Can't use dll functions

C Plus Noob (4)
Hi,

I load a dll and then I want to use the dll's functions, but if I call a function from the dll, it gives a weird error. The error is on line 53.

This is the code I use:

}


It gives this error while running:
Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.


Can anyone help?

try typedef double (__cdecl *FUNCTION1)(double, double); or typedef double ( *FUNCTION1)(double, double);

How did you declare functions in DLL? If they are declared as
__declspec(dllexport) void Somefunction() then you don't need CALLBACK in function pointer definition.

You can read more about calling conventions here: http://unixwiz.net/techtips/win32-callconv.html
