CRash in _AFX_CTL3D_THREAD::~_AFX_CTL3D_THREAD()

When exiting my program it crashes here (mainly in the debug build).
This is all MFC/CRT code so I don't have any control over it - unless there's some tidying up that's not done. I'm not sure about that as this is all supposed to be automatic. Using MFC6 as a static library in Win2000. Mainly legacy code too, so I'm struggling a bit.

Code: From APP3DS.CPP in MFC/SRC

_AFX_CTL3D_THREAD::~_AFX_CTL3D_THREAD()
{
_AFX_CTL3D_STATE* pCtl3dState = _afxCtl3dState.GetDataNA();
if (pCtl3dState != NULL && pCtl3dState->m_pfnUnAutoSubclass != NULL)
(*pCtl3dState->m_pfnUnAutoSubclass)(); // <--- crashes HERE
}

All the functions in pCtl3dState are set to 0xfeeefeee. The program did originally call Enable3DControlsStatic but as that's obsolete I've taken it out but it made no difference.

HEEEEELP!

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I wanted to document the solution for posterity... here's a workaround I added to a project where I was getting this crash due to freeing the the _afxCtl3dState object twice:

Code:

---

// Need MFC source installed in order for our workaround to work!
 #include <../src/afximpl.h>

---

Stick this code at the end of CWinApp::InitInstance() (for a modal dialog app) or at the end of CWinApp::ExitInstance() for a document/view app:

Code:

---

        // Work around stupid MFC bug causing crash due to _afxCtl3dState being freed prematurely or without pointer getting set to NULL...grrr...
        _AFX_CTL3D_STATE* pCtl3dState = _afxCtl3dState.GetDataNA();

        delete pCtl3dState;

        _afxCtl3dState.m_pObject = NULL;

---

The workaround explicitly frees the _AFX_CTL3DSTATE object, then sets the CProcessLocal object's m_pObject to NULL so it won't try to free it again.

Hope that helps somebody who's still using this old compiler (this worked on VC6 and may be required on later versions -- not sure if/when it's been fixed by MS).
