win32_main.c defines the executable win32_main.exe
|
|
it depends on load-time linking with win32_base.dll
|
|
it tries to perform run-time linking with win32_plugin.dll
|
|
|
|
win32_base.c defines the binary win32_base.dll
|
|
|
|
win32_plugin.c defines the binary win32_plugin.dll
|
|
it depends on load-time linking with win32_base.dll
|
|
|
|
The build script has to build win32_base.c first because it needs the
|
|
results of that build to setup the load-time linking in the other builds.
|
|
The win32_base.lib that is generated along with win32_base.dll is used
|
|
to resolve load-time imported symbols.
|
|
|
|
The program has a shared data structure 'int x' in the 'base' layer that is
|
|
read and modified from both the 'main' layer and 'plugin' layer.
|
|
|
|
The expected output if the plugin loads successfully is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
x = 0
|
|
provided by plugin: {
|
|
x = 1
|
|
x = 2
|
|
}
|
|
x = 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The expected output if the plugin is not found is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
x = 0
|
|
x = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should be able to relocate the plugin and use a full path to it and still
|
|
get the first result. As long as the load-time dependency win32_base.dll is
|
|
with the executable, it will load. It can be found in some other paths, but
|
|
you cannot specify the search paths manually, so keeping it with the executable
|
|
is the simplest option.
