c++ calling a dll

[kartheepanmirra]

Hi i have a requirement where a cpp file should load a dll viz gzip.dll.then the cpp should call few methods in the dll.well im able to call the methods with no parameters but im unable to call the methods with parameters.if im trying to call methods with parameters i am getting memory exception in runtime.the program compiles very fine.i actually replicated the code in vb where a similair call has been made to the methods in gzip.dll for compression and decompression.but in cpp it doesnt work for calling these methods with the exact parameters.may be my code has a flaw.

Please c the file.u can find the gzip.dll from C:\WINNT\system32\gzip.dll

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{

	HINSTANCE hGetProcIDDLL = LoadLibrary("C:\\WINNT\\system32\\gzip.dll");
	printf("dll loaded");
   /* get pointer to the function in the dll*/
   FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID = GetProcAddress(HMODULE (hGetProcIDDLL),"Decompress"); 
   FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID1 = GetProcAddress(HMODULE (hGetProcIDDLL),"InitDecompression"); 
   FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID2 = GetProcAddress(HMODULE (hGetProcIDDLL),"CreateDecompression");
   FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID3 = GetProcAddress(HMODULE (hGetProcIDDLL),"InitCompression");
   FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID4 = GetProcAddress(HMODULE (hGetProcIDDLL),"CopyMemory");
    
   
   // Call CopyMemory(arrDestination(destbeginPos), arrSource(srcbeginPos), length)


//	printf("Hello World long decompress!\n");
	//printf(1);

	 typedef long (__stdcall * pICFUNC)(long, BYTE[],long,BYTE[],long,long,long);
	 typedef long (__stdcall * pICFUNC1)();
	 typedef long (__stdcall * pICFUNC2)(long,int);
	 typedef long (__stdcall * pICFUNC3)();
	 typedef long (__stdcall * pICFUNC4)(BYTE[],BYTE[],long);

	  typedef UINT (CALLBACK* CopyMemory)(BYTE[],BYTE[],long);
	  CopyMemory ptrCopyMemory;
	  ptrCopyMemory = (CopyMemory)GetProcAddress(hGetProcIDDLL,"CopyMemory");
	   typedef UINT (CALLBACK* InitDecompression)();
	  InitDecompression ptrInitDecompression;
	  ptrInitDecompression = (InitDecompression)GetProcAddress(hGetProcIDDLL,"InitDecompression");
	   //ReturnVal = ptrLockWorkStation();
	  ptrInitDecompression();
	  printf("Hello World long decompress!\n");

//	int li= strlen( (char*)AB);
	int orglen=100;

		CopyMemory(AB,oB,234);

This is the vb code to access the different dll functions on it.Ill mark the dll function calls in red.

If mvDataFormat = 2 Then
Dim Decompress As String

obj_Decompress.OrginalSize = CLng(InfoArr(3))
If Not obj_Decompress.DecompressString(Data) Then
RaiseEvent Error("Decompression Error")
Exit Sub
End If
Data = Left$(Data, CLng(InfoArr(3)))
