I have a Marmalade extension and sample app that passes C-callback to the function from extension, so what happens is whenever extension tries to call the function, it crashes with mysterious message:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000008 Crashed Thread: 0
Although, before I call the function I print it's address and it's different and seems valid. So is it Marmalade restrictions or I am doing something wrong?
p.s: worth to notice I compile my marmalade extension with clang (not gcc) and everything works fine, but callbacks... Although I used default marmalade gcc before and had completely the same issue.
Sample app:
class CDemoApp {
public:
static CDemoApp* getInstance() {
static CDemoApp instance;
return &instance;
}
void setup()
{
app = CreateApp();
window = CreateWindow();
app->AddWindow(window);
view = CreateView("canvas");
button = CreateButton();
button->SetEventHandler("click", (void*)NULL, CDemoApp::onButton1Click);
view->AddChild(button);
window->SetChild(view);
app->ShowWindow(window);
}
void run() {
app->Run();
}
static void onSDKInit(const char* err, void* context) {
printf("Done.\n");
}
static bool onButton1Click(void* data, CButton* button) {
if(!s3eMyExtDidInitialize()) {
// crash happens here.
// extension doesn't perform any ops, just calls the callback with dummy arguments
s3eMyExtDoInitialize(APP_ID, APP_SECRET, CDemoApp::onSDKInit, NULL);
}
return true;
}
private:
CDemoApp() {};
private:
CAppPtr app;
CWindowPtr window;
CViewPtr view;
CButtonPtr button;
};
// Main entry point for the application
int main()
{
if(!s3eMyExtAvailable())
{
s3eDebugErrorShow(S3E_MESSAGE_CONTINUE, "My extension is not found");
return 0;
}
CDemoApp::getInstance()->setup();
CDemoApp::getInstance()->run();
return 0;
}
The function s3eMyExtDoInitialize
exposed from extension looks like that:
typedef void (*my_callback)(const char* error, void* context);
void s3eMyExtDoInitialize_platform(const char* appId, const char* appSecret, my_callback callback, void* context) {
callback(NULL, NULL);
}
Well, apparently there's no way to pass a function pointer from app to extension directly, so Marmalade offers their own callbacks system which should be utilized to get things to work.
