Strange crashes in R20 & R21
-
Hello,
what could be the reason if I suddenly experience reproducible crashes in both, R20 AND R21 with any plugin I build (even cinema4dsdk)? The crashlog is:

I'm stumped. It also crashes in the debugger, exactly where the crash report says, but none of the plugin code is in the call stack.
Thanks & greetings,

Follow-up:
- Remember, plugins for R20 and R21 are built using different versions of Xcode. Yet, both suddenly provoke the same crash.
- Deleting and freshly cloning the repository (to eliminate all chances of unwanted changes) does not solve the problem.
- Reboot does not help

Hi Frank, thanks for reaching out us.
In order to be of some help I need to know a bit more:
- you refer about a generic crash even involving the cinema4dsdk: can you be more precise on when it crash? At Cinema start-up? At plugin registration? At Cinema shutdown?
- looks like you have provided a portion of the crash log: can you also provide the Cinema crash log as well?
- are you aware of any unexpected update of your tool chain? What are the Xcode versions your're currently using? What is the os version you're using to build your plugins?
- you mentioned about Deleting and freshly cloning the repository (to eliminate all chances of unwanted changes): did you tried to Clean the project, before building again?
Finally, waiting for your feedback, I recommend to delete the Derived Data that Xcode generates in the folder specified in the "File -> Project Settings".
Best, Riccardo

Hi Ricardo,
thanks for your reply!
About the information you requested:
- It happens on C4D startup, even before the splash screen shows up.
- There were no updates in the tool chain. Xcode 8.3.3 for R20, Xcode 10.1 for R21. Both version are in use since quite some time and never caused problems. OS version is macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
- I regularly clean the project, it did not help.
Now the surprise: Today I rebuilt for R20, and the crash is gone. With no change made whatsoever. After regenerating the R21 project file with the Maxon Project Tool, that one works again, too. I tried to diff the old and the new project file, but they look very different, so I couldn't figure out what the significant change is.
Long story short: I'm a bit concerned, as the crashes occurred without any apparent reason, and now they're gone without any apparent reason. My fear is that they'll come back. It seems a bit random.
I have had those crashes before some weeks ago, but didn't care to post about them at that time. They were gone a day after. I'm stumped, but for the moment relieved.
Cheers,

Thanks for the update Frank.
Looking at your "resolutions" I think that the actions you took were responsible, in the first case, to clean the existing derived data for the R20 project, whilst in the second, to refresh the DerivedData subfolder where the newly re-created R21 project was supposed to store intermediate files.Please keep us updated and for the mean time I'm going to set this thread as solved.
Cheers
