C++ dllexport/dllimport

Am doing a JNI wrap on a C++ API, am using VC7 and Eclipse. In preparation, I created a C++ executable which mimicked the flow of the JNI, i.e. a driver file which called methods in file with methods which call the API functions I want to use. That compiled and ran well. The C++ code is as follows:
My header file

 void createSummarizer(char* rdir, char* lFile, char* key);

void createInputOptions(const char* genre, const char* variant, const char* lang, const char* encoding, const char* format);

void setSentenceOutput(unsigned int sentences_wanted, bool sentence_offset_only, bool normalize_score);

void setPhraseOutput(unsigned int phrases_wanted, bool phrase_offset_only);

I started out by trying to get VC7 executables (cl and linker) to run in Eclipse using an ant script the way I usually do with gcc. Finally, I created a dll project in VC7 and added the header, JNI file and a .DEF file to it. However when I compiled and linked, the .lib file and obj file were created, but no dll and the following errors:

These functions exist in the API, one is as follows:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 INXIGHT_SUMMARIZER_EXPORT summarization_interface* make_summarization

        (summarizer_interface& s,

         inxight::byte_stream_interface& bstr,

         const summarization_input_options& input_options,

         const summarization_sentence_output& sentence_output_options,

         const summarization_phrase_output& phrase_output_options,

         const char* query_string,

         size_t query_length,

         const char* query_encoding);

The macro/preprocessor command INXIGHT_SUMMARIZER_EXPORT is conditionally set on whether the vendor's dll is being created or not.
I have been through the compile and link command line for the C++ and JNI implementations and can find nothing that has to do with the vendor's code and dll.
So why do these things show up in one implementation and not the other?

What does your DEF file look like?

Also, a DLL is a C structure. That means the function names have to be unique.

I assume all of the function names you have in the DEF file are all extern "C" in the C++ code.

The extern "C" also prevents your using member functions in the DEF file. You will need to write a wrapper for these.

Java_com_sra_pipeline_servers_summarizer_JSummarizer_setPhraseOpts

Java_com_sra_pipeline_servers_summarizer_JSummarizer_getSummary

As is shown in the listing above for the JNI implementation these are all "JNIEXPORT"
however a standard part of the javah generated header file is

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 #ifdef _cplusplus

extern "C" {

#endif

This fits inside the header guard statements/#def and the bracket encloses all the functions.
The functions that end up being unresolved symbols are not ones from my code. They exist in the API and they are exported or imported apparently at the time that the API DLL is compiled or not. Never seen this before, where the vender's compilation instruction force themselves into my compilation.
The only thing of concern from their code should be whether the function you want to use is exported, but then that's the whole point of a dll, their imports have never been an issue and are not in the C++ implimentation.

}

Any C++ class code should be called from the API functions. Those LNK2019 and LNK2001 look like some of your code is not in your build, like maybe you are missing a library.

First, some clarification. The .DEF file I posted is not the one for the vendor's dll, it is for the JNI dll which I can't get to build. This is my first time using MSVC for one of these projects, usually use GNI g++/gcc package. Using it I usually see in the build output a section where the C++ manged names are being resolved to the Java methods I tag with the qualifier "native" in the Java code and the JNI signatures.
The JNI file handles the Java - C/C++ interface and gives me a "native" environment to call native functions.
The loading and unloading that you talked about all happens on the Java side, I use System.loadLibrary(<lib name>) to load the JNI dll, which has a dependency on the 3rd party dll and gets it loaded, but not directly as you showed. Unloading is handled implicitly or explicitly by Java's garbage collection. I will just need to clean up the 4 C++ objects I create.
Got to thinking about what you said, and made sure that I had all the paths to libraries. Added a couple but no luck.
Did however think about how the two projects are different. C++ built an exe mine builds a dll. In one of the vendor's .h files, specifically inxight-sum-declspec.h I found this song-and-dance:

In the C++ project, I was actually working under their test project so INXIGHT_BUILDING_SUMMARIZER_TEST would have been defined so it would fail through at that point. On the dll project it would pass the first line and because I'm not building the Summarizer dll (Summarizer37.dll) it falls into the first # else. This certainly matches the value of INXIGHT_SUMMARIZER_EXPORT that is showing up in the errors.
Now my understanding is that this is happening because I am building against the .lib files. My info is that when you do that you are actually pulling the vendor's functionality into your dll, which makes their preprocessor directives in scope. Does that make sense? This is the first time I've had .libs available, normally I build against the dll. Will try building it that way.
BTW looked up your profile. Your an inspiration to me, to still be actively involved in this field at your age is commendable, born in 46 here our generation continues to make contributions, and I my feeling is we're better off for staying involved. Thanks

Tried it with only the primary DLL i.e. Summarizer37.dll and all the errors went away. Unfortunately, I now have a LNK1136 error "invalid or corrupt file" have tried all the remedies MS advocates, any ideas?

Apparently linker.exe does not link against a dll, and that is source of the LNK1136 error. Finally got it to work. Was including too many .lib files in the project. I included only summarizer.lib and platform37.lib and it compiled. When I put the dll in my Java project and tried to call it I got an error. At least I have the command line to use in my ant script so will keep at it.
Thanks very much

Did however think about how the two projects are different. C++ built an exe mine builds a dll.
[/code]

What does that mean??

C++ does not build an exe. Are you referring to MSVC? If so, and it is building a exe, you have the wrong project type. Am I just hallucinating here?

Yes using MSVC, and the C++ project was mostly to ensure that I could hang on to the 4 setup objects (summarizer, inputopts, sentenceopts, and phraseopts) and have them available and valid when I called the final constructor for summarization. In that sense it was successful. So I didn't try the next step of building a dll with the C++ code which I guess would make it an extension of the vendor's library. Instead I skipped to compiling the JNI code into a dll, which is where I had the problem. But did get it to build finally.
When I called it from Java I could call the function that creates the summarizer object, the one that creates the input_options object, the sentence-options and the phrase_options; with no problems. It fails when I try to pass all those objects + the byte stream to the constructor for summarization. My print statements show me that it never gets past that step.
This does indicate that the Java code is communicating with the JNI which in turn is communicating with the vendor's dll. According to the error file that Java generates the Problematic frame is in kernel32.dll + 0x12a5b.
I've asserted the pointers to the first 5 objects and they pass, but I realized that only meant they had been assigned, and not much else. They surely point to an address, but I don't know how to determine whether that address still holds the value I placed there.
If I place a "DeBug()" statement before that problem line and look at the objects in VC7 debug, it appears they are all valid, in that they have addresses.
The stak from the Java error file is:
Stack: [0x003a0000,0x003f0000), sp=0x003ef2e4, free space=316k

I've been in this place before I went off to try the VC7 projects, and don't know where to go from here.
