In order to implement OleLoadPictureFile and OleLoadPictureFileEx, it will be necessary to change their entries in oleaut32.spec from stub to stdcall. The stdcall syntax wants a list of parameter types, which puts these functions in an unususal situation: they take a VARIANT (which is a struct, in case anyone is not familiar) by value as their first parameter. There does not seem to be any type defined in the spec file that fits this situation. I have been using ptr in my last couple of patches which add stub implementations for these functions, but when I tried to build this on cygwin I got errors like: undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Looking at the functions that are present in the .o file, I see they are really [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Changing the spec file to list each VARIANT as 4 longs fixes these errors. My question is, should my next version of the patch list the VARIANT as 4 longs, or is there some better way to specify this that I'm not aware of? If not, is there a comment syntax for the spec file where I can explain why there are 4 long params where there should be one VARIANT? Thanks Jeremy
