| subject: | writing REXX DLL`s |
I have a couple of questions about REXX DLL's. I have a DLL that _almost_ works. As long as you only have _one_ session running with it at a time. The problem _seems_ to be something about the global variables I have, or at least that's all I can figure out. The only reason I doubt this is that a DLL loaded by seperate processes should have its own global data space... shouldn't it? If so, then nothing should conflict between the two processes (instances of the command interpreter, whether I use 4OS/2 2.52A or the Warp CMD.EXE). If not, would I get a Sys3175 error when using a pointer that was created in the first process ... in a second one? Or how about a semaphore created in the first process? (I want to use a semaphore around global access, obviously.) The DLL, as I said, seems to work in its own process, with no one else running it. As soon as I try to use a function in the second process which uses the globals (i.e., the load/drop functions work fine in the second process), the second process quits - the first one continues to work fine. This is just plain annoying now. Any help would be very much appreciated. (Code _can_ be posted, but please specify what you want posted - there's over 36k of source here...) --- Maximus/2 3.01* Origin: Tanktalus' Tower BBS (PVT) (1:342/708) SEEN-BY: 50/99 54/99 270/101 620/243 625/0 160 711/409 410 413 430 808 809 SEEN-BY: 711/934 955 712/311 407 505 506 517 623 624 704 841 713/317 800/1 @PATH: 342/5015 61 3615/50 396/1 270/101 712/624 711/808 934 |
