Evaluate() in TCC-RT

[Charles Dye]

TakeCommand.dll in TCC-RT v20 exported Evaluate(). In v21 it doesn't. Is this change deliberate? Permanent?

 

[Charles Dye]

P.S. There is no TCC-RT forum. Should there be?

OT, but ... Charles, have you somehow automated trying to figure out what function isn't supplied by takecmd.dll? I hadn't, and often struggled with the chore. If you have, please share it. Today I came up with this which works, at least in this specific case. It shows that of the functions 4UTILS needs, Evaluate() is missing. I'll see if I can make it robust, and put it in a BTM.

g:\tcc-rt\plugins> do f in /P (dumpbin /imports:takecmd.dll 4utils.dll | grep "^[ ]*[^ ][^ ][^ ] [^ ]*$" | cut -c 23-) ( echo %f & dumpbin /exports ..\takecmd.dll | grep " %f" )

No, I haven't found any easy way either. I keep thinking there should be some simple way using Dependency Walker, but I haven't found one.

 

[Charles Dye]

Actually, Evaluate() is still there; it's just decorated now.

Actually, Evaluate() is still there; it's just decorated now.

That's something I've naver quite understood. When it's undecorated, it has the correct signature.

g:\sdk9-17> undecorate ?Evaluate@@YGHPA_W@Z
int __stdcall Evaluate(wchar_t *)

That's how it's decorated in the LIB, and you can link with it. So why can't it be found at run time?

 

[vefatica]

Charles, here's something to play with. It will have to be edited to call the correct VCVARS batfile and if you use non-standard plugin directoty names. It also may need fixing if your DUMPBIN produces different output from mine (VS10). It's faster with GREP.EXE, but that's not terribly important to me, and a TCC-only solution is nice. Below is an example of its use showing that Evaluate is missing.

v:\> type tcmdexports.btm
set plugname=%1.dll
set tccdir=%2
set plugdir=%tccdir\plugins
if not defined VCINSTALLDIR call l:\VS10\vc\bin\vcvars32.bat
do line in /P dumpbin /imports:takecmd.dll %plugdir\%plugname
   if "%line" == "" .or. %@words[%line] != 2 .or. %@index[%line,.,0] GT 0 iterate
   echo %@word[1,%line]
   set search= %@word[1,%line] & REM the leading space in "search" is crucial
   do l in /P dumpbin /exports %tccdir\takecmd.dll
       set p=%@index[%l,%search,1]
       if %p == -1 iterate
       if "%@instr[%p,,%l]" == "%search" echo %l
   enddo
   echo.
enddo

Charles, here's something to play with.

Thank you for that!

 

[rconn]

The recent builds of TCC-RT include an undecorated Evaluate().

 

[Charles Dye]

Thank you!

 

[Charles Dye]

It's undecorated in build 61. (As in the current Take Command, and TCC/LE.)
