I've got little test here
https://gist.github.com/MrSmith33/8750dd43c0843d45ccf8#file-sharedmodule2-d-L17-L29.
I have one application and two dlls. Application loads both dlls, calls
their factory functions and then passes each IModule instance that it
got from factories to those modules.
Modules then try to cast those IModule refs back to their real
interfaces (ISharedModule1) but i am getting null there.
A have found a workaround for this by returning a void* pointer to real
interface and it back when needed.
Another, and more major issue is, that when exception is thrown
application fail immediately.
Is it broken on windows, or it is me doing it wrong?
Dlls are generally broken on windows. If you hack around in druntime
(e.g. the casting routines) you can get it to work to some degree, but
you are going to be happier if you just stay away from it.
Is there a bugzilla issue for this? And what is the status of windows dlls?
Yes there is: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9816
Also: http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP45
I'm currently working on it, but I can not promise anything. Also its
unclear how long its going to take to get it merged once its actually
working.
Kind Regards
