How to load the DLL from the main project c++ -


i have created project uses 2 dll's play against each other (a dll player). game first player picks number , second player picks number, , playround function compares 2 numbers. problem not sure how load dll (run/load time). created first dll (simple.dll) has pick function returns "int 2" simplicity:

#include "stdafx.h" #define asexport #include <iostream> #include "player.h"  using namespace std;  int pick(int round, int mymoves[], int opponentmoves[]) {     return 2; }

this project have header (player.h) following code:

#ifndef asexport #define dllimportorexport dllimport #else #define dllimportorexport dllexport #endif  _declspec(dllimportorexport) int pick(int round, int mymoves[], int opponentmoves[]);

not sure include code include in main or in function:

    hinstance hinstlib;      myproc procadd;      bool ffreeresult, fruntimelinksuccess = false;       // handle dll module.      //hinstlib = loadlibrary(text(player2name));       hinstlib = loadlibrary();     // if handle valid, try function address.      if (hinstlib != null)      {          procadd = (myproc) getprocaddress(hinstlib, "simple.dll");           // if function address valid, call function.          if (null != procadd)          {             fruntimelinksuccess = true;             (procadd) (l"message sent dll function\n");          }          // free dll module.         ffreeresult = freelibrary(hinstlib);      }   // report failures     if (! fruntimelinksuccess)          printf("unable load dll or link functions\n");      if (! ffreeresult)          printf("unable unload dll\n"); //

i hope made easy understand

you can see in moduleservice implementation in indiezen core library. treat .dll , .so "module". in plugin system have standard every module implements 1 , 1 exported function, getmodule() in example, pick() in use case.

my example returns in implementation of i_module interface. in example, modules collections of plugins, thing can implementation of i_plugin, in turn can used gain access class factories, , these class factories construct objects (extensions) implement pre-defined interfaces (extension points).

i know that's overkill example, code quite easy follow; feel free copy/paste subsets can use.

one key thing not use _declspec(dllimportorexport) on pick function; should exporting function , not importing it. should not linking these dll's main application, nor should include dll's header file main application. give flexibility of being able import 2 separate dll's expose same function (pick in case) without having linking errors. give advantage of not knowing names of dll's until runtime (where possibly may want configuration or gui let user pick players).

my implementation, reference counting, class factory, etc give added advantage in have 2 players implemented within same dll play against each other.

html - Sizing a high-res image (~8MB) to display entirely in a small div (circular, diameter 100px) -

first of all, thank being patient know simple question more couple of weeks' experience figure out. i've seen folks persevere , helpful on here , hope you're willing me. here fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/65uzf/ here 1 of places searched answers on here: ( vertically center image thumbnails fix-sized div ) tried solutions on there , didn't work out me. i've searched ~4 or 5 others, , been unsuccessful those, too. what want take large image (what linked background-image #ysypic , #tabpic divs) , display thumbnail version of image in confines of divs have set it. is, using background properties have laid out in css, portion of image displays inside of circular divs. without these properties, display defaults smaller section of image [presumably pi*(50^2) area in top left] terrible resolution. i not care if entire image doesn't display inside of circles (it won't, given difference in shape), , overflow not being displayed fine. want able see figu

java - IntelliJ - No such instance method -

using intellij's 12 ultimate, i'm running following code in debugger: java import play.api.libs.json.jsvalue; public class foo { ... public jsvalue tojson() { ... } public class fooexample { ... foo foo = new foo(); system.out.println("...); //<-- breakpoint at breakpoint, right-clicked source code , picked "evaluate expression," typing in: foo.tojson() . but following error showed up: no such instance method: play.api.libs.json.jsvalue$class.com.foo.foo.tojson () am doing wrong? foo#tojson calls scala code, if matters. edit had breakpoint after instantiation of foo. downvoted it, deserved it. edit my answer no longer valid after op modified question (i.e. moved breakpoint actual is).. a breakpoint hit before line executed. in case foo has not yet been declared or instantiated (i.e. foo constructor has not yet been called). you'll need put breakpoint @ next line (or step on current line) if want evaluate foo .

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
