PInvokeStackImbalance C# call to unmanaged C++ function

Question

After switching to VS2010, the managed debug assistant is displaying an error about an unbalanced stack from a call to an unmanaged C++ function from a C# application.

Answer 1

You specify stdcall in C# but not in C++, a mismatch here will lead to both the function and the caller popping arguments off of the stack.

On the other hand there is a compiler switch that will turn on stdcall as the default calling convention, (-Gz) are you using that?

Or try this in your C++

short __stdcall SuperSpecialOpenFileFunc(SuperSpecialStruct * stuff);
