I'm having problems with the unit test framework when I try to run it in release mode. My compiler is VC++ 6 sp6. The unit test executable I'm building is "Using MFC as a shared DLL" and is set to use the "Multithreaded DLL" runtime library. The test subject code that is linked to this app is built with the same settings.
I'm linking with libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-1_33.lib.
The problem is that when the unit test starts to execute it fails with an access violation. In debug build it works fine. I enabled some debug info in the release build and found that what seems to be happening is a deallocation of "invalid" heap memory, which I'm guessing could be a result of different runtime libs being used. The stack trace at the point of the crash is included below.
From a trace stack it unclear who is responsible for the crash. It could be UTF or it could be Boost.Filesystem library. I wouldn't be abe to debug this (first of all because it's release build and second I do not have vc6 anymore). Why cant you use debug build of the framework?
