Nsight crashes on application launch Win10 GTX1070

Developer Tools Nsight Visual Studio Edition
1

When trying to debug my application, it runs fine running either through the visual studio debugger or without a debugger. However, when I try to launch via Nsight it crashes. Via the logger of my program I’ve determined the crash is happening on a call to wglChoosePixelFormatARB.

The code for opengl initialization can be found here:
https://pastebin.com/DKJ1QnSg

This code is executing fine on multiple machines but crashes for Nsight.

I got this log from the crash:

I am running windows 10 with the latest updates.
GTX 1070 driver version 388.71.
Previously on this same machine when windows 7 was installed I had no issues running the program.

Hi flayne1996,

I’m sorry for the problem you met.
Can we have your sample please? Then we can identify the issue quickly.

Thanks,

I am getting a crash similar. Software works fine when debugging, running, etc. But if I am Graphics Debugging with NSight it crashes.

Windows 10 and a 1060 GTX.

Specific spot is crashes is using glew and specifically glewInit();

I’m not sure where in the call it crashes but you can get glew here:

http://glew.sourceforge.net/

The exact location of the crash is specified in my original post. The full source code file where the OpenGL initialization occurs can be found here: https://github.com/flayneorange/DontBlink/blob/master/source/WinDontBlink.cpp

Hi flayne1996,

I downloaded the sample as you provided, built the project as the guide build.txt, but it seemed lack of FoxLib.hpp when I tried to compile the project, do you know how to build the project please?

Thanks,
Letitia

I isolated the code in it’s own sample:

http://www.retrosmack.com/peorth/crash.zip

Open the solution in Visual Studio 2017. Build the 64-bit executeable. 32-bit doesn’t seem to cause the crash but 64-bit crashes on my system every time when NSight graphics debugging only.

Hi RevenantBob,

I compiled the solution as release|x64, it showed blank view after launched even without nsight. Is it expected?

Thanks,
Letitia

Yes. It isn’t rendering. glewInit just crashes using NSight for me. So that’s all it pretty much does.

Thanks again for your attention. I’ve updated build.txt to include instructions for downloading and installing foxlib. It is a header only library so it should be trivial to install.

Hi flayne1996,

I re-synced the sample, and then built the project as the new guide build.txt, but I still failed to compile the project, error log as the link Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Hi RevenantBob,

Thanks for your information.
I’ve created an internal bug to track the issue.

Thanks,
