Issues with "Valid State Transition" tests

Developer VST 3 SDK
1

When building a plug-in I’m working on with the validator activated, the validation and thus the build fails at the

[Valid State Transition 64bits]
  Info:  ===Valid State Transition 64bits ============================

I’m assuming that the 32bits/64bits Valid State Transition tests are related to whether your plugin can process 32/64 bit sample sizes, however my canProcessSampleSize function still is the default:

    tresult PLUGIN_API split_timesProcessor::canProcessSampleSize(int32 symbolicSampleSize)
	{
		// by default kSample32 is supported
		if (symbolicSampleSize == Vst::kSample32)
			return kResultTrue;

		// disable the following comment if your processing support kSample64
		/*if (symbolicSampleSize == Vst::kSample64)
			return kResultTrue; */

		return kResultFalse;
	}

As my plugin explicitly only supports 32-bit sample sizes, it shouldn’t fail at a 64-bit test because that test shouldn’t happen in the first place, should it? Or am I getting something wrong here?

Editing to add the error it returns after that test:

  [Valid State Transition 64bits]

The build does not fail because the specified test is failing. If a test fails it is stated in the output. Have you run this in a debugger? I bet that your plug-in is crashing the validator.
