Functions exported by ordinals

Here is a quick example :

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[])

{
HMODULE hModule;

// define the function pointer to call the function #2

int __stdcall (*Sum)(int,int);

hModule=LoadLibrary("DllDemo.dll");

// Get the address of the function identified by ordinal number 2

Sum=(void *)GetProcAddress(hModule,MAKEINTRESOURCE(2));

// Simple test

printf("90 + 10 = %d",Sum(90,10));

FreeLibrary(hModule);

return 0;
}


DllDemo.def :

LIBRARY DllDemo
EXPORTS
Difference @1 NONAME
Sum @2 NONAME
Multiply @3 NONAME
Square @4 NONAME

Thank you Erol for the instructive example. Will that work with other compilers, too?

Gunther

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

#2
Hi Gunther,

Second version built with Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Server 2003 R2 PSDK. The only difference is the declaration of the function pointer :

int (__stdcall *Sum)(int,int);

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

After changing the function declaration and renaming dllmain.c to dlldemo.c, and building with the VC++ Toolkit 2003 compiler and this batch file:

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin;%PATH%

set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include;%INCLUDE%

set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\lib;C:\masm32\lib;%LIB%

cl /W3 /FA /c dlldemo.c

pause

link /DLL /DEF:dlldemo.def dlldemo.obj

pause

cl /W3 /FA CallByOrdinal.c DllDemo.lib

pause


The assembly output shows that the exported functions are using cdecl:

Is there a way to link with the import library and call a function by ordinal, without GetProcAddress?
Well Microsoft, here's another nice mess you've gotten us into.

Nice example, Erol :t

Here is the assembler equivalent - requires version 7 June or later ;)

include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc
  Init
  Dll "DllDemo.dll"
  Declare #2=TheSum, 2
  Inkey Str$("90+10=%i", TheSum(90, 10))
  Exit
end start


(actually, when trying this, it choked; the VB style ordinal option has been included a long time ago, but I've never used it, and a regression crept in :(... but now it works)

Note you can use any alias name, like MySum etc; if you try TheSum(90, 10, 123) or The Sum(90), the macro will throw an assembly time error message explaining that TheSum expects exactly 2 parameters.

The DemoDll.dll in Erol's attachment uses stdcall. If it was cdecl, the syntax above would change to Declare #2=TheSum, C:2

Hi Jochen,

Thanks for your kind words. By the way, my fault was not specify the correct calling convention __stdcall. I corrected this:

#ifndef WINAPI
#define WINAPI  __stdcall
#endif
.
.
.
int WINAPI Sum(int a, int b)
{
    return a+b;
}


No need of GetProcAddress now :


extern int __stdcall Sum(int x,int y);

int main(int argc,char *argv[])

{
printf("90 + 10 = %d",Sum(90,10));

return 0;
}
