Error when calling go DLL from go using cgo #36157

DaLynX · 2019-12-16T08:58:36Z

What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?

$ go version
go version go1.13.5 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

I believe it is the latest release, so yes.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)?

go env Output

What did you do?

I am trying to call a DLL made with go from another program in go.

DLL code

package main

import "fmt"
import "C"
import "unsafe"
import "syscall"

// MessageBox of Win32 API.
func MessageBox(hwnd uintptr, caption, title string, flags uint) int {
	ret, _, _ := syscall.NewLazyDLL("user32.dll").NewProc("MessageBoxW").Call(
		uintptr(hwnd),
		uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(syscall.StringToUTF16Ptr(caption))),
		uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(syscall.StringToUTF16Ptr(title))),
		uintptr(flags))

	return int(ret)
}

// MessageBoxPlain of Win32 API.
func MessageBoxPlain(title, caption string) int {
	const (
		NULL  = 0
		MB_OK = 0
	)
	return MessageBox(NULL, caption, title, MB_OK)
}

//export hello
func hello () {
	MessageBoxPlain("Hello", "Hello world!")
}

func main() {
	fmt.Println("main: Hello world!")
	hello()
}

Caller code

package main

// #include <Windows.h>
//
// typedef void (*pfunc)();
//
// void callfunc(pfunc pf)
// {
//		pf();
// }
import "C"
import "fmt"
import "os"

func main() {
	var hModule C.HINSTANCE
	var hProc C.FARPROC
	var dllname, procname string
	var cDLLName, cProcName *C.char

	dllname = os.Args[1]
	procname = os.Args[2]

	fmt.Println("[i] DLL file to be loaded:", dllname)
	cDLLName = C.CString(dllname)
	hModule = C.LoadLibrary(cDLLName)
	if hModule == nil {
		fmt.Println("[!] Error loading library.")
		return
	}
	fmt.Println("[i] Got hModule:", fmt.Sprintf("%p", hModule))

	fmt.Println("[i] Procedure to be called:", procname)
	cProcName = C.CString(procname)
	hProc = C.GetProcAddress(hModule, cProcName)
	if hProc == nil {
		fmt.Println("[!] Error finding procedure:", procname)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println("[i] Got procedure", procname, "at address:", fmt.Sprintf("%p", hProc))

	fmt.Printf("[i] Calling %s:\n>\t", procname)
	C.callfunc(hProc)
	fmt.Println("[i] Done.")

}

What did you expect to see?

I expected to see the following output in the console, and the Hello World dialog.

C:\Users\xxx\Documents\B - Dev\Go\bin>goCaller.exe hello.dll hello
[i] DLL file to be loaded: hello.dll
[i] Got hModule: 0x62400000
[i] Procedure to be called: hello
[i] Got procedure hello at address: 0x6249cb90
[i] Calling hello:
>       [i] Done.

What did you see instead?

I get the following output:

C:\Users\xxx\Documents\B - Dev\Go\bin>goCaller.exe hello.dll hello
[i] DLL file to be loaded: hello.dll
[i] Got hModule: 0x62400000

[i] Got procedure hello at address: 0x6249cb90
[i] Calling hello:

It gets weirder!

If I replace the cgo code in the caller by the following, it works:

// #include <Windows.h>
//
// typedef void (*pfunc)();
//
// void callfunc(pfunc pf)
// {
//		MessageBox(0, "Calling...", "goCaller", 0);
//		pf();
// }

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

DLL code

Caller code

What did you expect to see?
