I've taken the liberty of rewriting your example pretty completely. I wanted 
the example to produce a real sound, I wanted it to link with just a regular 
installation of Csound (not a build setup), and I wanted the code to be as 
simple and clear as possible.

I have included an SConstruct file that builds the example on my MinGW/MSys 
setup using only the headers and libraries installed by the Windows Csound 
installer. And, I have added comments to both the SConstruct file and the 
source code file. My build of the example compiles without errors, produces 
a real-time sound, and exits without any errors or backtraces.

I don't know specifically why you were getting a backtrace. Possibly because 
you have two instances of CppSound in your program, when only one is 
required. Or possibly because you specify -+rtaudio without the name of an 
rtaudio module.

Thanks for the stimulus to produce a working example of how to use C++ in a 
very simple way with Csound.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Hi Mike.
Thanks a lot for the info (and the class).  I just signed on to report
that I had found the answer in your refman.pdf, to include CppSound.h
and link to libcsound and lib_csnd.

I'm getting a pretty big backtrace, though, and Csound is aborting
from the attached test2.cpp compiled with the attached g++ command.  I
don't think I did anything wrong with the CppSound part.  I cobbled
together the string manipulations from several folks' suggestions, but
everything runs fine if I comment out cs.compile().
The program is meant to be run simply with an argument of the name of
a real-time module, e.g. portaudio.

Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?  (in this program specifically,
not in my life in general)

It helps a great deal, especially the comments.  I wasn't trying to
make sound, myself, I just want to get a list of available -odac
values, by specifying one that doesn't work.  I can do this using
Python for Windows and Linux, but not Mac.  I still have to make the
part that captures and parses the output; probably just send the whole
output back to Python, since I already have the code to parse it.

I didn't realize I had two CppSound instances, and I saw on looking
again that I used both the C++ and Python initializing commands:
CppSound cs;
and later
cs = CppSound();
taking out the Python one fixes that traceback.  I guess I was
thinking of declaring and later initializing.  I really do know better
than that, it just slipped past me.

The reason for -+rtaudio without a module is that argv[1] is going to
be the module to check for DACs, called from Python when the user
selects a module.

Glad I could contribute, in my own oblivious way.
