The DLL menu

 

The DLL menu demonstrates the capability of Memory Validator to detect dynamic loading and unloading of DLLs via one of the following Win32 calls:

 

•LoadLibrary()

•LoadLibraryEx()

•FreeLibrary()

 

 

 

 

DLL1, DLL2, DLL4, and MFC DLL

 

These four DLLs can each be loaded and unloaded and each has a test function in it, for example:

 

DLL1 submenu ...

 

•Load DLL load the DLL
 

•Unload DLL unload the DLL
 

•Test DLL call the supplied test function in the DLL

 

The test function performs some memory allocation functions, which may result in memory leaks.

 

See the CTeststakView class methods: OnDllLoaddll1(), OnDllUnloaddll1(), OnDllTestdll1(), etc

 

 

Dependent DLLS

 

The next three options load and unload DLLs having dependent DLLs which should also be loaded:

 

•Load Dependent DLLs (using LoadLibrary) loads dllADependentOnB.dll
 

This is dependent on dllBDependentOnC.dll which, in turn, is dependent on dllC.dll
 

•Load Dependent DLLs (using LoadLibrary via GetProcAddress) Similar to the above, but different methods
 

•Unload Dependent DLLs frees the library if loaded

 
See the CTeststakView class methods: OnDllLoaddependentdlls(), OnDllLoaddependentdlls_LLGPA() and OnDllUnloaddependentdlls().
