hi list
what causes pdp/pidip to crash with segmentation fault while using several effects in chain. just effects with mouse feedback like cmap or ctrack are affected and only when i'm using this effects in chain (wiht reg and mix), standalone eg. the help_pdp_cmap is working properly.
it seems that it crashs more likely when i'm fastclick several times in the xv.
is there a certain "don't do this" with these effects?
yeah, you should NEVER connect any of the objects :)
i'm using pdp 0.12.2, the latest pidp 0.12.11 with pd-037.0 on debian. the system as such is runnig stable.
the xv had some bugs in 0.12.2, those are supposed to be fixed in the upcoming 0.12.3 (there's a pre-release at http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp/test/pdp-0.12.3-test-13.tar.gz)
about the chained effects. it would be nice if you could run it in gdb, and send a backtrace, or send a patch that has a reproducable crash.
