[cfe-dev] STL run time link problem ( MSVC ABI )

[Don Hinton via cfe-dev]

Haven’t used msvc in a while, but if I remember correctly, each dll has
it’s own heap, so you can’t allocate in one and delete in another — unless
you buy the professional version.

Not sure if this applies, but hope it helps...
