Hi,

forgive me if I am being really stupid, but I have something
here that really kind of mystifies me.

I have tried out the DLL code of spottedtiger, found at
http://spottedtiger.tripod.com/D_Language/D_WinDLL.html .

Trouble is: When I unload the DLL, no matter if I use the
Windows API example or std.loader, the whole programme
terminates. It seems that this was not noticed before,
as unloading the library is the last thing done in the
example. Just try to add a writefln after FreeLibrary,
respectively ExeModule_Release.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

  0ffh

Posting it in learn :D
Personally I think all questions should be asked in learn and after some
discussion maybe reposted in whatever group is best.
Just wanted to say that once.
But maybe I read learn as help. Ah well... its out now :D

I suppose, you're right! Apologies all-round!
BTW Walter's loader for Windows works fine, so I'm content... :)

0ffh,

   Sorry to hear you had some issues, but I've copied and pasted the all example code from my site into files, and was able to compile / run everything just fine.

   Have you modified an example, and that's the version which doesn't work? Also, may I ask which version of D (dmd), on which Windows' version did you compile and run on?

-----------

Below, under WinVista Utl 32-bit with D (dmd) v1.010 using the example from the MKoD site...shows the command (cmd.exe) line compiles, along with running the programs:

C:\dmd\MKOD_ex>dmd WinDLL.d WinDLL.def
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe WinDLL,,,user32+kernel32,WinDLL.def/noi;

C:\dmd\MKOD_ex>dmd Main_WinAPI.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe Main_WinAPI,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

C:\dmd\MKOD_ex>main_winapi
sLibName="C:\dmd\MKOD_ex\WinDLL.dll", hLibWinDLL=10000000
Testing isroman( 'C' ) = 1
Testing isromanstr( "MMVC" ) = 1
Testing isromanstr( "ABCDEF" ) = 0

C:\dmd\MKOD_ex>dmd Main_Loader.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe Main_Loader,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

C:\dmd\MKOD_ex>main_loader
"C:\dmd\MKOD_ex\WinDLL.dll" is loaded, hLibWinDLL=10000000
Testing isromanstr("MMVC") = 1
Testing isromanstr( "ABCDEF" ) = 0

C:\dmd\MKOD_ex>

------------

   Everything appears to be compiling and running as  it should...maybe you could you show an example of your commandline.

Kind Regards, David L. 'SpottedTiger' Davis

(Feel free to ask me questions about this code using my email, or post questions into the learn section)
