SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Platform Builder to build Windows CE projects for the ARM processor, you may experience one or more of the following problems:
- The ARM compiler-generated adjustor thunk for classes that are larger than 1024 bytes may corrupt function parameters that are passed in the R3 register at run time.
- The ARM compiler may generate code that causes a Datatype Misalignment exception at run time. This behavior occurs when you access memory by using a BYTE pointer and the BYTE pointer value is an odd number.
