Re: [1/3] mscoree: Store the AppDomain from CorExeMain, for use in other functions.

Hi Vincent,

+        EnterCriticalSection(&mono_lib_cs);
+        if (!mono_handle)
+        {
+            ERR("CorExitProcess called on another thread?\n");
+            return -1;
you don't release mono_lib_cs here.

Similarly, in patch 3,
 STDAPI ClrCreateManagedInstance(LPCWSTR pTypeName, REFIID riid, void
**ppObject)
(snip)
+        EnterCriticalSection(&mono_lib_cs);
+        if (!mono_handle)
+        {
+            ERR("CorExitProcess called on another thread?\n");
+            return E_FAIL;

you don't release mono_lib_cs here, and the error message looks suspicious.

Doh, thanks.

Yeah, I'm not really sure how this is supposed to work. load_mono()
ensures that mono is loaded, so mono_handle should be set if it
succeeds. Unless someone calls CorExitProcess in another thread and
unloads it before we can grab the critical section again.

Maybe load_mono should return without releasing the critical section,
thus preventing that race? The caller will almost always want to
proceed to create an AppDomain afterwards..

Ah, I see, you really did mean that.  No, I don't think leaving the
critical section open is the best thing.  I expect someone calling
CorExitProcess should expect problems if they continue to call mscoree
functions after that.
