using dll in am
Hi, I'm trying to implement my own access method, which uses c++
framework for saving tuples. The framework consists of set of
functions, which are implemented in win32 dll.
All the functions which are desired by PG (ambuild, aminsert, ...) are
implemented and functional. But when I want to use any of the
functions from dll so there's problem when loading the dll in
dynloader. It says that function can't be found (in the time of
loading the dll).
I do following steps:
1. Compiling the dll in Microsoft Visual Studio.
2. Creating the def file (in mingw32):
impdef rtreewrapper.def rtreewrapper.dll
which yealds in the folowing def file:
LIBRARY RTREEWRAPPER.DLL
EXPORTS
f_cRTreeItem_GetSize = _f_cRTreeItem_GetSize@4
f_cRTreeLeafItem_GetSize = _f_cRTreeLeafItem_GetSize@4
f_cRTreeLeafItem_size = _f_cRTreeLeafItem_size@0
f_header = _f_header@0
f_header_ComputeNodeSize = _f_header_ComputeNodeSize@4
f_header_CreateSpaceDescriptor= _f_header_CreateSpaceDescriptor@12
f_header_GetSpaceDescriptor_GetDimension= _f_header_GetSpaceDescriptor_GetDimension@4
f_header_GetSpaceDescriptor_SetBitSize= _f_header_GetSpaceDescriptor_SetBitSize@12
f_header_SetLeafNodeItemSize = _f_header_SetLeafNodeItemSize@8
f_header_SetNodeItemSize = _f_header_SetNodeItemSize@8
f_leafitem1 = _f_leafitem1@0
f_leafitem = _f_leafitem@4
f_leafitem_GetTuple_GetValue_GenerateRandom= _f_leafitem_GetTuple_GetValue_GenerateRandom@8
f_leafitem_Resize = _f_leafitem_Resize@8
f_timer = _f_timer@0
f_timer_Print = _f_timer_Print@8
f_timer_Start = _f_timer_Start@4
f_timer_Stop = _f_timer_Stop@4
f_tree = _f_tree@4
f_tree_Close = _f_tree_Close@4
f_tree_Create = _f_tree_Create@16
f_tree_Find = _f_tree_Find@8
f_tree_GetQueryStatistics_GetCounter_GetValue= _f_tree_GetQueryStatistics_GetCounter_GetValue@4
f_tree_GetQueryStatistics_GetCounter_Reset= _f_tree_GetQueryStatistics_GetCounter_Reset@4
f_tree_Insert = _f_tree_Insert@8
f_tree_PrintInfo = _f_tree_PrintInfo@4
3. Creating the .a file from dll by using:
dlltool --dllname rtreewrapper.dll --def rtreewrapper.def --output-lib rtreewrapper.a
4. Compiling the whole AM module with makefile containing following line:
OBJS = atomrtget.o atomrtree.o atomrtscan.o atomrtcostestimate.o rtreewrapper.a
5. Copy the dll to the bin directory (when I let it in the contrib
directory, where also the libatomrtree.dll file with the AM functions
is, so it writes out, that the modul can't be found, when loading it).
6. When there is "void *header = f_header()" anywhere in the source,
so when trying to load the dll (when I try to create the index), it
writes out, that "function can't be found" (I got czech version, so I'm
not sure, what the message is in english).
Does anybody got any hint, where the problem could be? I really can't
find it:((
Thanks.

I don't think you can use VS for building PG shared libraries --- it's
got incompatible conventions about symbol spelling, or some such.
There are more details in the pgsql-hackers-win32 archives I think.

If I get you right, you have *two* DLLs? One in mingw that in turn loads
another one that's in VC++? If so, a couple of hints:
1) Run "depends" on the mingw DLL. It will list symbols that can't be
resolved. "depends" is a part of the Windows Support Tools, on your
windows CD.
2) Check that you can create a mingw *exe* that uses the functions in
the VC++ DLL. If not, make sure that works first, because that should be
easier to tweak.

Yes, you got me right. I'm just trying the 2) and it doesn't work. So
I'll try the "depends" tool.
Thx,
David

Uff, I finally got it. It's very simple. I was trying to use dlltool
all the time, but the solution is much simplier - just use directly
the .lib file with gcc and it will handle it. So easy that it didn't
cross my mind:)
gcc "....." atomrtget.o atomrtree.o atomrtscan.o atomrtcostestimate.o rtreewrapper.lib
Thanks,
David
