I'm leaning some win32 programming, and the WinMain prototype looks like: int WINAPI WinMain ( HINSTANCE instance, HINSTANCE prev_instance, PSTR cmd_line, int cmd_show ) I was confused as to what this WINAPI identifier was for and found: #define WINAPI __stdcall What does this do? I'm confused by this having something at all ...
My mind was wandering today on the topic of function pointers, and I came up with the following scenario in my head: __stdcall int function (int) { return 0; } int main() { (*(int(*)(char*,char*))function)("thought", "experiment"); return 0; } AFAIK this code would corrupt the stack, so what types of issues could I be loo...
I'm writing some plugin code in a dll that is called by a host over which I have no control. The host assumes that the plugins are exported as __stdcall functions. The host is told the name of the function and the details of the arguments that it expects and dynamically crufts up a call to it via LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress and manually...
I have a program that I need to create a DLL for, hopefully in C#. The program is written in Delphi and I have an interface file to code to. The interface uses the stdcall calling convention. Is it possible to create a C# DLL that conforms to the interface and can be used in the Delphi application? Is there some sample code that demo...
Hello, I am trying to use this code to define the APIs that are needed to communicate with a card reader. Below is the header file (complete). [AtUsbHid.h] It is throwing several errors, but I figure if the syntax issue is solved, the rest will fall into place. Please help me out. I made sure that __export was replaced with __declsp...
I have a dll that exports extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall Foo( void ); A dump of the dll shows ****************************************************************************** Section: Exports File Offset: 00001400 (5120) Flags: 00000000 Time Stamp: 00000000 Major Version: ...
I know that __stdcall functions can't have ellipses, but I want to be sure there are no platforms that support the stdarg.h functions for calling conventions other than __cdecl or __stdcall. ...
I have a project compiled using __cdecl calling convention (msvc2010) and I compiled boost using the same compiler using the default settings. The project linked with boost but I at runtime I got an assert message like this: File: ...\boost\boost\program_options\detail\parsers.hpp Line: 79 Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP w...
hello, I'm trying to port a Windows app to Linux. This appplication marks some functions with the __stdcall attribute. However, i was told by a friend that stdcall is used only on windows and has no meaning in linux (but DOES exist in Windows GCC). I tried to search Google about that, and got some results state that there IS stdacll in L...
Hi, I have a library (C++) which has some API functions. One of them is declared as __cdecl, but gets a function poiner from __stdcall. Something like: typedef int (__stdcall *Func)(unsigned char* buffer); //... int ApiFunc(Func funcPtr); //This is __cdecl since it is an 'extern "C"' library and the calling convention is not specified...
I have a function with the prototype DWORD WINAPI blah(LPVOID arg); Which was meant to be used with CreateThread for a threaded app. I call it with CreateThread with no problem. But then somewhere else in the code, I call it normally, just by blah(NULL). When it gets to this part, it crashes. Is this because the WINAPI part makes it ...
Is there a good reason? Are their internal functions (not exported) also stdcall convention? ...
As far as I know, only the caller-clean-stack convention can use variable arguments. By the way, the WinApi StringCchPrintfW is declared like this.(I removed the SAL) _inline HRESULT _stdcall StringCchPrintfW( STRSAFE_LPWSTR pszDest, size_t cchDest, STRSAFE_LPCWSTR pszFormat, ... ); Can stdcall have a variable arguments eithe...
