2017-09-26Win32: simplify loading of DLL functionsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+57
Dynamic loading of DLL functions is duplicated in several places in Git for Windows' source code. This patch adds a pair of macros to simplify the process: the DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(<dll>, <return-type>, <function-name>, ...<function-parameter-types>...) macro to be used at the beginning of a code block, and the INIT_PROC_ADDR(<function-name>) macro to call before using the declared function. The return value of the INIT_PROC_ADDR() call has to be checked; If it is NULL, the function was not found in the specified DLL. Example: DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(kernel32.dll, BOOL, CreateHardLinkW, LPCWSTR, LPCWSTR, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES); if (!INIT_PROC_ADDR(CreateHardLinkW)) return error("Could not find CreateHardLinkW() function"; if (!CreateHardLinkW(source, target, NULL)) return error("could not create hardlink from %S to %S", source, target); return 0; Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
