🎯 Integration Points¶
Minimal Integration (Production Mode)¶
// Add to plugin initialization
DiagnosticFramework* diag = DiagnosticFramework::getInstance();
DiagnosticConfig config;
config.mode = DiagnosticMode::Production; // <1% overhead
config.enableCrashHandler = true; // Just crash handling
diag->initialize(config);
// That's it! Automatic crash dumps on failure
Medium Integration (Development Mode)¶
// Add to plugin initialization
config.mode = DiagnosticMode::Development; // ~5% overhead
config.enableCrashHandler = true;
config.enableMemoryDebugger = true;
config.enableProfiling = true;
diag->initialize(config);
// In processBlock()
{
PROFILE_SCOPE("ProcessBlock");
// ... your audio code ...
}
// On shutdown
auto stats = profiler->getStatistics();
profiler->exportFlameGraph("profile.svg");
Full Integration (Debugging Mode)¶
// Add to plugin initialization
config.mode = DiagnosticMode::Debugging; // ~20% overhead
config.enableAll = true;
diag->initialize(config);
// Setup all subsystems (see full example in COMPLETE_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md)
🔧 Overhead Comparison¶
Mode | Overhead | Features | Use Case
──────────────┼──────────┼─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────
Disabled | 0% | Nothing | Shipping release
Production | <1% | Crash handling only | End users
Development | 5-10% | Profiling + memory + events | Active development
Debugging | 20-30% | Everything enabled | Bug hunting

Crash Report¶
# Crash Report
**Timestamp**: 2025-10-15 14:23:45
**Plugin**: YourPlugin v1.2.3
**OS**: Windows 10 (Build 19045)
**CPU**: Intel Core i7-9700K @ 3.60GHz
## Stack Trace
## Analysis
**Root Cause**: Null pointer dereference in FilterBank::apply()
**Confidence**: 95%
**Suggested Fixes**:
1. Initialize filter coefficients in constructor
2. Add null check before accessing filter state
3. Implement lazy initialization pattern
**Evidence**:
- Exception code: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation)
- Address: 0x0000000000000000 (NULL)
- Instruction: mov rax, qword ptr [rcx]
