does calc() do? Do you think that you could reduce it to something minimal that we could test easily (while still producing the problem)?


Actually it's a big code that uses several libraries to animate articulated figures...I'm afraid I can't simplify it to a reasonable size here.

But is there any memory allocation in
 sf::Window App;
?

Window / Instantiation of sf::Window

Hi

I'm using SFML to create a GL context and view some articulated rigid body motions. I like the API. But lately I noticed that my program produces different results (motions) every time it's run. After disabling different parts of the code I found that an instantiation of sf::Window changes the results even if the window is not used at all. Say calc() is the name of the function that launches the motion computation. If I call calc() alone it would always give the same results for any number of tests, but preceding calc() by an instantiation of Window, for example

sf::Window App;
calc();

, will give different results.

I checked all the code invoked by calc() against all kinds of warnings (Wall and Wextra) with no alerts. The program is running on ubuntu 10.10 32b, on a core i5-based notebook, with the intel HD Graphics integrated chip. This is version 1.6 of sfml.

How do I know for sure which of the instructions, calc() or (sf::Window App) is at fault?

Thank you.
