_CrtIsValidHeapPointer assertion raised

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have developed a class library that wraps an existing unmanaged class library. All of this is done under Visual C++ 2005 (after realizing that it is virtually impossible under VC 2003).

I am trying to use the wrapper classes in a simple Forms application. In the debug mode, I am getting a _CrtIsValidHeapPointer assertion before any of my code is invoked. To ease troubleshooting, the debugger does not breakpoint nor provide any Call Stack information.

I have made sure that the Runtime Libraries options are compatible between all projects (Multithreaded Debug DLL).

Any suggestion ?

You migth try statically linked run-time instead of dynamic. You have to check some other options like pointer alignment and such. Some options might be fundamentally incompatible between .NET options and C++ run-time...

Compare default options of a new projects of each types (that is options for an unmanaged libraries and options for a .NET application (or library).

Does the release version seems to works.

You might also consider to post the list of options you have modified in either project and the list of options that are different between an unmanaged class library and and a managed one.
