Access violation in unmanaged code: Linking managed with unmanaged static libs

[Pixel.to.life]

Hi, Gurus,

I recently attempted to build a .Net forms application, that links
with old style unmanaged C++ static libs.
Of course I had to recompile the static lib projects to link properly
with the managed application.

My questions are two fold:

[1] The managed project uses /clr and /MDd (in debug) options. The
unmanaged project, when set to build with /clr, and /MDd, gives link
errors with the managed project:

1>Linking...
1>dcmdataD.lib(dcfilefo.obj) : error LNK2022: metadata operation
failed (8013118D) : Inconsistent layout information in duplicated
types (OFConsole): (0x0200007c).
1>dcmdataD.lib(dcfilefo.obj) : error LNK2022: metadata operation
failed (8013118D) : Inconsistent layout information in duplicated
types (OFGlobal<bool>): (0x020000bd).
1>dcmdataD.lib(dcsequen.obj) : error LNK2022: metadata operation
failed (8013118D) : Inconsistent layout information in duplicated
types (OFConsole): (0x0200007e).
......

Why?


[2] If I change the unmanaged project to build with no clr option, it
then links fine with the managed application module. However, this
time I get a run time access violation as soon as the first global
variable is declared inside the unmanaged code:

/* ---------- global condition constants ---------- */
Why?

I am very much exhausted with things to try.

Any input will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

More information:

The application executes fine in a release build configuration. It
just doesnt let me debug in...

I would guess that your structure packing settings aren't the same for all
source files.

Never use /Wp, use #pragma pack instead around only the headers/definitions
that require different packing.

Thanks, ben, but that was not the issue.

I found the fix. Apparently this is a known issue in VC2005 express
edition, so when using a static constructor in unmanaged code with a
managed forms application, the entry point of the managed app should
not be 'main'. Here is the link to the angelic description (I tried,
works like magic

Thanks to all anyways, and special thanks to Jeffrey Tan (MSFT) who
made an effort.
