Hello, i have created a dll that contains one function named "testing", using visual studio 2012.

Function "testing" does only one thing, just returns number 2

I am trying to use this dll with fasm, by doing this

Code:

library DllTest,'D:\ASM\DllTest.dll'
import DllTest,testing,'testing'

or even this

Code:

library DllTest,'D:\ASM\DllTest.dll'
import DllTest,testing,1

Fasm compiles fine
but every time i use the name "testing" inside my code, i get an error when the program executes, even if i dont call the function. For example, the following codes will produce an error

Code:

.data
msg db 'Number is:%d',10,0

.code
start:
        mov eax,5
        push eax
        push msg
        call [printf]

        call [getch]
        push 0
        call [ExitProcess]
        call [testing]

.end start

Code:

.data
msg db 'Number is:%d',10,0

.code
start:

        call [testing]
        push eax
        push msg
        call [printf]

        call [getch]
        push 0
        call [ExitProcess]

.end start

Code:

.data
msg db 'Number is:%d',10,0

.code
start:

        mov eax,testing
        push eax
        push msg
        call [printf]

        call [getch]
        push 0
        call [ExitProcess]

.end start

The error is "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b)"

Can anyone help me ? I just want to call function "testing" from fasm

Try copying the DLL to the same folder your executable is at, modify your fasm source to refer the dll just by its filename rather than the full path. If there are still problems, please upload your DLL (the binary, the source is only optional).

printf uses c calling convention, you are not correcting the stack. You should use cinvoke for cdecl convention, even though it should still work, it is not good practice Very Happy

You must also verify that the dll uses cdecl or stdcall (or fastcall for that matter)

You can also correct the stack manually, after printf, put add esp,8

Your dll does not export any function.

If you make a .def(inition) file and store this inside of it

Code:

LIBRARY MyLibrary
EXPORTS FunctionName @1 <- Ordinal here

nmake is correct, no function is exported. Have you done this? (Or whatever is necessary, I've never made a DLL in VS actually)

I have followed a tutorial to make my dll.
Just tried what msdn says, and it worked fine. Thank you Smile

Never forget the examples section on flatassembler.
There is a working example of creating a DLL.
