I use ftgen ONLY to create ftables in csound 5 and CsoundVST on Windows.
Works very well. But I compile with MinGW only.

What is the advantage of using MSVC instead of MinGW? I used to use both
but found no speed difference and MinGW is free, so I dropped MSVC.

I notice that some changes were made to enable plugin ftables. These
might have introduced a bug, which is leading to a crash on my windows
msvc build.

Basically, using the opcode ftgen seems to crash csound, whereas
score-defined
tables are OK.

However, I tested this with Michael's mingw binary and it seems to run OK . 
Howvever,
with his binary I am experiencing a crash with a FOF-based instrument, only
when using realtime audio -odac, a crash that of course happens only 
intermittently
with my binary, aagh!

Anyway, the ftgen problem I identified in line 2234 of fgens.c:

(*csound->gensub[genum])(ftp, csound);     /* call gen subroutine  */

which when commented out, doesn't crash csound.

I'll investigate, but perhaps you might have some clues as to what is the
problem. Ah, one main difference between my binary and Michael's is that
I am using float samps instead of doubles; but it shouldn't matter.
