help with crash report for AUv3 plugin

Is this an uncaught C++ exception that could have originated from my code? or something else? (this report is from a tester)

(also, why can't crash reporter tell you info about what exception wasn't caught?)

(Per instructions here, to view the crash report, you'll need to rename the attached .txt to .ips to view the crash report)

thanks!

Quite possibly. It’s also possible that this is a C++ exception being throw by system code; the system shouldn’t ever do that but I’ve seen such things in the past.

There is an ongoing problem where Apple’s crash reporter is unable to provide actionable info for C++ exceptions. See this thread for the details.

The easy way to check is to deliberately throw a C++ exception from your code and see if that results in a similar-looking crash report.
