Newton world break due to access violation

[chaiein]

Code: Select all

 
#include "newton.h"
...
..
..
int main()
{
NewtonWorld* nWorld=NewtonCreate();
}

When My execution point reaches this place it gives me warning as access violation and break there.
How to solve this problem?

I never saw that case.

I am using newton sdk for games developed using Irrlicht graphics Engine.

so far I know newton created does not crash on creation.
but if is does, the engine is open source you can link to a debug library and see where is crashing.

That is usually the first function being called. Could it be that it doesn't find the Newton.dll?
Which version are you using, 2.xx or 3.0?

[Stucuk]

NewtonCreate with 2.0 (At least since 2.11) has additional parameters. So it could be that the header and DLL are not compatible. I assume that if you tried to use a NewtonCreate() which doesn't supply the needed parameters that Newton would get the 2 parameters set with whatever is currently in the memory rather than being set to nil (Thus meaning that when newton tries to use them to create/free memory it will cause an access violation).

I believe the later newton 2, does not expect parameters. From newton 2.35:

Code: Select all

NEWTON_API NewtonWorld* NewtonCreate ();


The most likely cause is an inaccessible dll (missing or corrupt)

Delphi header and the Wiki are wrong then(They still have the two parameters).
