Hi,
I only recently discovered that on Windows, some stdcall libraries do
funny name mangling; symbols are not named as one would expect. So a
function 'Foo' is actually '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the DLL, where x is the
amount
of stack space, in bytes, its parameters take up. For Factor 0.89, I
will fix the FFI so that this is supported transparently, since it is
not hard to compute this number at all, but for now here's a workaround:
First, note that
LIBRARY: fmod
FUNCTION: float FSOUND_GetVersion ( ) ;
Is equivalent to:
: FSOUND_GetVersion
"float" "fmod" "FSOUND_GetVersion" { } alien-invoke ;
So you can try
: FSOUND_GetVersion
"float" "fmod" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" { } alien-invoke ;
However the @0 might be @4, I forget if the return value is taken
into account or not. You can use a tool to list the symbols in a DLL
to find out.
In the future there will be a new ABI parameter, "manged-stdcall",
just like "stdcall" except with this mangling going on behind the
scenes. You will be able to use FUNCTION: again.
Of course we still need unmangled stdcall support since system DLLs
like kernel32.dll are built this way. I have no idea why.
Windows is full of strange corner cases, this is just one example.
Have fun,
Slava

load-library is called for you; it is only useful to call it as a
debugging tool (see if it fails or not...)
