Sorry for the long question. I just wanted to include everything that I know about the problem at the moment.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to create a Windows Form program in C# that calls a library written in C++.
The C++ DLL analyzes measurement data, which consists of several samples. The samples are passed to the library by a function (PDSetWaveSample) which takes a struct as a parameter.
After all samples are set, the measurement data is processed with another function (PDPreProcess) which also takes a struct as a parameter.
The C++ DLL is holding all the measurement data in its internal data structures and does all the processing to obtain results.
Everything seems to function correctly until the program starts processing the measurement data. At that point the program crashes and exits with this error:
The program 'XXX.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005).
I’ll add some more debugging information and the C# source code later in this question.
Do you have any hints how to go forward or what probably could cause this?
I am running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 SP 3.
When the program crashes, it first gives this error message
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' occurred in Unknown Module.
and the possibility to Break or Continue. I choose to Break.
After that I look at the assembly:
No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed.
According to the debugger, the assembly at the point where the error happens looks like this:
7C90E4FA call 7C90E528
7C90E4FF mov eax,dword ptr [esp]
7C90E502 mov esp,ebp
7C90E504 pop ebp
7C90E505 ret
7C90E506 lea esp,[esp]
7C90E50D lea ecx,[ecx]
7C90E510 mov edx,esp
7C90E512 sysenter
==>7C90E514 ret
7C90E515 lea esp,[esp]
7C90E51C lea esp,[esp]
7C90E520 lea edx,[esp+8]
7C90E524 int 2Eh
7C90E526 ret
7C90E527 nop
7C90E528 push ebp
7C90E529 mov ebp,esp
7C90E52B pushfd
The execution stops at 7C90E514 ret (which I marked with ==>)
The output window shows the following messages:

I have created a wrapper class for the C++ DLL. The wrapper class is based on the header file for the library:

} PDWaveBurst;
PDWAVE_API int __stdcall PDSetWaveSample(PDWaveSample *pWaveSample);
PDWAVE_API int __stdcall PDPreProcess(int nSample, PDWaveBurst *pWaveBurst);
and the C# wrapper class is:

The Windows Forms application is using these functions in the following way:
I have simplified the function a little bit. Actually the measurements are read from a serial line using a third party ActiveX component.

}
}
catch (Exception ex)

WaveSampleData.bValid = true;
WaveSampleData.fPressure = 12.432;
WaveSampleData.fDistance = 2.64;
WaveSampleData.fVel = dVel;
WaveSampleData.nAmp = usAmp;

WaveBurstData.fST = new float[4096];
WaveBurstData.fWinFloor = (float)1.25;
WaveBurstData.fWinCeil = 2;
WaveBurstData.bUseWindow = false;
WaveBurstData.bSTOk = false;

Cpp_LibraryWrapper.PDPreProcess(nSamples, ref WaveBurstData);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString());

}
}
}
Everything seems to go well until the program reaches the measurement processing phase. When
Cpp_LibraryWrapper.PDPreProcess(nSamples, ref WaveBurstData);
is called, the execution stops with this error:
The program 'XXX.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005).
I have set these debugging options:
- Enable unmanaged code debugging
- Enable the Visual Studio hosting process
- Common Language Runtime Exceptions “Thrown”
- Win32 Exceptions -> Access violation “Thrown”
Your structs are marshalled incorrectly because you didn't declare the arrays quite right. You need to tell the marshaller that they are fixed length arrays.
EDIT
In my original answer I missed the addition error that the bool members were not marshalled correctly. The default marshalling is for the 4 byte Windows BOOL but you need 1 byte C++ bool. The code below now handles that correctly. Sorry for the confusion.
public struct PDWaveSample
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bValid;
public float fPressure;
public float fDistance;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeConst=4)]
public float[] fVel;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeConst=4)]
public ushort[] nAmp
}
public struct PDWaveBurst {
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeConst=4096)]
public float[] fST;
public float fWinFloor;
public float fWinCeil;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bUseWindow;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bSTOk;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bGetRawAST;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bValidBurst;
}
Actually, I had to marshall the arrays as ByValArray. Otherwise the running environment had something to complain about:
"A first chance exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in CalculationForm.exe
Additional information: Cannot marshal field 'fVel' of type 'PdWaveApi.PDWaveSample': Invalid managed/unmanaged type combination (Arrays fields must be paired with ByValArray or SafeArray)."
So, I changed the struct to this:
public struct PDWaveSample
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bValid;
public float fPressure;
public float fDistance;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=4)]
public float[] fVel;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=4)]
public ushort[] nAmp
}
public struct PDWaveBurst {
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=4096)]
public float[] fST;
public float fWinFloor;
public float fWinCeil;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bUseWindow;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bSTOk;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bGetRawAST;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)]
public bool bValidBurst;
}
