Exception during module load?

Exception during module load?

• Albert_Khor

  After rebuilding some VC8 Beta 2-built third party DLLs with VC8 RC1, I still see the above exception when running in the debugger, but it can be continued from with no ill effects.  Still having downstream problems so I'm not sure if these exceptions are benign or not.
  
  I've done a lot of web-searching but I've been unable to discover any resources with advice on debugging exceptions during this part of the load process.  Does anyone know of a book or website that may be useful

  We had the same problem (dlls linked to objective grid 6.1 crashing during registration). Got around that and now there is a crash during unloading. Any pointers will be appreciated.

  As I see from your output, you also have stingray dlls. well we have them too and
  had similar problems:
  
  FDBK37736 from MSDN Product Feedback Will give you a hint I guess:
  Search for '_pRawDllMain contains nonsense at __DllMainCRTStartup'
  
  The solution also posted on this bug is:
  
  We applied your workaround slightly different to your
  proposal, because we have the source of the stingray
  libs, so I was able to modify the stingray buildprocess,
  so that _pRawDllMain was removed from the generated .def
  file.

  You also might try the following:

  Search for *dll.bwi in your <stingray install dir>\Utils folder

  Replace this line

  #include "afxdllx.h" // standard MFC Extension DLL routines

  with these lines

  #if _MFC_VER < 0x0800
  #include "afxdllx.h" // standard MFC Extension DLL routines
  #endif;

  
  in each product's *dll.bwi file.

  This will propagate the changes above when you run each of your Stingray product's build wizards.

  To affect your current *.dll.cpp files:

  Also, search for *dll.cpp in your <stingray install dir>\Src folder

  repeat the steps above.

  Rebuild your Stingray libraries.

  Rebuild and relink your application with your rebuilt Stingray libraries.

  HTH,

  Himantura

  Thanks a lot, Hermann, that's very helpful!
  
  I'm curious, what exactly did you do to the stingray buildprocess to remove the _pRawDllMain export   Remove #include <afxdllx.h> from gxdll.cpp
