C# to CLI call fails somewhere...

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9hY2hpbQ==?=]

I have the below C# definitions and function call to an unsafe C++/CLI
function in an external dll. When debugging the calls step by step everything
seems to work, but if I just run everything through without stopping I get
the following error:

"
Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: .....myprogram. .
File: dbgheap.c
Line: 1279

Expression: _CrtIsValidHeap Pointer(pUserDa ta)

....
"

If I press ignore three times the whole application crashes. Here is the code:

[DllImport(g_wra pper_dll_path)]
unsafe static extern int GetEncoders(
void* dvpsdk,
ref int[] devices_ids);

IntPtr m_DVPSDK_ptr;
void* l_ptr = m_DVPSDK_ptr.To Pointer();
int l_result = GetEncoders(
l_ptr,
ref m_devs_ids);

The C++/CLI functions:

extern "C" int GetEncoders(
System::IntPtr dvpsdk,
array<int>^ devices_ids)
{
return AdvantechImpl:: GetEncoders(
(DVP1412DLL*) dvpsdk.ToPointe r(),
devices_ids);
}

const int GetEncoders(
DVP1412DLL* dvpsdk,
array<int>^ devices_ids)
{
int l_nr_of_devices =
dvpsdk->DVP1412_GetNoO fDevices();

if (l_nr_of_device s == 0)
{
return -3;
}

int* l_tmp = new int[devices_ids->Length];

int l_res = dvpsdk->DVP1412_InitSD K(
l_nr_of_devices ,
l_tmp);

if (l_res == SUCCEEDED)
{
for (int l_i = 0; l_i < devices_ids->Length; ++l_i)
{
devices_ids[l_i] = l_tmp[l_i];
}

l_res = dvpsdk->DVP1412_CloseS DK();
return l_nr_of_devices ;
}
else
{
return l_res;
}
}

I should add that m_devs_ids has the following definition:

[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.ByValA rray, SizeConst = g_max_devices)]
int[] m_devs_ids = new int[g_max_devices];

int* l_tmp = new int[devices_ids->Length];

int l_res = dvpsdk->DVP1412_InitSD K(
l_nr_of_devices ,
l_tmp);

When l_nr_of_devices devices_ids->Length, this function overflows the
buffer and corrupts the heap.

Also, where is l_tmp freed (you must call delete[])?
