dotTrace fails while activating cpp/cli type from c# app

Question

dotTrace 2024.2.6 is failing on an enterprise application my company works on. It fails while activating cpp type. I created minimal example with similar structure. It fails if I leave ATL part in, if not dotTrace runs fine. I believe in the enterprise application the problem is not only with ATL. And it all worked fine until we have switched from net48 to net8.0.

• Program.csproj
  Program.cs

  using System.Reflection;
  var legacyDeploymentServerHostInstance = Assembly.LoadFrom("CppCli.dll").GetType("CppCli.CppCliType");
  var baseType = Activator.CreateInstance(legacyDeploymentServerHostInstance!) as Library.CppCli.BaseType;
  Console.WriteLine("Success");
  

• Library.CppCli.csproj
  BaseType.cs

  namespace Library.CppCli {
      public interface BaseType : IDisposable {
      }
  }
  

• CppCli.vcxproj
  CppCliType.h

  namespace CppCli
  {
      public ref class CppCliType : public Library::CppCli::BaseType
      {
      public:
           CppCliType();
           ~CppCliType();
      };
  }
  

  CppCliType.cpp

  #include "CppCliType.h"
  #include <atlstr.h>
  #include <iostream>
  
  namespace CppCli
  {
      CppCliType::CppCliType()
      {
          CString aCString = CString(_T("A string"));
          std::cout << (LPCTSTR)aCString;
      }
  
      CppCliType::~CppCliType()
      {
          System::Text::Json::JsonSerializer::Serialize(this);
      }
  }
  

The error I observe is

Fatal error. Internal CLR error. (0x80131506)

EDIT: I've noticed the same behavior with ANTS Performance Profiler.

Answer 1

I've asked on dotTrace forum here. Got an answer that this is a known issue and I need to track this ticket.
