Hi Robert.
I have always presumed that loading of DLLS would be under the control of the user program so that he could take appropriate steps to
a) be sure that loading/unloading of DLLS wasn't occurring while in the midst of serialization stomething.
b) loading/unloading DLLS occurred one at at time.
It seems to me that this is enough to avoid problems. Am I missing something?
Sound good to me. Just be sure to make this explicitly documented. :-) I think Windows internally serializes DLL loading unloading also, but you'd have to check the DLLMain() documentation in MSDN for more information on that. I seem to recall it giving some list of things you can or can not do there or you risk causing a dead-lock. Hope this helps. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić
