JoystickImpl::isConnected crash

[miki151]

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

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

How many joysticks/controllers were there connected to the machine?

[miki151]

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

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

[binary1248]

At the moment, there is no way.

[Mr_Blame]

The only one thing that you can do is:remove joustick event polling code from SFML source and  compile it manualy.

[miki151]

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

[Mr_Blame]

the SFML license(http://www.sfml-dev.org/license.php) allows that. If you wouldn't claim, that you wrote SMFL yourself .

I have similar issues, crashes when disconecting the gamepad (xbox360 one).
Looks to be a heap corruption.

I am using the latest stable build of SFML on a Windows 8.1 machine.
