Hi all,
I created a dll using msvc6.0 which includes a function like:
  int fn(char * filename);
  {
    MessageBox(hwnd, filename, "Name", MB_OK);
    ...
   }
in my delphi, i convert it to:
  function fn(filename: PChar) : Integer; stdcall;
but with the following code:
  Host = 'a.txt';
  PHost = Addr(Host[1]);
  fn(PHost);  

the MessageBox in fn() shows some strange chars not 'a.txt' with
the right title "Name".

Does anyone know where I did wrong?
Thanks very much for any help,
-CZ

Your Delphi declaration doesn't match your C declaration. C uses the
cdecl calling convention by default, not stdcall.

Fix the calling convention and see if that solves the problem. If it
doesn't, then please post your actual code.

Thanks Rob. That solves the problem.

I used DRBOB's headconv tool to convert it and found some
complex if-else block and then deleted the cdecl part...
(I looked at Delphi's mmsystem.pas which has stdcall declaration,
but i didn't know the difference then...)
