Making Simple Windows DLL in C

[nirlichtman]

- Notice that there are significant limitations on the APIs that can be used in the DLL entry point, more information in the docs about DllEntry
- In this video I make a DLL that does not expose any function (only implements a basic entry point), in the future I will also talk about how to actually expose functions from a DLL and use them from other programs

This channel is underrated.

It makes simple what many programmers see as something that seems to be a cumbersome like Windows programming.

Love these series. The best intro to any advanced programmer :)

Your content is absolutely fascinating. Thank you!

[Enderbro]

oh my god, it all makes sense. This exactly what I needed. thank you

This channel just started booming because of the recent titles, keep going man.

Love how the microphone picks up the typing so loudly. Like you're angrily smashing the keyboard while typing, lol.

[KrasniyNosok]

wow, just almost three minutes and i finally grasped the idea. was very useful, thanks 👏🏻

[aah-K]

Very cool, very straitforward and not alot of unnecessary talks lol

[caiomadeira]

Your channel is AMAZING. I would love if you make more long videos!

[rianxFFF]

Your video are just simple and straight

I don't know if Windows still does this, but back when I used Win98 it annoyed me that the callback for the DLL would be called two different ways depending on whether you loaded it manually or the OS did it automatically, and it would only ever pass one cleanup message, so there were instances where your DLL might not free the memory when it exits and back then the OS definitely didn't do it for you, so certain types of exits would cause weird leaks. I would hope that even if it still behaves the same way that the OS would cleanup whatever memory you don't deallocate, but you'll have to tell me either way because it's been nearly 20 years since I used Windows.

The loudness of your keypresses is ridiculously high. Why would you wanna distract your viewers like that...

[NullCyan]

what is the advantage of using DLL over static linking?

Hey i wanted to say that i love the fact that there is literally no boilerplate in ur videos, even less then in "No Boilerplate" 's ones. Like no intro at all

[MadMathMike]

How are you putting out SO MUCH content!? Aren't you worried about running out of ideas?! 😅 Great stuff! 👍😊

[nicepingrace]

Hi, your tutorials is perfect. It's fast and useful. Can you show simple algo, that required C for hardware optimization, and start in on unix socket? After that, I think it would be interested to call it from another language (like from php or javascript).

[kinekinekinekine]

Have you considered writing a Rust series? Perhaps one to focus on cross compilation and resolving various toolchain errors?

[adderek]

Well... seems that I should probably release the source code of a DLL I did decades ago... using assembler :D Even if it had its issues.

Nice video.
I didn't understand the compiler option /LD, what does it do? Also I noticed that nirsDll.lib was generated, when is lib file also needed along with dll?
