visual studio .net ide: Hi,
Happy new year everybody.
Sorry for crossposting, but I don't know which is the best : vc.ide_general
or vsnet.ide ?
I am working on a project with VC++ 2003 and it compile & link well, but I
have a strange problem. I have a singleton class with the following static
function:

myclass & myclass::GetInstance()
{
static myclass m;
return m;
}

This class is compiled as a static lib and used by an other project "main"
in the same solution.
My problem is that the static keyword seems to be ignored by the compiler.
Each time I call GetInstance(), a new object is created (the constructor of
m is called). It used to work, and the only change I found which seems to be
responsible of that are the project dependencies. Before, I used to manually
add the static lib myclass.lib in the link tab of my project. Now I removed
this manual reference and checked the project myclass in the project
dependencies of my "main" project, and I have this problem.
I don't understand what is wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I found the problem, after 2 long days of research :-/
I moved one class (.h + .cpp) from a project of the solution to an other
one, but I forgot to remove the old one. So I had the same class twice, in 2
static libs. I don't know why the linker didn't complained of duplicated
symbols. Instead of that it seems it mixed the 2 classes, I don't know how,
but it managed to create stack/heap corruption and I don't understand too
why it corrupted my static object by making it being considered as an
automatic object. I guess the project dependencies influence is due to the
directory search order.
Hard pain for a stupid mistake.
