would it still be called if a process crashes? like a dark basic app.

It probably wont if the program crashes before the DLL system is initialised...

Of course , but I mean after the DLL is loaded into the virtual address space of the current process

Test it.

Write a DLL with a messagebox in the detach section, and then write an app that uses it but deliberately writes to an uninitialised pointer. See if the messagebox appears.

Okey, I got some very weird results.

I made a simple plugin that gives a message box when a dll attaches and when it detaches. And I made a simple bugged DBP program:



now when I run that, I get an attach message, then a detach message, then another attach message, then another detach, and like that aint enough... I get another attach message when the window pops up. Now when the program ends by the crash, I get no detach message when the bla command is the first command in the code, but when it's called after a DBP command it does give me a detach message.

Now tell me... how weird is that ?

You have to be a little careful with plug-in DLLs - the compiler loads the DLL at least once, so that may be causing some of your attaches/detaches. That's why Lee included the Constructer/Destructor function calls.

I suggest that you build the exe, and then run it stand-alone from explorer.

ah, I only see one attach message now, that's good, but there is still a bug with the detaching stuff.

this one crashes with no detach message:


this one craches with a detach message:


why is that ?

oh and while we're at it, how can you manually detach plugins?
