The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function ca

[ulao]

I have this strange situation. I get this error "The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call." when I run my application. I know this commonly points to dll's not matching libs and what not but that just can't be in this case. I had my application working ( irrlicth 1.7.2 ) with the irrODE physics wrapper ( 2009 ). I when a head and did a back up of my source and proceed updating the irrOde to (2011). After doing so I get this error.

I figured I would revert, well I only backed up my source not the libs and dlls. So I tried to find the old files and put them in place. I did a clean and build with again, the same error. I talked to brainsaw ( irrOde author ) and he has no idea. The debug crashes at the ODE initphysiscs function. So I'm guessing its not irrlicht. The irrODE is a static lib no dll. In order to use it I must include the ode_single.dll form the ODE engine but this file has not changed since 09.

At this point I have no idea what could have cause this and having nothing left to revert to. So I'm faced fighting it. The calling convention I use is the default ( __cdecl ). the irrOde lib is also built with this calling convention and I can only assume the ode_single is as well. So I don't think that is the issue. The static lib has no dll, so its not a miss match and the ode_single.dll is just an ODE reference for the wrapper that has never changed. So what left could this mean?


____________
small update
____________
I went a head and built my own new ODE_single.dll and the environment is in fact the same calling convention. My new dll did not fix anything.

Figured I'd also include some code.

This is the line I crash on

Code: Select all

void initPhys (){ CIrrOdeManager::getSharedInstance()->initPhysics();}

this is the lib function that gets called.

Code: Select all

 
void CIrrOdeManager::initPhysics() {

already tried a complete recompile of all the libraries? I got blue screens in past for an out-to date dll. In this cases is much help using a single compile target for all your libraries (so that you are sure that everything is correctly compiled with 1 click.. I also had problems with my IDE wich was not compiling some new files and I had to clean from object files and recompile everything from 0).

yeah I recompiled from ODE to Irrlicht. This one is continuously beating me. I'm pretty sure its the irrOde wrapper at this point.

You'll see problems like this if your includes, libs and dlls don't match up. You probably have an old DLL knocking around in your search path

was dirty source file I guess. The author re-uploaded the source and I did a rebuild on the lib. Now it works.
