Developing filters with Borland

[rummy]

OK, first post, some simple questions.

Background:
I've compiled the sample invert avisynth filter using Borlands compiler. When I attempt to use it in a script I get an access violation. This naturally leads me to the following questions....


Q1. Can Avisynth filters be compiled using the freely available borland compiler?

Q2. Does the sample invert filter work?

Q3. If Q2 is "yes" and Q1 is "no" is there a free compiler that I can use?

Q4. Is this the wrong forum?

Rummy.

The invert filter sample works. At least with Visual C++.

I don't see any obvious reason why your Borland compiler would not be usable. Can't you use its debugger to find the problem?

[MrTibs]

Could someone provide a filter example that compiles correctly in anything other than VC++?

i.e. Borland Command line tools? (BCC 5.5)

I had same problems. Had to switch to VCpp.

Don't use Borland Command line tools, the binary generated have always some problem (when working on video).

Some example:
- I've tryed it on avs2avi, result: the exe often crash.
- I've written a simple code to detect info from an avs file (and eventual error via avisynth interface), the resulting exe sometime report error (even if the script is ok) or wrong data.

Simply switching to VC6 all the problems are gone.

I dunno what is wrong with bcc... but i don't recommend to use it for this tasks.

Its for all practical matters impossible (as is with gcc). For an extensive explanation see here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41827). Its a pricipal matter, not really the fault of BCC.
