using ppGIF in DLL

rbuser

Hello

I'm using loading reports in my DLL in D6 update 2.
I'm using unloading DLL by myself as shown below:

finalization
if ReportDll > HINSTANCE_ERROR then FreeLibrary(ReportDll);
end.

My program hungs (CPU utilization is about 100%) when adding a module that
uses ppGIF and it doesn't when adding a module that uses ppJPEG.

I have to inform you additionally that the same problem is present when
adding ppGIF in your sample module:
$(DELPHI)\RBuilder\Demos\7. DLL\FormDLL.pas

I'm use D6 upd2 and RBE 7.02

Hi Sergey,

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue with unit 'ppGIF', but I included it only by the uses clause without accessing any code from it.
I used RB7 & D7.

RB unit ppGIF is very fast, that's why I want use one. Would You help me
with thread safe version of this unit? May I give patch from You?

Sergey,


I used the wrong unit to include 'ppGIF', now I was able to reproduce the problem.
The app is waiting for something (MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx). Probably isn't the unit thread safe.
