Reply To: EXE_BAD_ACCESS error in Xcode

[emilio.saffi]

I was debugging a bit this morning and I seem to have found the cause of the issue. XCode was catching the EXE_BAD_ACCESS when trying to use a null reference in the NodeCanvas.Framework.Task.Set protected function:

To mitigate this I replaced the try/catch blocks with some code that would not throw the same exception. I would be grateful if you could review the following fix and share your thoughts on it:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

//Actions and Conditions call this before execution. Returns if the task was sucessfully initialized as well protected bool Set(Component newAgent, IBlackboard newBB){   //set blackboard with normal setter first blackboard = newBB;   /// DIVERGENCE /// MORI /// emilio.saffi /// Xcode was catching EXE_BAD_ACCESS if (agentIsOverride){ newAgent = (Component)overrideAgent.value; }   if (current && newAgent && current.gameObject == newAgent.gameObject ){ return isActive = true; }   return isActive = Initialize(newAgent, agentType); /// DIVERGENCE /// MORI /// emilio.saffi /// Xcode was catching EXE_BAD_ACCESS }
