Hi Thomas,
Thanks for sending that on. Linking the CRT as static is a good idea
for compatibility in this case (since it doesn't match the one Nuke will
be using), though make sure all your memory is allocated and freed
inside your plug-in and not anywhere else, or the wrong heap might be
used, which would cause a crash. The multi-byte characters option is
interesting, and not something I've looked into, but if it helps, then
great.
There are two things that are still likely to bring up crashes: building
in debug mode, and using STL containers. The sizes and locations of
objects will be different between debug and release, and between STL
versions (such as the STL versions in VS2005 and 2008), which is the
most common cause for the problems. If you can avoid those differences
as much as possible (by using things such as the _SECURE_SCL=0 option)
then hopefully things will work OK for you.
Cheers,
- Chris

Hey Steve,
i can run all samples without any problems (at least the ones i tried). You're
right, they died during my first runs as well. But i changed some project
settings, and they seem to work without any problems:
- multi byte characters
- linked my crt as static
so right now, everything is fine. I just encountered some strange errors when
setting up some host memory, have to compare this with visual studio 2005
tomorrow. I also encounter some other problems (in terms of crashes when
constructing the node) if i'm running my plugin in a debug session. So yeah,
there might be something, i probably didn't step on it until *now*.
I found out that when i allocate all of my memory during construction of my
plugin, there are no crashes. Said, i need to compare this with 2005 tomorrow.

Thomas,
The problems are devious and numerous. Plugins would randomly crash upon
connection in a script; the viewer would show banding and snow, and things
just didn’t work in multi-threaded mode. If you take any of the sample
nodes, for example, and try to compile them in either 2010 or 2008, then
instantly die. Compile them in 2005 and they work the first time.
I now will use nothing but 2005 in any of my development, and things have
been *infinitely* better since I made that decision.
Steve

Hi Steve,
can you explain me what you tried exactly? I'm working on a (more or less
heavy) Nuke plugin right now, doing it with VC2010 and everything is still
fine.
Don't want to run into troubles though, but it looks good right now. The
only thing that might bug around (IMO) is memory management. However, i
don't have problems with that. (now...)
just curious,
Thomas

For going on three weeks now, I've been experimenting with various Visual
Studio versions in doing Nuke Plugin development. That entire time has been
spent trying to track down various and sundry 0x0000000000000000 and
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF invalid memory references from inside Nuke.
Here's my final verdict:
You can't do Nuke Plugin development with anything other than Visual
Studio 2005.
To use a Tron-Ism... End of Line.
