Describe the bug
Okay, sorry if this is the wrong place to write this, but I just tore my hair out for hours because it didn't work and I don't want anyone else to do the same thing. I am new to this library, but it worked quite well even without much knowledge.
Detouring worked fine for me for normal functions, but I also wanted to detour class member functions. I spent hours of trying around. I then found the 'member' example in this repository, happy that there is a resource, and spending another handful of hours because it didn't work either. Not even copying the code 1:1 in my project worked. I was so frustrated, I already wanted to create an issue that the example doesn't work. Then I saw that the examples include tests, so I called nmake test, and that DID work!
Even more frustrated I spent more time digging into the makefiles, and at some point I finally found out it was the optimizations. In my Visual Studio projects the Optimizations were by default /O2, which for some reason makes normal function detouring work, but class member function detouring not. Disabling the Optimizations to /Od now makes my project work, including the example code.
Don't get me wrong, I like this library and I am truly amazed how clean and polished everything seems, despite the fact it is operating on replacing assembly code. Thank you for this amazing open-source library.
I just wish this fact about optimizations was written in the Readme and on pretty much every Wiki page as a colored disclaimer on the bottom. Correct me if I didn't even look at the actual documentation but everything I could find was the repos readme and the Wiki in this Github Repo. Microsoft pages were not really helpful, this is all of the proper documentation I could find.
