Re: dllmain revisited

Think i found the catch:

cygwin_dll.h contains these lines:

#define DECLARE_CYGWIN_DLL(Entry)

CDECL_BEGIN
  int WINAPI _cygwin_dll_entry (HANDLE h, DWORD reason, void *ptr);


Meaning, that lines 43 and 44 in utils/dllinit.c:

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HHINSTANCE hInst, DWORD reason,
                LPVOID reserved /* Not used. */ );

should look like this:

BOOL WINAPI DllMain(HANDLE hInst, DWORD reason,
                void *reserved /* Not used. */ );


And lines 76-80

BOOL            APIENTRY
DllMain(
                HINSTANCE hInst /* Library instance handle. */ ,
                DWORD reason /* Reason this function is being called. */
,
                LPVOID reserved /* Not used. */ )

should look like this

BOOL            WINAPI
DllMain(
                HANDLE hInst /* Library instance handle. */ ,
                DWORD reason /* Reason this function is being called. */
,
                void *reserved /* Not used. */ )

                LPVOID *reserved /* Not used. */ )

Please correct me if I am wrong.
