wx 3.3.1 on MacOS, mine is crashing all the time. Anyone else have any similar problems?

[Tony Kennedy]

I'm getting a lot of crashes with wx3.3.1 on MacOS.

Even calculating the best size for a wxStaticText object is causing crashes.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Thanks in advance,

Tony.

PS. I've gone back to wx3.3.0 for now.

Backtrace?

OSX version?

confugure command?

Does minimal crashes as well?

Thank you.

I don't have any backtraces, almost anything can cause a problem (and in various places).

>> OSX version?

15.6 and 12.7.4 (M1 and Intel).

>> confugure command?

../../../configure --enable-universal_binary=x86_64,arm64 --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-version-min=10.13 --enable-monolithic --with-expat=sys --with-libtiff=builtin --with-libjpeg=builtin --with-libpng=builtin --with-regex=builtin --with-libwebp=builtin

../../../configure --enable-universal_binary=x86_64,arm64 --enable-debug --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-version-min=10.13 --enable-monolithic --with-expat=sys --with-libtiff=builtin --with-libjpeg=builtin --with-libpng=builtin --with-regex=builtin --with-libwebp=builtin

I only build the full library.

I'm only really asking if others have problems. If it's just me, it must be a problem with how I'm building things.

All the best,

Tony.

You really should post a stack trace to give at least some information
about where the crashes happen. It's impossible to say anything without it,
other than suggest that perhaps you didn't rebuild everything properly
after updating to 3.3.1.

TK> PS. I've gone back to wx3.3.0 for now.

If there is really a fatal bug in wx 3.3.1, it should be possible to find
it by running git-bisect between 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 as there have been
relatively few changes, especially to wxOSX code, between them. Please try
doing this if it's not just a case of a bad build.

Thanks,
VZ

I recently experienced lots of crashes with the grid in
an earlier 3.? version (via wxPython-4.0) installed via
macPorts or pip3 on macOS-10.14 and Windows10. I sent a
stack trace to the list but it didn't help. And I don't
think that it's possible to create a small enough
minimal example. So I had to stick with
wxPython-2.8.12.1 !

cheers,
