Q: I'm trying to use the kQ3RendererTypeInteractive renderer, but it crashes frequently.
If I run the program until just before the call to Q3View_StartRendering, and then click the close box of one of
my MetroWerks debugger windows, there is an unrecoverable system crash. Q3Exit always causes the application to
crash, sometimes with a message that a Draw context object still has one reference.
A: It is normal for the debugger to display debug strings in QuickDraw 3D when
you call Q3Exit. These messages indicate memory leaks and such. The messages, which are only displayed
with the debug version of the library, are there to let you know when your code may be causing a memory
leak. There is a sample error and warning handler on AppleLink that you could modify to direct the message
output to a file, thus avoiding the drops to MacsBug.
One way to avoid these messages is to call Q3Object_Dispose on any object that was created with a
Q3xxxx_Getxxxx or Q3xxx_Newxxx call.
