[Mono-dev] Crash running C code built on OS X El Capitan in Xcode 7

[Jonathan Mitchell]

The following C test code calls the current Mono 4.2.1-91 framework.
It builds and runs fine within Xcode 6.4 on 10.10.

It fails if I build and run it on OS X 10.11 using Xcode 7.1 - EXC_BAD_ACCESS in mono_jit_runtime_invoke() when calling AssemblyName:GetName()
However the built binary runs fine outside of the Xcode environment.

This obviously makes life difficult.
It seems logical to infer that the Xcode IDE is the issue here and I have posted to the Xcode list.

However, maybe there is more to this than I can detect.
Perhaps the code below is somehow suspect.
Any comments would be appreciated.
