Calling delphi DLL from MS Visual C++

First, you need to declare all the functions exported by your Delphi DLL with the keywords export; stdcall;

Secondly, your VC++ header file should declare all the functions as of type __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall (double leading underscores, and should enclose the function prototypes within extern "C" { ... } . (You can also use __declspec(dllimport) instead...) For example:

 

---

extern "C" {

  int __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall plusone(int);

}

---

Thirdly, in VC++ the compiler does insist on decorating __stcall function names, so your Delphi DLL has to export these functions accordingly. The way to do it is to modify the Delphi 2.0 .DPR file for your DLL by modifying the names of all functions as they appear in the exports clause. For example, if you are exporting a function plusone(intval : Integer) you need to include it in the .DPR file's exports clause as:

---

  plusone name 'plusone@4'

---

The number following the @ symbol is the total length in bytes of all the function's arguments. The simplest way to find out the correct values is to try to link your VC++ program and inspect the "unresolved external" linker errors that result.

FINALLY, you can easily create an import library using the LIB utility supplied with VC++. To do it, you need to manually (!!) create a .DEF file for your DLL, with an exports clause listing the names and/or ordinals of all the functions the DLL exports. The format of the .DEF file is simple:

---

library MYLIB

description 'My very own DLL'

exports

  plusone@4

---

Then you execute LIB from the DOS/Win95 command line, supplying your .DEF file as a command-line parameter. For example, LIB /DEF:MYDLL.DEF . You tell VC++ about your .LIB file in the Build|Settings|Linker dialog.

Sample code follows:

---

 

*******MYDLLMU.PAS

unit MyDLLMU;

 

interface

 

function plusone(val : Integer) : Integer; export; stdcall;

procedure ChangeString(AString : PChar); export; stdcall;

 

implementation

 

uses

  Dialogs,

  SysUtils;

 

function plusone(val : Integer) : Integer;

begin

  Result := val + 1;

end;

 

procedure ChangeString(AString : PChar);

begin

  if AString = 'Hello' then

  StrPCopy(AString, 'World');

end;

 

end.

---

 

***********MYDLL.DPR

library mydll;

 

{ Important note about DLL memory management: ShareMem must be the

  first unit in your library's USES clause AND your project's (select

  View-Project Source) USES clause if your DLL exports any procedures or

  functions that pass strings as parameters or function results. This

  applies to all strings passed to and from your DLL--even those that

  are nested in records and classes. ShareMem is the interface unit to

  the DELPHIMM.DLL shared memory manager, which must be deployed along

  with your DLL. To avoid using DELPHIMM.DLL, pass string information

  using PChar or ShortString parameters. }

 

uses

  SysUtils,

  Classes,

  MyDLLMU in 'MyDLLMU.pas';

 

exports

  plusone name 'plusone@4',

  ChangeString name 'ChangeString@4';

 

begin

end.
