Andrea, here are some problems and their solutions:
(1) Where do you get a "tolower" function that takes a char* and returns a
char*? The one in ctypes.h works a character at a time (thus takes an int and
returns an int).
(2) Why is the entire sqlite3 engine included in an dll which is loaded as an
extension to sqlite3?
Please follow along and I will show you where we can find and fix these issues
... this might be helpful to other extension writers as well.
First, the -std=c99 needs to be -std=gnu99 to permit the gnu extension
functions to be recognized.
Without the GNU extensions a bunch of non-ansi names are not recognized because
c99 implies -ansi. Once this change is made 99% of the errors go away.
src\wrapper_functions.c: In function 'stringmetricsFunc':
src\wrapper_functions.c:350:16: warning: 'return' with a value, in function
returning void [enabled by default]
return (1);
^
This is easy. SQLite scalar functions are supposed to return an int status
code. That code is either SQLITE_ERR if there was an error, or SQLITE_OK if
everything is OK. So change the function definition to return an int, and the
two return statements to return SQLITE_ERR (not 1) and SQLITE_OK (not nothing).

__MINGW_ATTRIB_PURE;
The "tolower" function works on an int (single character) and returns an int
(single character). It does not work on whole strings. The function for doing
a case insensitive string compare is "stricmp":
This can be fixed by making the following changes in wrapper_functions.c:
if(kindofoutput!=NULL) {
if(stricmp(kindofoutput,"similarity")==0) {
sqlite3_result_double(context, similarity);
} else if(stricmp(kindofoutput,"metric")==0) {
sqlite3_result_text(context, metrics, strlen(metrics)+1, NULL);
} else {
mex = malloc(strlen(sm_name) + 200 + strlen(metrics)+1);
sprintf(mex,"%s between \"%s\" & \"%s\" is \"%s\" and yields a
%3.0f%% similarity",sm_name,par1,par2,metrics,similarity*100);
sqlite3_result_text(context, mex, strlen(mex)+1, NULL);
}
} else {
mex = malloc(strlen(sm_name) + 200 + strlen(metrics)+1);
sprintf(mex,"%s between \"%s\" & \"%s\" is \"%s\" and yields a
%3.0f%% similarity",sm_name,par1,par2,metrics,similarity*100);
sqlite3_result_text(context, mex, strlen(mex)+1, NULL);
(basically a global search and replace for "strcmp(tolower(kindofoutput)," and
replacing it with "stricmp(kindofoutput,")
Now we have left only the problem that the entirety of SQLite3 itself is
compiled into the extension.
Since we are not compiling the extension into the core, you simply need to use
the correct header. "wrapper_functions.c" should be using sqlite3ext.h, not
sqlite3.h. You then need to add a macro to get a reference to the sqlite3_api
thus:
#include <sqlite3ext.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include "simmetrics.h"
SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT3
const int SIMMETC = 27;
SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT1 creates the "sqlite3_api" pointer.
SQLITE3_EXTENSION_INIT2 initializes its value. If you need to access the
"sqlite3_api" in a source file which is "linked with" something which has a
declaration and initialization of sqlite3_api, then you just put in the
SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT3 macro at the top of those modules. (The definitions are
at the end of sqlite3ext.h)
You then change the compile command thusly:
gcc -s -O3 -std=gnu99 -mdll -mthreads -Bl,--static -static-libgcc
-I src
-I src\libsimmetrics\include
-I ..\sqlite\dist
src\*.c
src\libsimmetrics\simmetrics\*.c
-o stringmetrics.dll
where "..\sqlite\dist" is the location of the sqlite3 header files (I point
them to my own SQLite3 build directories, you can carry an extra copy in the
src/sqlite3 directory and refer to those if you prefer). This produces a 73K
extension module with no external dependancies (other than to the MSVCRT.DLL
subsystem runtime library) and produces no diagnostic output.
I added the -mthreads because I presume this may be used in a multithread
environment. It added no linkage to the thread library code, so I assume the
base functions used were already thread-safe (or could not be made so). I
haven't looked into which is the case.
After these changes we get the following (on Win81 x64, with the current MingW
32-bit compiler) (slightly reformatted to fit your screen):
2014-09-28 14:05:30 [D:\Source\libstringmetrics-master]
>gcc -s -O3 -std=gnu99 -mdll -mthreads -Bl,--static -static-libgcc
-I src
-I src\libsimmetrics\include
-I ..\sqlite\dist
src\*.c
src\libsimmetrics\simmetrics\*.c
-o stringmetrics.dll
and comparing this extension to the original included in the distribution (I
stripped it, so it is smaller than the one in the distribution because the
internal symbol table is gone)
