    calling program crash

    Have a mainProg.exe that calls DLL1 (C++ DLL, no user/worker thread created) and DLL1 calls DLL2 (MFC DLL). Have no access to DLL2 code.

    Without FreeLibraryAndExitThread(h,0); the mainProg.exe crashes.

    Does this makes sense?.


    DLL1 DLlMain:
    Code:
    HINSTANCE h;
    
    BOOL WINAPI DllMain(
        HINSTANCE hinstDLL,  // handle to DLL module
        DWORD fdwReason,     // reason for calling function
        LPVOID lpReserved )  // reserved
    {
        switch( fdwReason ) 
        { 
            case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
    	   h = hinstDLL;
                break;
    
            case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
                break;
    
            case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
                break;
    
            case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
    	    FreeLibraryAndExitThread(h,0);
                break;
        }
        return TRUE;
    }

    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS.

    Re: calling program crash

    please see the "DLL1 DLlMain:" above:

    Have a mainProg.exe that calls DLL1 (C++ DLL, no user/worker thread created) and DLL1 calls DLL2 (MFC DLL). Have no access to DLL2 code.

    DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH is called once.
    Without FreeLibraryAndExitThread(h,0); the mainProg.exe crashes and with FreeLibraryAndExitThread(h,0); the mainProg.exe upon exit , its process remains running. What is an alternative to avoid crash and quit the process cleanly?.

    Re: calling program crash

    looking for a way to handle the "case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:" in DLL1 so that mainProg exits gracefully. MainProg upon exit does not crash and its process stops running.
