Visual Studio / Game Engine / Vtune v8

[cathode26]

Processor Pentium 4 HT

I am a student and I am using Dr. Parberry's student made game enginecalled SAGE at http://larc.csci.unt.edu/sage/. When I try to run Vtune over it I get an assert error in the renderer.cpp. These are the steps thatI follow:

1)Open Sage Demo 6

2) Click on solution explorer

3) Right click on the solution and select add new item

4) Select the Vtune Performance Option

5) Select a Call Graph activity

6) Select dot.net

7) Select the executable

8) "checked" run activity when done

I have tried /fixed:no

So I get this assert error in the renderer, so I went and added some debugging statements that should give me some informationon theassert, but it appears as if it skips over the code and goes straight to the assert.

This code is supposed to create a file called example.txt and write yes or broke. But the file is not created when I run vtune over it. But the file is created when I dont run vtune with it. So I am thinking I am doing something wrong when I run vtune that there is some kind of starting address error. If there is anything anyone notices is wrong with how I ran vtune thehelp would be very appreciated.

Thanks Vincent

//---------------------------------------------------------Sample

int Renderer::cacheTextureDX(const char *filename, bool defaultDirectory)

{

// Check if texture already loaded

int slot = findTexture(filename); if (slot > 0) { return slot;

}

// set directory if requested if (defaultDirectory)

gDirectoryManager.setDirectory(eDirectoryTextures);

// TODO: fix this sketch // Fake allocate it

slot = allocTexture(filename, 1, 1);

// Replace with D3DX-loaded texture

textureCacheList[slot]->d3dTexture->Release();

HRESULT hresult = D3DXCreateTextureFromFile(pD3DDevice, filename, &(textureCacheList[slot]->d3dTexture));

ofstream myfile;

myfile.open ("example.txt", ios::app);

assert(myfile.is_open());

if(hresult == 0)

{

myfile << hresult + "yes ";

}

else

{

myfile <<

"broke "<

}

myfile.close();

//------------------------This is the Assert That dies

assert(SUCCEEDED(hresult));

return slot;

I thought of another problem that could be 

causing what appears to be a memory position

issue. There are two projects being compiled 

in 1 solution.  So when I add new item,  

from vtune I am only adding it to one of 

the projects and then running the .exe.  

Does anyone know if there are any special 

configurations for multiple projects and 

1 solution?  Or if vtune is just not capable 

of multi projects?

//--------------  SOLUTION

For some reason vtune is looking in different 

directories for files, like sound files, texture 

files.  I was able to fix the problem by just

moving the files.
