working release test failed in debug mode

["Diego Ruiz" <ruiz at tele dot ucl dot ac dot be>]

Hello,

I manage to test a very small example in release mode. However the same
example crashes in debug mode.

Thanks for any help or idea
Diego

Ps: I am new to windows. I need to port my application from ubuntu to
visual studio.


Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
New project -> WIN32 -> WIN32 Console application (name Hello)

?	Added #include <pthread.h> to stdafx.h
?	Changed Hello.cpp:
#include "stdafx.h"

 pthread_mutex_t mutex_bigbag   = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

/*! This program test compilation with the pthread library on windows */
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

    printf("hello\n");
    getchar();
    getchar();

    pthread_mutex_lock( &mutex_bigbag );

    pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex_bigbag);

    return 0;
}

?	QueueUserAPCEx:
- Copy the driver and reboot as explained in the README file of directory
- Copying the dll  (QuserEx.dll, QuserEx.lib) in working directory of
solution (release, debug)
- Copying the lib in an usefull_libs directory
- using "net start alertdrv" in command prompt (cmd) in administrator mode

?	pthreads.2:
- programs-> Visual studio -> visual studio tools -> VS command prompt
- cd directory of pthreads.2
- nmake clean VCE-inlined
- copy the created dll in working directory of solution (release, debug)
- copy of the library in usefull_libs directory

?	Test 1 in realease mode
- Added path to inlcludes (pthread.h)
- Added path to library in linker (usefull_libs)
- Added library dependency in linker (pthreadVCE2.lib quserex.lib)
- Compilation OK (0 errors, 0 warnings)
- Test OK (prints hello and wait for char in terminal)

?	Test in debug mode

- Added path to inlcludes (pthread.h)
- Added path to library in linker (usefull_libs)
- Added library dependency in linker (pthreadVCE2.lib quserex.lib)
- Compilation OK (0 errors, 0 warnings)
- Test KO:

 *** A stack buffer overrun occurred in "c:\users\ruiz\documents\visual
studio 2005\projects\tests\hello\debug\Hello.exe" :

This is usually the result of a memory copy to a local buffer or structure
where the size is not properly calculated/checked.
If this bug ends up in the shipping product, it could be a severe security
hole.
The stack trace should show the guilty function (the function directly
above __report_gsfailure).
