hxtelemetry doesn't work
i suspect the forked verison of hxcpp is causing an issue - googling, i found this https://github.com/jcward/hxtelemetry/issues/42 , which i have the exact same stack trace when compiling (vs2015):
a060308a_HxTelemetry.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl __hxcpp_hxt_start_telemetry(bool,bool)" (?__hxcpp_hxt_start_telemetry@@YAH_N0@Z) referenced in function "public: int __thiscall hxtelemetry::HxTelemetry_obj::init_profiler_for_this_thread(void)" (?init_profiler_for_this_thread@HxTelemetry_obj@hxtelemetry@@QAEHXZ)

see https://github.com/Kode/Kha/issues/607 for a workaround
(and secretly snooping around in your repo's :innocent: you could try to use adobe's scout for profiling in flash if thats an option for you)
@sh-dave : yea, i might try flash - tho i really prefer to profile the CPP version since it's more likely to be the final target.
sure, just wanted to point out that the usually biggest performance bottleneck (allocs/gc) is very good to profile in scout (it was actually even better than hxscout the last time i tried). and all problems you have in flash in that regard are likely to be worse in native (seems flash has a better gc).
that said, i only do development on flash, but it won't be a release target for me neighter. but for development it's pretty great
- extremely fast builds compared to native
- very good debugging experience in flash/haxedevelop
- very good profiling support with scout
Seems like managed it to work, based on investigations from #607
Comment whole line: https://github.com/Kode/Kha/blob/c9c5ac70c4d77a50e49df78cc87584a590003afc/korefile.js#L33
Add to khafile.js in your project:
//...
project.addParameter('-D HXCPP_TELEMETRY');
project.addParameter('-D HXCPP_STACK_TRACE');
project.addDefine('HXCPP_DEBUGGER');
project.addCDefine('HXCPP_DEBUGGER');
project.addDefine('HXCPP_PROFILER');
project.addCDefine('HXCPP_PROFILER');
project.addLibrary('hxcpp-debugger');
project.addParameter('-debug');
project.addLibrary('hxtelemetry');
project.addCDefine('HXCPP_TELEMETRY');
project.addCDefine('HXCPP_STACK_TRACE');
project.addDefine('HXCPP_VISIT_ALLOCS');
project.addCDefine('HXCPP_VISIT_ALLOCS');
//...
It looks strange, that HXCPP_TELEMETRY and HXCPP_STACK_TRACE flags added both as parameter with -D and as CDefine, but it is the only way to see all allocations within hxScout , as far as I see.
Add this code:
void __hxcpp_dbg_threadCreatedOrTerminated(int threadNumber, bool created) { }
At this line: https://github.com/Kode/khacpp/blob/1fc1cfc120d7704d4b297f23337134d29d5380e3/src/hx/Debugger.cpp#L1254
With mentioned changes, application connects to hxScout both with VS debugger attached or standalone.
Some of this changes may be excessive or incorrect, but at least it works.
I did comment excludes from krom, but it can't be compiled :(

upd:
Ahaa, Kha/Backends/Kore/khacpp/src/hx/Thread.cpp:332 isn't commented! now compiled fine!
