[Paraview] Run Problem using Visual Studio 8.0

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi Amy,

 

Unfortunately, there are still problems with vectors.

 

Built Ok, and I was able to load one of the test files say: blow.vtk

Then try cutting with an implicit plane using the icon in the menu bar - you
will get a debug assertion "vector subscript out of range."

 

Regards

   Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Please update your ParaView 2.4 CVS repository and try building again.  I
checked in changes this afternoon to that CVS branch that should fix your
build problems.  Please let us know if you encounter more problems.

Hi Andrew,

I'm copying this thread back to the ParaView users list to keep other people
up-to-date on this issue.  The error around line 1205 in
vtkClientServerStream.cxx has now been fixed both on the trunk and the 2.4
branch of the ParaView CVS repository.  Another developer at Kitware (who
has a Visual Studio 8.0 compiler) is looking into the problem in
vtkInformationVectorKey.  I'll let you know when it has been fixed.

Hi Amy,
 
It still won't run - an exception is raised at line 1205 in
vtkClientserver.cxx.
 
Thanks for fixing line 239 (I prefer your solution to mine!), but in the
same bug report I also mentioned line1205 and, as I thought, it is not
fixed.
Look at line 1205 - in vtkClientServerStream.cxx [ unsigned char* end =
&*this->Internal->Data.end(); ]
This raises a "vector iterator not dereferencable" error. This is actually
correct behavior; the standard does not allow you to dereference the end
iterator. It just so happens that this compiler picks up this one and no
others do!
 
 
My suggestions would be:
 
1 ) Delete lines 1208 to 1211 and add the following at line 1202:
if(this->Internal->Data.empty())
  {
     return 0;
  }
This does the empty vector check before anything happens.
 
2) You can then (but I don't like it - it's a kludge which fools the
compiler) replace:
unsigned char *end = &*this->Internal->Data.end();
with
unsigned char *end = begin+this->Internal->Data.size()*sizeof(unsigned
char);
 
and the parser seems to work.
 
3) But then you then get a crash at line 138 in vtkInformationVectorKey.cxx.
Once again this line triggers a "vector subscript out of range error".
 
. this is getting complex!   I don't know this code very well. I am guessing
that v is empty and that info is empty also. So something is not being
checked for being empty in ParaView.
 
I suspect something in vtkSMProxy::UpdateVTKObjects(); line 875.
 
Attached is the call stack for this crash.
 
 
4) Could you also disable the deprecated warnings by adding this to the
CMakeLists.txt file?
 
 
I hope all this helps.
 
 
Regards
 
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

A change was made recently (a week ago) to fix this problem both on the
trunk and the 2.4 branch of the ParaView CVS repository.  How recent is your
checkout of ParaView?  If it's older than a week ago, please try updating
the source tree and rebuilding.  If your source tree is up-to-date and
you're still seeing the problem, can you tell where the end iterator is
being dereferenced and will you send us a stack trace?

Hi All,
   I have been able to compile ParaView OK using Visual Studio  8.0 (it
compiles with the usual warnings about {Microsoft} deprecated functions) but
it will not run. 
I have filed a bug report (2926) but I am curious to see if others are able
to run ParaView after compiling with Visual Studio 8.0. The crash seems to
be caused by dereferencing the end iterator.
Am I the only one using Visual Studio 8.0 and ParaView?
 
Andrew
