This failure happens when compiling with the VS 2012 compiler. The attach code relies on the order of two methods in the compiled binary and VS 2012 changed that order. The solution used is the linker flag /ORDER [1] which allows us to specify the order in which methods are laid out in the binary image. Since the flag only operates on non-static methods, the methods have been made non-static and also changed name so that they will not clash with other methods.
