[gdal-dev] OGRDataSource::CreateLayer error on application exit

[Andy Canfield]

If I create a shapefile layer like so:
const char *pszShpDriverName = "ESRI Shapefile";
OGRSFDriver *poShpDriver;
poShpDriver =
OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetRegistrar()->GetDriverByName(pszShpDriverName);
poShpDS = poShpDriver->CreateDataSource(pszDstFilename, NULL);
poShpLayer = poShpDS->CreateLayer( "poly_out", NULL, wkbPolygon, NULL );


and close it like so:
OGRDataSource::DestroyDataSource(poShpDS);


I have no problems, but if I specify a projection for it from an open
GeoTiff I have
as the data set "poDataset" like so:

OGRSpatialReference *poSrcSRS = new
OGRSpatialReference(poDataset->GetProjectionRef());


const char *pszShpDriverName = "ESRI Shapefile";
OGRSFDriver *poShpDriver;
poShpDriver =
OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetRegistrar()->GetDriverByName(pszShpDriverName);
poShpDS = poShpDriver->CreateDataSource(pszDstFilename, NULL);
poShpLayer = poShpDS->CreateLayer( "poly_out", poSrcSRS, wkbPolygon, NULL );

I get this error when I go to shut my application down after using the
above code be it in a dll or in a console app.

The error I get is:
First-chance exception at 0x7c90e4ff in TestApp.exe: 0xC0000008: An invalid
handle was specified

that jumps my debugger to crt0dat.c to this method:

void __cdecl __crtExitProcess (
        int status
        )
{
        __crtCorExitProcess(status);

        /*
         * Either mscoree.dll isn't loaded,
         * or CorExitProcess isn't exported from mscoree.dll,
         * or CorExitProcess returned (should never happen).
         * Just call ExitProcess.
         */

        ExitProcess(status);
}


This only happens when I create the file using a projection and it doesn't
seem to matter if I build the projection myself or get it from the GeoTiff.
It seems to be the creation of the .prj file that is the problem.

I could always just create my own prj file in the same directory and spit
out the WKT to it but I would rather not if I don't have to.

Anyone know a fix for this?

Thank You,
Andy Canfield
