This question was raised some time ago but I never saw a satisfactory
answer.
Unmanaged static C++ objects that are built into an assembly never have
their destructors called.
This appears to be because _DllMainCRTStartup is never called with
DLL_PROCESS_DETACH for the assembly
(If the CRT heap checking is turned on, this may also manifest itself as a
bazillion heap leaks)
This appears to be a bit of a problem - could anyone shed some light on
this and comment as to whether it is a bug or a "feature"
Thanks

The following example illustrates the problem
#pragma unmanaged
class foo
{
public:
foo() {::MessageBox(0,"You see this",0,MB_OK);}
~foo() {::MessageBox(0,"You dont see this",0,MB_OK);}
};
static foo aFoo;
#pragma managed
public __gc class someManagedClass
{
public:
void someManagedMethod() {}
};
