Atlas crash on OSX Mavericks

[wraitii]

Atlas compiles successfully but crashes on startup (either from in-game or the command line). The error given is fairly weird in my case: [NSApplication transformToForegroundApplication]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x103808b10

Update: I've done a lot of step-by-step debugging and in the end I think the culprit are the "[NSApplication transformToForegroundApplication]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x102f22d70" errors I get.

I've tried de-threading the Scenario editor to see what the error was, and was still unable to get a window. This is because we never call the wxApp "OnInit" when starting the scenarioEditor. However ActorEditor does, and starts successfully. I've debugged this step by step, and it turns out the culprit is code at line 367 or utils.mm in src/osx/cocoa/, which was added in ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/75142 after reports that non-bundled apps did not work anymore. Somehow, it fails with the above error, whereas actor editor doesn't. FYI, changing ActorEditor project to start ScenarioEditor does run OnInit, though that doesn't work since it lacks a few things. Still working on this.

Need a call stack or something, OS X actually generates pretty good reports on most crashes, I don't know if they work as well in Atlas. There's always a chance that it's another bug in wxWidgets, or something that changed in their init process from 2.9 to 3.0.

Attached two. They are not 100% similar.

Xcode reports the crash in a slightly different place. I also get "segmentation fault: 11" in Terminal.

From those callstacks:

I initially guessed the new thread just wasn't calling g_Profiler2.RegisterCurrentThread (so CProfiler2::GetThreadStorage returned NULL), but it looks like it is :-( . Can you test if PROFILE2 works when called immediately after that? and if so, try to work out at what point it stops working, in case something is inexplicably resetting the TLS data. (But I don't see how that can happen.)

[wraitii]

Okay, so the two earlier call stacks are useless, I had commented out "g_Profiler2.RegisterCurrentThread" and forgot to revert. I've provided the new one.

The behavior is hanging for a really long while with the [NSApplication transformToForegroundApplication]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x102f22d70 error, and crashing thereafter. Attached callstack.

I've also attached xCode's debugging when the crash happens.

[wraitii]

added Another one that's more information-full, we get a crash when trying to create the CmdLineArgs object, something about n > max_size() throwing an error. It seems to me the cast goes wrong somehow.

It doesn't always happen that way though, which is odd.

[wraitii]

After commenting the command line argument stuffs (which weren't needed) and some other code. I get EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION with code EXC_I386_INVOP in random parts of that loop, unless I comment out the whole inner loop (starting with the while around l170).

It appears however I have no g_renderer nor any g_gui or similar.

If I try to run with -editor, it crashes with this:
