I know how to solve it,

Thanks

I have the following problem:
I have a dll compiled with MinGW and a header file that describes the DLL exports. I want to use this DLL in a Visual C++ projects. Since i don't have a LIB file and i don't want to use LoadLibrary function i created a DEF file. The contents of the EXPORTS section of the DEF file i toke from DUMPBIN /EXPORTS [the_dll], so it should be ok.
After i created the lib file i included it in my Visual C++ project and the project has compiled successfully. But when i executed it, the application crashed. This application is working when compiled with GCC and the same DLL.
So is the problem somewhere in MinGW or what?
May be i must pass some special parameters to cl.exe or link.exe
Experts please help!

This has probably nothing to do with the fact that it's a dll. Start your debugger to see where the program crashes.

Ok i will explain in more details:
So in the header file i have a definition of an abstract class wich has onlu pure virtual methods.
In the DLL i have only one export function which is returning a pointer to an instance of this class or more precisely some class that inherits this abstract class.
The program is something like:
<br />
SomeClass* c = ImportedMethod();<br />
c->someMethod(); <br />
It looke strange i know, the problem is that i don't hava the source of the DLL neither i have any more information about it. Only those header:
<br />
class SomeClass <br />
{<br />
public:<br />
virtual void someMethod() = 0;<br />
}<br />
extern "C"<br />
__declspec (dllexport) SomeClass * ImportedMethod();<br />

What is the value of c ? Does it point to a valid memory address ?
Otherwise your method could simply return NULL and you didn't check it.

c isn't null. c contains a valid memory address and according to the Visual Studio debugger it contains the addresses of virtual functions.
The same source is working when compiled with GCC.
The difference may be is in the calling conventions or i don't know.
But there is no problem in the source.
The problem is in the dll that is used i think.

Hey guys
I was wondering why you use
typedef Handle ****Handle;
What does it exactly do?? 
I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean *** to be a pointer rather a dummyname
typedef Handle ObjectHandle
This is what I meant

It's a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a Handle 
are you certain that's the way it is written ? because typedefing with the name name should not work.
In what context is it used ?

It is used in RTI (Runtime Infrastructure)
|
|
|
|
|
Is this real code?
Quite a few indirections to itself!
Best,
Jun

Yeah it is actually used in RTI to call upon different federates
Im not sure if u are familiar with RTI.
What it does is, interacts with multiple simulations which the simulations interacting with each other. Its more like a third party.
|
|
|
|
|
A little bit, but I haven't done anything seriously yet. I don't like SOM/FOM stuff.
Are you developing a HLA federation now? It's quite a lot of effort from my understanding. Which vender's RTI are you using, VTC, MAK, PITCH, etc?
Best,
Jun

Some of us use it in very rare situations like this:
struct Handle
{
};
struct Handle2
{
typedef Handle ****Handle;
};
-- modified at 10:41 Thursday 29th June, 2006
It means that within Handle2, Handle will be a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer which points to a value of first structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Probably Handle name is used for some convenience, or maybe to hide the original meaning of Handle.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that's correct. However, I'm wondering:
- where need so many levels of indirection?
- wouldn't be better to change anyhow the defined type name to be clearer for anybody what's there?

I think we should ask the authors of RTI, where such weird constructions are used, according to Jay03 message.

It is a very poor way to declare a new type. The reason it is poor is because of the naming. The goal it is trying to accomplish is to declare a new type that is a pointer-to-a-pointer-to-a-pointer-to-a-pointer-to-a-Handle. A better way to write it would be either of the following:
Option 1:
typedef RedirectedHandle ****Handle;
Option 2:
namespace MyStuff
{
typedef Handle **** ::Handle;
}
An even better solution would be to not use that many levels of indirection (who needs 4 levels of indirection for a Handle?) and to use smart pointers.

Let me guess!
It's the last Code Inspection Report for your project. Right?

this is a class from codeproject, now its class name is CButtonST(version 3.5 is CMyButton).
I only want to know why did author write that otherwise then me?

hi! My name is JC im from Puerto Rico. Right now my C++ knowledge is a bit "limited"
and Im developing an application tthat will end up updating a txt file in an FTP. I found a class that got the perfecy functions i need made by otom and found here
( http://www.codeproject.com/internet/ftpclientclass.asp ). The functions I need are exactluy the same he puts as an example:
nsFTP::CFTPClient ftpClient;
nsFTP::CLogonInfo logonInfo("localhost", 21, "anonymous",
"anonymous@user.com");
// connect to server
ftpClient.Login(logonInfo);
// do file operations
ftpClient.DownloadFile("/pub/test.txt", "c:\\temp\\test.txt");
ftpClient.UploadFile("c:\\temp\\test.txt", "/upload/test.txt");
// disconnect
ftpClient.Logout();
dat is basically all i need BUT his work is very hard to understand for me and i just dont know WHAT to include and where to include.. Id appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks in advance
-JC
