I had a similar problem and solved it by setting the lib project as a dependency of the main app project and then setting ‘Link Library Dependencies’ and ‘Use Library Dependency Inputs’ to Yes for the main project. Update: Recently I discovered that Visual Studio 2015 now supports a /WHOLEARCHIVE linker flag. I can’t find … Read more
As I understand it, it CAN be done and is MEANT to be done sometimes (for example in case of dll injection by CreateRemoteThread and other methods). So, FreeLibraryAndExitThread(hModule, 0) will do precisely that. On the other hand, calling FreeLibrary(hModule) will not do here – from MSDN: “If they were to call FreeLibrary and ExitThread … Read more
After all the debate that went on in the comments, I think that it’s better to summarize my positions in a “real” answer. First of all, it’s still not clear why you need to load a dll in DllMain with LoadLibrary. This is definitely a bad idea, since your DllMain is running inside another call … Read more
The issue has little to do with STL, and everything to do with passing objects across application boundaries. 1) The DLL and the EXE must be compiled with the same project settings. You must do this so that the struct alignment and packing are the same, the members and member functions do not have different … Read more
For custom assemblies to be referenced and executed in Script Task, you have to add them to GAC. Here is an article with workflow. Alternative approach – provide your own AssemblyResolver in Script task code.
In order to achieve that you will need static linking. This requires that all your libraries (and the libraries they depend upon recursively) need to be available as static libraries. Be aware that the size of your executable will be large, as it will carry all the code from those static libraries. This is why … Read more
You need to include the Java class name and path in your native code, for example if your native method was declared in Java as: public class NativeCode { public static native boolean CreateSession(); } and the class path was (for example) com.example.NativeCode you would declare your method in native as follows: extern “C” JNIEXPORT … Read more
As long as your DLLs are .NET assemblies, then ILMerge should be able to combine your exe and all of its dependencies into a single file.
To compare two .dll files you can use ildasm or any other tool for geting IL code. I have created a sample with embedded ildasm in the dll file so that you can use it on every machine. When we disassemble an assembly we check if the ildasm.exe file exists in the executing assembly folder … Read more
Error 126 is what you get when a dependent DLL can not be found. There are two obvious causes for this: Your DLL is not being located. Your DLL depends on other DLLs that cannot be found. I doubt that option 1 is the problem but in any case I think I would probably be … Read more
