[Mono-dev] problems executing mono embed on osx

[Thomas Grill]

Hi all,
i have the same problem, but i think i already know the reason of the 
crashes.

Have a look at the crash log below - GetCurrentProcess is called and 
crashes.
It is called from mono_thread_init, which calls it as 
GetCurrentProcess(), that is without arguments.
Obviously the mono/io-layer/processes.h/GetCurrentProcess function is 
meant here.
 From the crash log it's obvious that the Apple Process Manager function 
GetCurrentProcess(ProcessSerialNumber *PSN) is called instead. The PSN 
argument is not set by the caller, so the function must crash.

I'll experiment a bit with reordering of the included headers - that 
might be the easiest workaround.

By the way, mono_jit_init for me also crashes under Windows (compiled 
with VC++, not MinGW) - maybe a similar reason?

best greetings,
Thomas
