Access Violation

[Airslash]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error message when I try to run my Nunit test cases :

EAccessViolatio n : Access violation at adress 0000000000

I think I narrowed it down to my static method for initializing a critical section.
This is the function :

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Initialize the critical section for our DriveManager class as well. This
// allows us to properly create a Singleton instance in a thread-safe
// environment.
// Needs to be called on application startup !
void BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::Initialize()
{
	// Initialize the critical section.
	::InitializeCriticalSection(&cs_drivemanager);

	// Set our flag to true.
	BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::initialized = true;
}

I'm pretty sure this is causing the violation as that was the only call in the unit test, everything else was in comment.

in the CPP file I also have the following declared:

// STATIC VARIABLES ---------------------------------------------------------
BigBrother::IO::DriveManager* BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::instance = NULL;
volatile bool BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::initialized = false;
CRITICAL_SECTION BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::cs_drivemanager;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

they're static private members of my class.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

ok,

after further research it's not the Initialize() function, but the Initialized() function.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This function returns the private flag of the DriveManager manager
// and can be used to check if the DriveManager class has been properly
// initialized.
volatile bool BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::IsInitialized()
{
	return BigBrother::IO::DriveManager::initialized;
}

I cannot return a static variable ?

never mind......


seems nUnit needed __fastcall before every function.
Added that to my unit cals and it worked....
