FIX: An access violation occurs when you run a Visual C++ 2010-based application for x64-based platforms if you use the "/O2" compiler option to build the project


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Visual C++ 2010 project. The source code of the project has a structure or class that exceeds 64 bytes.
  • You build the project for an x64-based platform, and you use the /O2 compiler option. 
  • You run the application.
  In this scenario, an access violation occurs, and the application crashes.

Cause

This issue occurs because the x64-based compiler of Visual Studio 2010 optimizes the code by adjusting the allocation alignment of data from 64 bytes to 16 bytes. Therefore, a memory issue occurs for the objects that exceed 64 bytes.
