I've been taking note of the .exe file size of many applications. I saw that Visual Studio 2005 has an .exe size of 453KB, and VS2008 of 1.04MB because they divide the application into many parts (.exe + many .dll files). I saw also that MS Outlook has a very large .exe file (11.8MB) while MS Word is very small (398KB)! After ponderi...
I'd like to write a very simple replacement for w3btrv7.dll so I can pass Btrieve API calls to another library (written in .NET and called via COM). Basically, I need to mimic the signature of the BTRCALL function in C. However, I'm not a C programmer... at all. I think I have a pretty good idea of how to write a DLL that exports functio...
To me (a beginner in C) it looks like a program can magically access external libraries just by declaring #include "something.h" at the top of a C source file. How is it done? I want to use the POSIX library (unistd.h). I've got the header file itself and a couple of dll's, but I can't link them together and get the compiler (GCC MinGW)...
How would I go about calling a dll from kernel mode? I have tried making a custom lib file using multiple techniques but I cannot get anything to work. I have also researched on google but cannot seem to find anything. I was also curious if it was possible to create entries in the import addres table from c++ or at link time? Thanks for...
I have a project with a large codebase (>200,000 lines of code) I maintain ("The core"). Currently, this core has a scripting engine that consists of hooks and a script manager class that calls all hooked functions (that registered via DLL) as they occur. To be quite honest I don't know how exactly it works, since the core is mostly und...
hi folks, i'm wondering why linkers can not do their job simply by consulting the information in the actual .dll files that got the actual implementation code ? i mean why linkers still need .lib files to do implicit linking ? are not the export and relative address tables enough for such linking ? is there anyway by which one can do i...
Is there a maximum number of times that a DLL can be registered and unregistered in a specific time period?

Hello! I have some project consisting of a couple of DLL's which have been compiled with MinGW with debug information, and another project with EXE target which uses these DLLs (compiled with MinGW too). The problem is, I need to put breakpoints on functions inside those DLLs, but GDB, although sets them, just silently ignores them at ...
Hi there, I have an annoying problem with the debug mode of Visual C++ 2005. My scientific program uses FFTW3 library which is a FFT transformation calculation library. Sadly, there is no official VC++ pre-compiled version of FFTW3 library. More sadly, compiling FFTW3 from source code with VC++ 2005 is very hard. The FFTW3 official webs...

I'am planning to write a sample program which identifies a file (a dll file) locked by / used by some process. How can we achieve this programmatically using WIN API (a C/C++ function)? Actually, when we are performing some software upgrade process some other process might be using the library which will interim fail the upgrade operati...
So I'm still struggling with the sucky fact that if you make a .net user control deploy as a .dll file to embed it in IE you have to have the user add the site as a trusted site AND modify their .Net security settings. If I don't do the above two things (add trusted site and modify .Net security settings) I get a http response 206 when ...
I've been working non-stop for the last three days on a completely managed interface to Erlang. At this point, I've decided that there simply must be an easier way. I've got a little over 3000 lines and it's not even in a compilable state yet. To be honest, I'm getting lost in my own code. So, I then remembered that Erlang has a C libra...
I have a simple C DLL that exposes functions from a static library. The DLL compiles without errors and I can run DUMPBIN on it to see the exports. However, when I attempt to load it with DllImport in C#, it says this: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'ei.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from H...
