Hi all,
I have a program that invokes an external DLL. I do not have the source code to this DLL.
Im using VS2012 to build this program, and I can use the v110 toolset (VS2012), the v100 toolset (VS2010), or the v90 toolset (VS2008).
I find that when I build using v110 or v100 and run on Windows 7, the program sometimes crashes inside a DLL call. Ive tried putting the call inside a try/catch(...), but nothing changed.
If I run on Windows XP, the program works. If I build with v90, then the program works even on Windows 7. Also, there are other calls in that DLL which work regardless, and even the affected call usually works.
I cant keep using v90 forever. And I cant debug into the DLL to figure out whats going on. I can contact the guys who developed the DLL, but theyll just blame the compiler and not lift a finger. Help?
What on Earth could cause the same DLL to fail or not, depending on which VS version was used to build the caller program? It doesnt make sense to me...
