[Audiere-users] Arrays of soundeffects

[Zeuss (Caswal)]

To make handling of a large amount of sound effects easier i was
writting a system that loads files, keeps track of they're names, and
runs a paralell array of soundeffects. This is a quick example of what
i have so far

...class definitions
//File Streams
SoundEffectPtr *sound_effects;
... other class definitions

Then to initialise the pointers i have on the constructer
sound_effects = new SoundEffectPtr[effect_count];

And then to load a sound effect:
sound_effects[cur_effect] = OpenSoundEffect(device, lsz_data, SINGLE );

Well, this crashes. And im completely new to Audiere.
Also what is the proper way to delete a soundeffect or does it do it
autmatically
Thanks.

Hi Zeuss,

Seems odd that it would crash. What specific line causes the crash?

To answer your second question, when you delete[] the array of SoundEffectPtrs,
it should clean them up automatically. (That's why smart pointers are handy.)
Maybe you should try using a std::vector<SoundEffectPtr> instead of SoundEffectPtr*.

Any way you could make a reduced testcase?
