Is the following problem already known?
1) Create a new C++/CLI project in Visual Studio 2005 (eg. a console application). 2) Include the header <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>.
That's all. When you build and run the application you see the following Windows error message:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application."
Does this also happen with the DLL version of Boost.Threads?
The static library implements thread-local storage cleanup in a way that VS2005 does not support (and MS apparently has no plans to fix that.)
I've been defining BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL in the .NET project now. That seems to work. The C++ DLL still binds to Boost.Thread statically (and doesn't define BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL of course). As the .NET DLL doesn't use Boost.Thread itself I guess it should be fine to define BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL. Boris
