BUG: Mscorwks.dll does not initialize (327434)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Use the following code to create a file named 1.cpp:

   //1.cpp (unmanaged)
   __declspec(dllimport) int Func2();
   
   int g_1 = 0;
   
   __declspec(dllexport) int Func1()
   {
   return (g_1 + Func2());
   }
   					

2. Use the following code to create a file named 2.cpp:

   // 2.cpp (managed)
   int g_2 = 0;
   
   __declspec(dllexport) int Func2()
   {
   return (g_2 + 2);
   }
   					

3. Use the following code to create a file named Main.cpp:

   //main.cpp
   __declspec(dllimport) int Func1();
   __declspec(dllimport) int Func2();
   
   int main()
   {
   return ( Func1() + Func2() );
   }
   					

4. Compile 2.cpp to a managed DLL:

   cl /clr /LD 2.cpp
   					

5. Compile 1.cpp to an unmanaged DLL with the /MD command as follows (this links with the multi-threaded DLL version of the C runtime):

   cl /MD /LD 1.cpp /link 2.lib
   					

6. Compile Main.cpp to an unmanaged executable (.exe) file:

   cl main.cpp /link 1.lib 2.lib
   					

7. Run Main.exe. When Main.exe is run, the operating system loads 1.dll. 1.dll has a dependency on 2.dll, so 2.dll is loaded. 2.dll starts the Microsoft .NET runtime, which causes malloc to be called. The call to malloc is not successful because the C runtime has not been initialized yet. The C runtime has not been initialized because 1.dll has a reference to it (which prevents 2.dll from initializing it.)
