Explicit Linking Problem

Hello;
I am trying to understand the concept of "Explicit Linking" but the following code gives the error error C2365: 'GetLogicalDrives' : redefinition; previous definition was 'function'
Other API functions such as FindFirstVolume, FindNextVolume, FindVolumeClose etc works properly.
Any ideas ?

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

DWORD (WINAPI *GetLogicalDrives) (VOID);
int main()
{
        // Load the dll
       
        HMODULE hmod;
        if((hmod = LoadLibrary(TEXT("Kernel32.dll"))))
        {
                if((GetLogicalDrives = (DWORD (WINAPI*)(VOID))GetProcAddress(hmod,"GetLogicalDrives")))
                {
                        DWORD drivesId = GetLogicalDrives();                       
                }
        }
       
        return 0;
}

There is a function called GetLogicalDrives() in winbase.h which your project probably includes. Just choose a different name.

Ah my foolishness :/

Thanks for the solution.

Besides, kernel32.dll is always loaded into any process, so you'd better use GetModuleHandle instead. :)

And once you use LoadLibrary, please don't forget to FreeLibrary as complementary action. This must become your the most basic instinct to treat resources right. :)
