Re: dlopen(0, RTLD_LAZY) doesn't work?


I've never seen this attempted to access a function not in a DLL, though
in theory (at least), what you're doing should work.  

Check the symbols in the resulting object file.  Make sure that the call
type is the same as you're referencing the function by.  In other words,
make sure that you call the function by the name as the object file has
it (probably stdcall) rather than the name as you write it (cdecl).  
Change your definition call type or the calling name itself so that the 
call type matches.  This might help.
