Re: Call Ada Dll from vc

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

This sounds like a problem in your Ada runtime. It has been too many years since I looked
at Ada, but I suspect the concept of staic constructors has an equivalent. Or it could be
a failure in the initialization of the Ada runtime. Try posting this question on an Ada
newsgroup.

Note that the DllMain of the Ada DLL will be implemented before your main function, and
any static C++ constructors or constructors invoked as a consequence of static
constructors will also execute, and these could be calling your Ada runtime.

There are thousdands or hundreds of thousands of instructions that can execute before main
is called in C++. If these call the Ada DLL, they could be calling it before it is
properly initialized because initialization may require a call from your C++ code.
