DOC: GetProcAddress Does Not Support Ordinal Symbols (149515)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, Macintosh Cross-Development Addon 4.0
This article was previously published under Q149515 SUMMARY
GetProcAddress() returns NULL when passing a valid ordinal value for a
DLL's exported function. The Macintosh Windows Portability Layer
implementation of GetProcAddress() does not support obtaining exported
function addresses by the function's ordinal value.
MORE INFORMATION
DLLs on the Macintosh are implemented using Code Fragment Libraries (CFM)
on Power Macintoshes. Apple's implementation of CFMs only allows symbols to
be exported by name. Therefore, you must use the exported function name to
obtain the function address.
