So I would like to use the DLL that I created, and I have this really weird warning I didn't see anyone has this one. I checked if LoadLibray
returns "NULL", and this is not the case.
typedef DATA_BLOB(*encryption_decryption)(DATA_BLOB, bool*);
HINSTANCE dll_file = LoadLibrary(L"dllForEncryptionNDecryptionn.dll");
if (dll_file != NULL) {
cout << "Library loaded!" << endl;
}
else {
failed();
}
encryption_decryption encryption = (encryption_decryption)GetProcAddress(dll_file,"encryption");
if(encryption != NULL)
{
cout << "Workded!" << endl;
}
else
{
failed();
}
void failed() {
cout << GetLastError() << endl;
cout << "Faild!" << endl;
}
Warning at the 8th line: "'dll_file' could be '0': this does not adhere to the specification for the function 'GetProcAddress'."
Everything works, it doesn't write any errors when I run it.
If anything goes wrong in LoadLibrary
you call failed()
that prints the error code and returns.
HINSTANCE dll_file = LoadLibrary(L"dllForEncryptionNDecryptionn.dll");
if (dll_file != NULL) {
cout << "Library loaded!" << endl;
}
else {
failed(); // returns even when dll_file is NULL
}
// so, here you don't know if it's NULL or a valid handle which is why you get the warning
encryption_decryption encryption = (encryption_decryption)GetProcAddress(dll_file,"encryption");
If LoadLibrary
fails, you shold not use that dll_file
to call GetProcAddress
.
encryption_decryption encryption = nullptr;
HINSTANCE dll_file = LoadLibrary(L"dllForEncryptionNDecryptionn.dll");
if(dll_file) {
encryption_decryption encryption =
(encryption_decryption)GetProcAddress(dll_file,"encryption");
} else {
// do NOT call GetProcAddress
}
if(encryption) {
// function successfully loaded
}
