POCOM registration fails with error code 0xC0000005
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm working on a legacy project which contains several C++ COM Dlls. Every time the solution is built on debug configuration, the build process gives errors for each COM project:</p> <pre><code>Error 10 error MSB3073: The command " regsvr32 /s /c "D:\*****removed intentionally****_d.dll" echo regsvr32 exec. time > ".\Debug\regsvr32.trg" echo Server registration done! :VCEnd " exited with code -1073741819. </code></pre> <p>I'v recently joined this project, so when I asked about it, I've been told that everyone just ignore those errors because the solution builds successfully on the second build.</p> <p>I decided to dig deeper and it appears that the COM registration itself succeeds (which explains why the 2nd build did not reattempt to register), but the call to regsvr32 returns an error code (0xC0000005). And that's whats failing the build.</p> <p>I also tried to remove the registration from the custom build step, and instead chose to register from the Linker property sheet "Register Output=YES", and got the same error.</p> <p>I tried to debug regsvr32 with one of the dlls and found the following things:</p> <ol> <li><p>I couldn't put a breakpoint in DllRegisterServer at first, I then tried to debug the X86 version of regsvr32 (from Windows\SysWOW64), and only then I could break on DllRegisterServer. Can someone explain this?</p></li> <li><p>DllRegisterServer succeeds and return S_OK.</p></li> <li><p>After DllRegisterServer returns, an exception is thrown with the following exception and stack trace:</p></li> </ol> <blockquote> <p>First-chance exception at 0x759849c1 in regsvr32.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x005bf028.</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>oleaut32.dll!_MemFree@4() + 0x25 bytes oleaut32.dll!OLE_TYPEMGR::Release() + 0x1b138 bytes oleaut32.dll!ReleaseAppData() + 0x317 bytes oleaut32.dll!_OACleanup@0() + 0x5 bytes ole32.dll!wCoUninitialize(COleTls & Tls, int fHostThread) Line 2830 C++ ole32.dll!CoUninitialize() Line 2620 C++ regsvr32.exe!_wWinMain@16() + 0xa77 bytes regsvr32.exe!__initterm_e() + 0x1b1 bytes kernel32.dll!@BaseThreadInitThunk@12() + 0x12 bytes ntdll.dll!___RtlUserThreadStart@8() + 0x27 bytes ntdll.dll!__RtlUserThreadStart@8() + 0x1b bytes </code></pre> <p>So What is your take on this? Should I ignore it like the rest of the team (the product works fine in development and production)?</p> <p>Do you have an idea why I would get an access violation even though the registration succeeds? is there any other process/logic that runs after the COM dll is registered? any other directions?</p> <p>This is the code for class that handles the registration:</p> <pre><code> CComModule _Module; BEGIN_OBJECT_MAP(ObjectMap) OBJECT_ENTRY(CLSID_C3DT2D, CC3DT2D) END_OBJECT_MAP() class CMy3DT2DApp : public CWinApp { public: // Overrides // ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CMy3DT2DApp) public: virtual BOOL InitInstance(); virtual int ExitInstance(); //}}AFX_VIRTUAL //{{AFX_MSG(CMy3DT2DApp) // NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove member functions here. // DO NOT EDIT what you see in these blocks of generated code ! //}}AFX_MSG DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() }; BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMy3DT2DApp, CWinApp) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMy3DT2DApp) // NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove mapping macros here. // DO NOT EDIT what you see in these blocks of generated code! //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() CMy3DT2DApp theApp; BOOL CMy3DT2DApp::InitInstance() { _Module.Init(ObjectMap, m_hInstance, &LIBID_MY3DT2DLib); return CWinApp::InitInstance(); } int CMy3DT2DApp::ExitInstance() { _Module.Term(); return CWinApp::ExitInstance(); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Used to determine whether the DLL can be unloaded by OLE STDAPI DllCanUnloadNow(void) { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); return (AfxDllCanUnloadNow()==S_OK && _Module.GetLockCount()==0) ?
