I have a C++ program that is giving this error as soon as the process starts – apparently before any user code executes. It only happens when inlining is enabled. Even with debug symbols built in, I can’t step in the code. As soon as I press F10 in Visual Studio I get the error and the program stops. I checked all exceptions/checks in “Debug/Exceptions” but still don’t get a break.

Normally I would expect something like this to be due to a missing runtime dependency but I’m quite positive that’s not the case here (verified with Dependency Walker).

edit: I used Steve Townsend’s recommendation of CDB and now I’m able to step through the pre-user-code parts of the program. The final stack trace is:

    You could try setting up Process Dumper and configure it for your EXE to create a dump on any process exit. Then start the process from the command line to rule out any artifacts of the IDE.

    This ought to give you a dump for post-mortem debugging, and maybe a callstack fromm the exiting thread that could be useful.
