EXC_BAD_ACCESS with wxWidgets in OSX

Question

I'm trying to build the very first basic wxWidgets app in OS X 10.8 with XCode 4.6. I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error in window SetName().

Here is the code I used:

#include "main.h"
#include <wx/wx.h>

class MyApp : public wxApp
{
    virtual bool OnInit();
};

IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp)

bool MyApp::OnInit()
{
    wxFrame *frame = new wxFrame(NULL, -1, wxT("Hello World"), wxPoint(50, 50),
                                  wxSize(450, 350));       
    frame->Show(true);
    return true;
}

EDIT after comment: sorry bout that

here is the chain of error:

1) Create(parent, id, title, pos, size, style, name);
2) if (!wxTopLevelWindow::Create(parent, id, title, pos, size, style, name);
3) if (!wxNonOwnedWindow::Create(parent, id, title, pos, size, style, name))
4) setName(name);
5) m_impl = stringSrc.m_impl;

after that it's machine code

EDIT2 : just tried with wxWidgets 3.0 and it's the same.

Answer 1

You seem to have a bad, or at least incompatible with your program, build of wxWidgets as you absolutely shouldn't be getting the crash in wxString assignment as you seem to do. Plesse rebuild wxWidgets and your own application using exactly the same compiler and compilation options and the problem should just magically disappear.
