Invisible geometry in DX11
After struggling for many hours to understand and compensate for Microsoft's deprecation of D3DX in Windows 8, I've run into a problem that I can't shake off.
The first time I started my program, it became immortal because of an access violation. After having restarted my computer and recompiling and running the same code, it doesn't crash, but the cube I should be seeing just isn't there.
I'm also getting a warning that "object declared on the heap may not be aligned 16". AFAIK from my research, this usually occurs because of XNA Math. So, after finding this discussion I litteraly tried everything that was being suggested. Everything except for the XMFLOAT4X4 solution worked, but my cube is still invisible. Here's the part of the code I think is relevant:
class IEGame : public DX11InfernalEngineBase
{
public:
//...
bool LoadContent()
{
//...
Vertex vertices[] =
{
{ XMFLOAT3(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f), XMFLOAT2(0.0f, 0.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f), XMFLOAT2(1.0f, 0.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), XMFLOAT2(1.0f, 1.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), XMFLOAT2(0.0f, 1.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f), XMFLOAT2(0.0f, 0.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f), XMFLOAT2(1.0f, 0.0f) },

{ XMFLOAT3(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f), XMFLOAT2(0.0f, 1.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f), XMFLOAT2(0.0f, 0.0f) },
{ XMFLOAT3(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f), XMFLOAT2(1.0f, 0.0f) },

UPDATE : So, after enabling the D3D Debug Device, I get this in the output. I really can't make sense of it.

UPDATE : My XMMATRIXs are now properly aligned. The cube is still invisible though. I also can't find the Visual Studio Graphics Debugger. I know where it it should be according to my research, it just isn't there.

Well, I finally found the solution. As the VS Graphics Debugger gave no errors, I had to do some random things that actually worked.
I HAD to create a rasterizer state before anything became visible. It turned out that my cube was inside out too, so I set the FrontCounterClockWise field of D3D11_RASTERIZER_DESC to false. I also zoomed the camera out by setting the following line in Render():
translationMatrix = XMMatrixTranslation(0.0f, 0.0f, 4.0f);
I also created a scissor rectangle; I don't know whether that had anything to do with the solution.
Here's where I found all the relevant stuff: This MSDN page.
Thanks for everybody's help, I cleared out the try-catch nonsense too with an inline function.

The key issue here is that you are using XMMATRIX which requires 16-byte alignment as a class member which is heap allocated, but new on x86 (32-bit) only provides 8-byte alignment by default.
This is exactly what XMFLOAT4X4, XMLoadFloat4x4, and XMStoreFloat4x4 exist to resolve.
XMMATRIX vm = XMMatrixIdentity();
XMMATRIX pm = XMMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(XM_PIDIV4, 800.0f / 600.0f, 0.01f, 100.0f);
XMStoreFloat4x4( &viewMatrix_, XMMatrixTranspose(vm) );
XMStoreFlaot4x4( &projMatrix_, XMMatrixTranspose(pm) );
XMFLOAT4X4 viewMatrix_;
XMFLOAT4X4 projMatrix_;
That or you can just switch to coding in x64 (64-bit) native which has 16-byte alignment by default and you can use XMMATRIX or XMVECTOR as a class member without any worry about alignment in most cases.
This is addressed on MSDN in the DirectXMath Programming Guide. See Getting Started, Type Usage Guidelines
You should also take a look at the SimpleMath wrapper in the DirectX Tool Kit. Those types handle this load/store behavior with C++ "magic":
#include <SimpleMath.h>
XMMATRIX vm = XMMatrixIdentity();
XMMATRIX pm = XMMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(XM_PIDIV4, 800.0f / 600.0f, 0.01f, 100.0f);
viewMatrix_ = XMMatrixTranspose(vm);
projMatrix_ = XMMatrixTranspose(pm);
DirectX::SimpleMath::Matrix viewMatrix_;
DirectX::SimpleMath::Matrix projMatrix_;
If you haven't seen these yet, be sure to read:
- Where is the DirectX SDK?
- Living without D3DX
- DirectX SDK Tools Catalog
- DirectX SDK Samples Catalog
- DirectX SDKs of a certain age
- Direct3D Win32 Game Visual Studio template
EDIT For Windows desktop DirectX development, you should use Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition if you aren't already using VS 2013 Professional+. It includes the VS Graphics Debugger which VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop does not.
