Hi All
If you have native code consumed by managed applications, this may interest you.
We have a large native C++ library, algorithmic in nature. We need to use it inside managed applications (written in one of the .NET languages). To achieve this, we wrap the C++ with Managed C++ wrapper classes packaged into an assembly, which the .NET application can use.
I wanted to find memory problems within my native code.
Initially I set my startup project to be the C# application. That did not work and I got this from Inspector:
This project type is not supported. Cannot start analysis.
Eventually, what I did is to set the startup object to be the native library, and in the Debugging options, I set my application as the startup command.
This was accepted, and Inspector ran and found the leak properly.
I would personally change Inspector to agree to start on a managed project, as it can always use native libraries internally. Anyway, at least there is a way around it.
