[IronPython] Hosting: Delegates from Ironpython to C#

Ok, I was able to get debugging going better with MDA support. I have
attached screen shot that shows the System.AccessViolationException
and the values of pdw when the exception is raised. I have also
attached the C function that I am trying to access via P/Invoke in the
event that it may help somehow.
********C code*********
#pragma unmanaged
__declspec(dllexport) void __cdecl RegPyCmd(const ACHAR * cmdGroup,
const ACHAR * cmdName,
int cmdFlags,
void(*functionptr)())
{
// Note: cast functionptr as AcRxFuctionPtr.
Acad::ErrorStatus es =
acedRegCmds->addCommand(cmdGroup, cmdName, cmdName,
(int)cmdFlags,(AcRxFunctionPtr)functionptr);
if(es != eOk)
{
acutPrintf(L"Error loading command %s: error status %d",
cmdName, acadErrorStatusText(es));
}
}
********C code*********

In theory this should be happening for you automatically - but if the unmanaged side is going to hold onto this delegate for longer than the duration of the call you'll need to do this anyway. Given that you're still in the call this shouldn't be an issue but you could set the environment variable COMPlus_MDA=1 to enable CLR Managed Debugging Assistants to see if you get any warnings about that firing. I don't really believe this could be happening but it would be consistent w/ the exception you're getting.
