Debug Assertion Failure

[nalasimbha]

Hello,

I have a dll that I wrote and a driver program to call that dll. Both the programs were written in VC++ 2008 express edition. The program takes in 2 strings as a command line argument and passes it to the dll which prints the 2 strings in the standard output. The problem that I have is when I pass the 2 strings and execute the program I get the following

Debug Assertion Failure
Program:....
File:..\src\dbgheap.c
Line:1317
Expression: _CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)

This error also occurs only for certain command line arguments such as
"C:\Test Folder\Test Folder" "C:\Test Folder" or
"Winter Spring Summer Fall" "Seasons"

If the command line arguments were as follows
"Winter" "Spring"
the program executes without any error.

Also I would like to point out that while compiling both the dll and the exe, I used the following flag for the Code Generation under the project properties.

Runtime Library: Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)

If I change the Runtime Library to Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd), the program works fine for all the above command line arguments.

Please do not tell me that I should be using the Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd). It is for some reason I need to use Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd).

I am also providing you the code for the dll and the driver.

CreateDLL.h

#include <string>
using namespace std;

#ifndef HEADER_H
#define HEADER_H

#ifdef EXPORT

#define DLL_EXPORT	__declspec( dllexport )

#else

#define DLL_EXPORT	__declspec( dllimport )

#endif

extern "C" DLL_EXPORT int StringMani(string a, string b);

#endif

CreateDLL.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "CreateDLL.h"

using namespace std;

extern "C" int StringMani(string a, string b)
{
	char	*one,
		*two;

	int	len1,
		len2;

	len1	=	a.length() + 1;
	len2	=	b.length() + 1;

	one	=	new char[len1];
	two	=	new char[len2];

	strcpy(one, a.c_str());
	strcpy(two, b.c_str());

	cout << "a is: " << one << endl;
	cout << "b is: " << two << endl;

	delete[] one;
	delete[] two;
	return 1;
}

Driver.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "CreateDLL.h"
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	int ret_val;
	
	string	a,
		b;

	a	=	argv[1];
	b	=	argv[2];

	HINSTANCE hDLL;

	int(*fn)(string, string);
	hDLL	=	LoadLibrary("CreateDLL.dll");

	if (hDLL)
	{
		fn	=	(int (__cdecl *)(string, string)) GetProcAddress(hDLL, "StringMani");

		if (fn)
		{
			ret_val = fn(a, b);
		}
	}
}

Thanks in advance

Your code is not formatted. Format your code and then we will help you.http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-38.html

What do you mean by code is not formatted? The code is between CODE tags

[alexchen]

Read this link.you.http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-38.html
Your code is almost unreadable.

Your code is almost unreadable.

Are you on crack? The code is both consistent and intelligently formatted. The only truly odd thing I can see is a tab on both sides of the assignment operator, but that's hardly enough to cause one to trip up when reading.
