#48962: Error starting c++ program linking to libstdc++-6.dll on Windows 9x without KernelEx Open Date: 2023-12-30 10:41 Last Update: 2023-12-31 21:44 URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net//projects/mingw/ticket/48962 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=3917&tid=48962 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Changes/Comment on this Ticket: 2023-12-31 21:44 Updated by: keith Comment: Reply To keith ... but I may be able to offer advice on a suitable implementation ... FWIW, this (compilable, but otherwise untested) implementation may suffice, as a replacement for the unconditionally exported CreateHardLinkW at 12 export spec: #include "legacy.h" #include <winbase.h> #include <winerror.h> WINBASEAPI BOOL WINAPI CreateHardLinkW (LPCWSTR NewFile, LPCWSTR ToFile, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES attrib) { typedef BOOL WINAPI (*api)( LPCWSTR, LPCWSTR, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES ); static void *call = API_UNCHECKED; return ((call = __kernel32_entry_point( call, __FUNCTION__ )) != NULL) ? ((api)(call))( NewFile, ToFile, attrib ) : ERROR_OLD_WIN_VERSION; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket Status: Reporter: qiannangong Owner: (None) Type: Issues Status: Open Priority: 5 - Medium MileStone: (None) Component: (None) Severity: 5 - Medium Resolution: None --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket details: LIBSTDC++-6.DLL bundled in latest package requires an export named CreateHardLinkW in KERNEL32.DLL, which seems not to be available on vanilla Windows 9x platform... However, A static linked program may work only if it does not use the APIs may refer to the CreateHardLinkW. -- Ticket information of MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows project MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows Project is hosted on OSDN Project URL: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ OSDN: https://osdn.net URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/48962 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=3917&tid=48962
