[6.10 b1] OpenLibrary() problem

[Otrebor]

Using Win10 Pro
PureBasic 6.10 b1 - x86

OpenLibrary() fail with wd1793.dll (32 bit dll).
Works with version 6.0x.

We didn't change anything about OpenLibrary(), could you put the file to download somewhere ?

[Otrebor]

Yes. I uploaded the file to Google Drive. Thanks!

This is not a PureBasic problem, that dll just crashes the program.

With PB 6.04 x86 I get Ok.

Code: Select all

If OpenLibrary(0, "wd1793.dll")
  Debug "Ok"
  CloseLibrary(0)
Else
  Debug "Failed"
EndIf

Not open with PB v6.10 B2 but with v6.04
Perhaps move back to bug report

It's a linker issue, when using polink.exe it works, while when using link.exe it doesn't work. Why the linker is impacting LoadLibrary_() is a mystery to me but my bet is the DLL is too old for new exe.

Code: Select all

Debug LoadLibrary_("wd1793.dll")

If OpenLibrary(0, "wd1793.dll")
  Debug "Ok"
  CloseLibrary(0)
Else
  Debug "Failed"
EndIf

Code: Select all

LoadLibrary_("D:\wd1793.dll")
Debug GetLastError_()
End 
; 998
; ERROR_NOACCESS 998 (0x3E6) Invalid access to memory location.

Both OpenLibrary() and LoadLibrary_() works fine with PB 6.04 x86 Windows 11 x64

HI
The dll that was using is 41kb. After a search i found another with 64kb (link bellow). I don't know which one is older. Most important, works with PB 6.1!

Well, this solve the problem.
Thank you!

Hi
Just to report that with beta 9 OpenLibrary() works again with wd1793.dll (both files).
The initial problem with beta 1 was solved.

[Fred]

True, because we switched back the linker to polink. I don't know exactly why.
