[gdal-dev] OCI driver and Heap Corruption under Visual C++

[Tamas Szekeres]

Mateusz,

I gave up monkeying with MDd after spending a couple of days to
eliminate these strange effects caused crashes in the windows builders
at the buildbot. My suspicion is that in this case we inevitably use
dll dependencies with different CRT setting may lead to unpredicted
problems (OCI lib might have been compiled with /MD I think). I guess
if you could compile all of the related dll with /MDd setting you
would probably gain a more stable debug package then, however I
consider we less likely need to debug into the CRT libraries itself,
so this is what you shouln't worry about. Sleep well :-)

Best regards,

Tamas
