have you looked at exported symbols in dll? it may be C++ from
what you said(lib not designed for C++?), so you can try
extern(C++) on D side instead extern(C). or add manually
#ifdef __cplusplus and extern "C" on lib side(if its not that
big of course).
First of all: I started with a C++-dll and tried to declare the
functions with extern (C++) --> did not work. Then I switched
the compiler to C. As VC++ still uses only C89 as standard you
can imagine there is NOTHING C++-ish that could have survived.
I also tested this DLL in a C++-application (static) and it
worked like a charm.
ALSO:
As i suspected that some things written by me could be
responsible for this, I build a test application with three
functions (Test, Test2,Test3), got myself the D-.lib for
statical-linking (implib-Dmd) and tried that one out. The
result: Error 42.
So, actually I am trying to get a DLL containing three
single-line test functions to work. What I have already
achieved is to load it dynamically, and it worked
(Derelict.Util.Loader.SharedLibLoader Class). As I also use the
Derelict-packages, I may intend to build a custom loader class
as a work-around.
it is not clear for me what are you trying to achieve and
where/what is error 42. do you want implicit loading? if so, have
you tried converting lib using coffimpblib tool from
ftp.digitalmars.com? keep in mind that you don't have to convert
libs when building in 64 bit mode.
