Possible security hole using SetDllDirectory?

I've got a DLL which makes a call to SetDllDirectory() in its DllMain() function. The argument to SetDllDirectory() is the directory in which the DLL resides, as returned by the GetModuleFileName() function. The effect of this is that if the DLL is placed as c:/foo/bar.dll, then loading bar.dll will add c:/foo to the DLL search path of t...

I've mostly gotten things working, but one particularly odd problem has me stumped. I installed Delphi and...

Interface from a C DLL to .NET

Hi, I have a legacy DLL written in C that I'd like to call from a C# .NET application. The problem is that the DLL interface for the C DLL is fairly complicated.

I as of yet, have not had a need to create a dll in .NET as my programs tend to be distinct from one another (and I haven't programmed for too long).

Any improvements on the GCC/Windows DLLs/C++ STL front?

Yesterday, I got bit by a rather annoying crash when using DLLs compiled with GCC under Cygwin.

This is a known bug with GCC 3.4 on Cygwin. The situation arises because ...
