( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Thanks for so detailed an answer ! A few followup questions:
  1. How do you dump a DLL in such way ? I want to examine mine and see if there's name mangling.
  2. My DLL has no DEF file with it (it has a LIB file for linking from C++) and its .h file just places WINAPI as I demonstrated, so I guess I can't know which compiler options were enabled. Though I'm pretty sure it was compiled with a MS compiler.
  3. So is there a chance to successfully call functions from the DLL if it was compiled with _cdecl ?
  4. I get a segfault when I declare the arguments / return value as SHORT, but don't get it when I declare them INT. How can this be affected by what you described ?
  5. Finally: will all the same problems surface using an XS wrapper for the DLL ?
Thanks in advance.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
