Hi Diego,
>> any help or idea
Not sure if any of this will help, but...
(a) It is 'normal' that sometimes 'Release'
will appear to run, while 'Debug' crashes.
There are MORE runtime checks done in 'Debug',
mode, that will sometime pass in 'Release' mode,
but that does NOT mean the problem is not
present in BOTH!
(b) This may NOT be a pthread DLL problem at
all! It may be in QuserEx.dll!! or APSHook.dll...
or others loaded...
(c) The error you showed, R6034, is an attempt
to load a DLL without using a manifest. Check out
this error number in the MSVC8 HELP.
For example, certainly, the steps you showed
to build the pthread DLL/LIB, did NOT appear
to include running the 'mt' manifest tool -
- nmake clean VCE-inlined
You need to check that the 'Makefile'
DOES include embedding the manifest
inside the DLL.. that is runs the 'mt'
tool with a resource ID 2. Again see the
HELP information for details...
Some 'older' Makefiles MISSED this step,
only required after circa 2003!
This manifest embedding would have been
automatically done by MSVC8 (2005) when you
build the 'Hello' application, using the
MSVC8 IDE, but manifest MUST also be
embedded in ALL the DLL's loaded
as well...
This would include the QuserEx.dll, and
the APSHook.dll, the last being loaded before
the runtime error...
(d) I built your 'hello' applications, and
had no such problem, but I DID NOT include
'quserex.lib' in the link... maybe try
excluding this, to narrow down the problem...
There is nothing shown in your 'test'
application, as shown, that requires this DLL!
(e) Some other difference noted when I ran my
debug 'Hello.exe' in MSVC8 to what you
showed in your email -
(i) Mine only loaded -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ws2_32.dll
but I note your output _ALSO_ included
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsock32.dll
You should only have ONE or the OTHER of
these loaded... ws2 is just version 2
of the windows sockets DLL, and with it,
the older version 1 should not need to be
loaded...
(ii) Yours loaded BOTH -
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\ruiz\Documents\Visual Studio
2005\Projects\Tests\Hello\debug\msvcr80.dll'
+AND+
'C:\WINDOWS\winsxs
\x86_microsoft.vc80.debugcrt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_none_24c8a196583ff03b\msvcr80d.dll'
while mine ONLY loaded the WinSXS version msvcr80d.dll,
as it should be!
You should perhaps delete the Tests\Hello\debug\msvcr80.dll!
This MS runtime DLL, or other MS DLLS should NOT
be copied to your 'work' folders...
If you feel for some reason you have to, to
get it running, then this again suggests
some problem with the 'mt' tool, or some
other problem???
(iii) Yours loaded a whole bunch of other DLL
that are NOT present in my load, like -
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\rpcrt4.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\nsi.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\gdi32.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\imm32.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\msctf.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\lpk.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\usp10.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\APSHook.dll', Binary was not
and not sure why??? You must include other things
not shown in your email, to cause these loads...
Simply, the pthreads DLL should work fine,
and the MS DLL products should be ok, but can not
speak for the other '3rd party' DLLS... which is
where I think the problem lies...
Anyway, hope this helps...
Regards,
Geoff.
