Possibly you have to install the (latest) DirectX SDK [^].

I have already installed DirectX 9.0 on my system.

DirectX runtime and DirectX SDK (Software Development Kit) are two quite different things.
Are you sure you have the SDK installed?

If you've built it then you now have it. Change your IDE settings to make it aware of the library presence.

Why don't you put the file there (or is it already there)?

yes... i got a solution... there is one solution in C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses\BaseClasses.sln and build that solution. It generates that library file...

Thanks for the suggestion.

That's because DirectShow is no longer part of the DirectX SDK.

You need the Platform SDK for Server 2003 R2 or better.
Then you need to build the DirectShow base class libraries found
in the missing folder.
Then you need to change your project settings to use the new folder
in the PSDK and use your newly built base-classes libraries.

It's all in the documentation!

Why not? Since you know the absolute path that the linker is looking for the file in, can't you just browse to that location in Windows Explorer?

Hello everyone,

I an setting break point on some some system API, for example, CoInitializeEx. Here is the call stack I got from WinDbg.

My question is, how to get the related assembly language before we call CoInitialize (e.g. preparing input parameter), I want to see how the parameters are prepared either in register or pushed on stack for function call CoInitializeEx.

Child-SP          RetAddr           Call Site

First you need to bring up the call stack window in the debugger, then double click on the calling function. If this doesn't immediately show you the disassembly then you probably need to open the disassembly view window manually. Having said that this looks like .NET code so I've no idea whether what you get will be IL, assembly or just a mess. It all depends on the vagueries of the JIT Compiler I suppose.

Hi Matthew,

I agree with you that using pure native program is better. I just randomly choose a program and practise debugging. Smile | :)

Here is related stack dump and source codes, you can see it is wrong in debugger for input parameter values. Any ideas? Can you reproduce (I am using Windows Server 2003 x64 + VS 2008)?

0:000> kp

#include <windows.h>
#include <objbase.h>

int main()
{
	CoInitializeEx(NULL, 0);

	CoUninitialize();

	return 0;
}

regards,
George

What you've posted is the Call Stack, which is useful, as you've now got the address of the stack so you could look at it in the memory window. What you're looking for though is the disassembly window which will show you the assembly level code around the call from main to CoInitializeEx. Remember that which parameters are passed in which registers, if any and which are pushed and popped on the stack is not only Compiler depenedent but also dependent on the optimisation level you've set, the calling convention of the function, whether it's an externally callable function and even whether you're running in Debug or Release mode so you really can't rely on this sort of level of detail. In this case because CoInitialzeEx is a precompiled DLL function the way its called will at least be consistent all the time, will very likely follow the 'C' calling convention (lookup __cdecl in MSDN) and all parameters will probably be passed on the Stack. As for the assembly code itself I'm terrible at Intel assembler and really couldn't help you with trying to disentangle it.
