I have a sound program that calls an AudioConverterFillComplexBuffer call with the following code:
OSStatus error = AudioConverterFillComplexBuffer(recorderObj->audioConverter,
MyAudioConverterCallback,
(__bridge void *)playerLocal,
&ioOutputDataPackets,
convertedData,
&streamDesc);
When this code runs 10.6-10.11, it works fine. When the code runs 10.12, it crashes with the following message
Crashed Thread: 16 com.apple.audio.IOThread.client
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
Termination Signal: Illegal instruction: 4
Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0x4
Terminating Process: exc handler [0]
The call column ends at CrashIfClientProvidedBogusAudioBufferList.
Most articles, documentation, and mailing lists say that I have a bad output buffer, but for the rest of my life I can't say what I would do wrong, but still the code works in all versions of MacOS, but the latter. This is how I configure the buffer:
AudioBufferList *convertedData = (AudioBufferList*)malloc(sizeof(AudioBufferList) * 2);
convertedData->mNumberBuffers = 1;
convertedData->mBuffers[0].mNumberChannels = 2;
convertedData->mBuffers[0].mDataByteSize = 64 * 1024;
convertedData->mBuffers[0].mData = (UInt8 *)malloc(sizeof(UInt8) * 64 * 1024);
Here is the full stack at the time of the crash
