Unit testing of WDK driver utility DLL function

[Manfred Wilner]

I am at a loss rigth now!
I have a utility DLL for a Port monitor compiled with the WDK and want to
write Unit tests for exported functions in VS 2008. When I am linking the LIB
in VS and compile the Unit test DLL with the function in question I am
getting an unresolved external error with the reference to this name
(__imp_?IsGoodBasePortName@CMYUTILS@@QAEHPA_W@Z) and apparently is different
from the name in the library (?IsGoodBasePortName@CMYUTILS@@QAEHPAG@Z).
I assume it has something to do how the DLL was compiled but don't know what
I can do about it.

Hope someone can enlighten me.
Thank you,

Hello,
there is seemingly a mismatch in the argument list given to the
function.
This might be due to default properties like MBCS or UNICODE in the
environment
in difference to the builded DLL.
I would try to build a first version on the command line like
cl -DonnoWhatyouneed Caller.c -link test.lib

Good luck

C:\tmp>c++filt ?IsGoodBasePortName@CMYUTILS@@QAEHPA_W@Z
public: int __thiscall CMYUTILS::IsGoodBasePortName(wchar_t *)

C:\tmp>c++filt ?IsGoodBasePortName@CMYUTILS@@QAEHPAG@Z
public: int __thiscall CMYUTILS::IsGoodBasePortName(unsigned short *)

It was compiled on a compiler where wchar_t is native instead of being
#defined to unsigned short.

Thank you Tim this is what I thought is the problem but don't know how to
overcome it.
I am compiling the DLL with the WDK compile (7600.16385.0) and link with VS
2008.
So I assume that besides the apparent compiler differences some definitions
are different here as well.

What do I have to do to get this to work?
Also what program did you use to decode this cryptic name?

Thank you for your help.

He used c++filt

Your're welcome!

BTW.: The wchar_t issue is not too far away from my posting
