managed C++ wrapper around unmanaged C++ classes: causing StackOverflow exception
I've discoverd the problem and am posting here for the benifit of anyone who
reads this.
My problem is that my project is linking with the c run-time library as well
as containing managed code. This is what Microsoft refers to as a Mixed Mode
Project. When doing this, the DLL is set up to have no entry point and thus
no way to setup static variables that are required by the CRT. You have to
initialize and shutdown the CRT yourself. There is a good article in MSDN
that explains all this. The article is titled, "Converting Managed
Extensions for C++ Projects from Pure Intermediate Language to Mixed Mode".
After putting in the init and shutdown code required for the CRT, everything
works fine! The other solution would be to not use the CRT but that was not
an option for me.
