Plugin error

[RobRoy]

I'm just starting to do my own plugin. I think the function gir_version, gir_name, gir_description, gir_devicenum and gir_requested_api are working good but for gir_open and gir_close I got a problem.

My probleme is when I want to open Girder with my plugin in the plugin directory, Girder show the start picture and close rigth away without error.

What do I forget?? or what do I do wrong?

Thank.

Have you declared the functions as __stdcall or WINAPI ?

[RobRoy]

Which function I have to declare as __stdcall or WINAPI and how you do that?

[Mark F]

All of the functions you export to Girder (gir_*) must be declared as stdcall.

How you do that depends on what tool set you are using. If you are using VC++:
Pull down the project menu
Choose settings
In the "Settings for:" list, choose "All Configurations"
Go to the C/C++ tab
Choose "Code Generation" in the drop down list
In the "Calling convention" list, choose __stdcall
Press OK

You will need to Rebuild All on the project

[Ron]

__stdcall is a calling convention, it makes sure that Girder and the plugin know how to communicate with eachother.

you'll need to define every function that Girder gets ( gir_* ) to be __stdcall or WINAPI (is the same )



int WINAPI gir_requested_api(int maxapi)


Alternativly you can also tell your compiler to simple compiler all functions as stdcall. In VC6 this can be done in Project|Settings|C/C++|Code Generation|Calling Convetion

Hope this helps. What compiler are you using ?

edit: Mark beat me to it :-)
