Perflib 2 crashes when adding a counter (from Perfmon)

问题

I have a C++ application (under Win32) for which I need to provide performance counter information. I'm using Perflib v2, so have created a manifest which is processed by CTRPP.

My provider then calls PerfAutoInitialize and PerfCreateInstance with no errors.

When I go to add the counter in Perfmon, my application crashes. Tracing through the disassembly shows the code in the perflib worker thread calling the internal function (pcwum.dll) PerfpAddOrRemoveCounter. This calls on to PerfpValidateCounter which returns an address in edi; this address is invalid and when caller dereferences it, the application crashes.

If I restart my provider, the counter is still visible in Perfmon and increments correctly.

Manifest follows

<instrumentationManifest xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events eventman.xsd"

            defaultScale = "1">            
          </counter>
        </counterSet>
      </provider>
   </counters>

My bad. This was a 64/32 bit issue and I realised that I was building a 32 bit provider to run on a 64 bit OS. All works fine when this was straightened out.
