Summary0014868: Visual Studio 2005/2008 crashes when debugging WinCE 6 CMake projects
DescriptionWhenever I try to debug a Windows CE app with Visual Studio project files generated by CMake, Visual Studio crashes.
VS2005 and 2008 both crash in the same way: right after the EXE is deployed, with an access violation in devenv.exe (somewhere inside malloc())

I've only tested this with WinCE 6 and deploying/debugging on the emulator (using a generic BSP I built). If I create a new project from inside Visual Studio, debugging works fine.

It crashes after the EXE is deployed to the emulator, but if I make sure the msvcr DLL is copied to the same directory, the binary does work correctly (when launched from inside CE).

I have had this problem with both cmake 2.8.12.2 and cmake 3.0-rc3
Steps To ReproduceStart with an extremely simple CMake project (like the one I attached).

> cd ce_cmake_test
> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008 BKSEmulator_Rls (ARMV4I)" ..
Inside build, open ce_cmake_test.sln
Choose Debug->Start Debugging
After the deploy to the emulator succeeds, Visual Studio crashes ("Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close")

I figured out the cause and something of a workaround--if I set the solution's "Single startup project" to be the actual project (like "ce_cmake_test") rather than ALL_BUILD, debugging works without crashing Visual Studio!
