Re: EnterCriticalSection() is corrupting my heap

Hi,

Yes i use HeapCreate() and HeapAlloc().

I have a class object which is created on the heap and I have a member
variable in this class of type CRITICALSECTION (say m_cs). Inside one of
my class function when I call EnterCriticalSection(&m_cs) then this
problem occurs. Ok may be its not because of critical section because at
the place in code where EnterCriticalSection() was being called I create
and CAutoLock() object and pass my pointer to CRITICALSECTION object to
it (CAutoLock just call EnterCriticalSection in its constructor and
LeaveCriticalSection in its destructor). In the constructor when I try to
save pointer of critical section to the class member (CRITICALSECTION
*m_pCS) of CAutoLock then although it is pointer assignment but after
assignement the class member has some garbage data.

In my outside code:

{
   CAutoLock(&m_cs);

   // Some code
}

CAutoLock::CAutoLock(CRITICALSECTION *pCS)
{
   m_pCS = pCS; <= This assignement is not working correctly and after
assignment m_pCS points to some garbage memory location
   EnterCriticalSection(m_pCS);
}

So any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Arsalan
