c++ - Linkage problem

reply MRatcliff <software netrh.com> writes:
I used implib to create a .lib file for psapi.dll. I also found a header file.

The header file contains an ifdef __cplusplus declaration so it appears the
linkage should have C semantics.

The .lib file shows, among other entry points, the following (using libunres):

_EnumProcessModules
_EnumProcessModulesEx
_EnumProcesses
_GetDeviceDriverBaseNameA
_GetDeviceDriverBaseNameW
The 'EnumProcesses' is the function I am calling in a test application.  When
it links I get the following error:

OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 8.00.5

.\Obj\tproclist.obj(tproclist)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _EnumProcesses 12

How can I get this to resolve corrrectly?

The 12 means it is compiled using the stdcall calling convention, not the C++ calling convention.

Thanks -

Problem resolved by removing the WINAPI macro from the header file.

BOOL WINAPI EnumProcesses(DWORD *,DWORD,DWORD *);

To

BOOL EnumProcesses(DWORD *,DWORD,DWORD *);
