Problem loading a DLL with the latest Ctx beta

I have just uploaded dynamically linked luatex and luajittex.
I hope that you can again load your lua DLL modules in a few days.
Further, standard C functions can be used in ffi without
loading a C DLL. For example, my previous example can
be changed as follows:

%
% context test.tex
%
\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula
j_1(2.387) =
\startluacode
  local ffi = require("ffi")
  ffi.cdef[[
    double _j1(double x);
  ]]
  tex.print(ffi.C._j1(2.387))
\stopluacode
\stopformula
\stoptext

Best,
Akira

great news, I'll try it in the upcoming week.

Thank you.

Hello Akira,

I tested ConTeXt run with my DLL module and all works fine.

Thank you again!

Best regards,

Lukas

Problem loading a DLL with the latest Ctx beta

[Akira Kakuto]

> How exactly do you mean to combine "ffi" and

In usual luatex, ffi needs --shell-escape, since ffi
is dangerous from the point of view of the security.
As you know, ConTeXt allows --shell-escape, so the
following works with context test.tex.

%
% context test.tex
%
\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula
j_1(2.387) =
\startluacode
  local ffi = require("ffi")
  ffi.cdef[[
    double _j1(double x);
  ]]
  local mscrt = ffi.load("msvcrt")
  tex.print(mscrt._j1(2.387))
\stopluacode
\stopformula
\stoptext

In the above example, a function _j1(x) in msvcrt.dll
is evaluated. The msvcrt.dll must be loaded as above,
because standard C library is linked statically.
The following DLLs can be used without loading,
because luatex knows them:

SHLWAPI.dll
WSOCK32.dll
USER32.dll
ADVAPI32.dll
SHELL32.dll
KERNEL32.dll
WS2_32.dll
GDI32.dll

Note that you may not be able to use "DLL Lua Modules"
in this way.  I don't know details. Try various cases.

Best,
Akira

Problem loading a DLL with the latest Ctx beta

[Akira Kakuto]

In the new lua(jit)tex, one cannot use DLL modules.
See my mail in
http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006410.html
http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006413.html

Reason:
I could not build usable binaries for the new sources by
linking dynamically lua-5.2.4 or luajit.
Thus I changed to link lua-5.2.4 etc. statically.

Best,
Akira

Re: Problem loading a DLL with the latest Ctx beta

[Procházka Lukáš Ing.]

Hello Akira,

you mention possibility of --shell-escape at
	http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006410.html.

How exactly do you mean to combine "ffi" and "--shell-escape" to work with latest ConTeXt/LuaTeX?

(I tried (rather amateurishly) to run "context --shell-escape WinTest.mkiv" - but it didn't help.)

BTW:

WinCon.dll contains some functions to print COLORED text to the console screen and enables some basic WinAPI functions (like capturing window bitmap) to Lua;
I've been using especially colored printing in combination with ConTeXt ("warnings" in magenta, "errors" in red...).

Any way to re-enable user DLL loading into ConTeXt, even in the future, would be appreciated...

Best regards,

Lukas

context doesn't use --shell-escape (control over executables happens via 
the sandbox mechanism)

- And WinText.mkiv has the following content:

----
\startluacode
   require "WinCon"
\stopluacode

Strange thing is that WonCon.dll with Ctx used to work for several years... What is the problem now?

I attached also the WinCon.dll (built with VS 2008 - Release version; zipped and ZIP renamed to PIZ).

Do I have to rebuild the WinCon.dll source?

Any answer would be appreciated...

Best regards,

Lukas

Probably an updated compiler ... after all, vs 2008 is 8 years old which 
is real old in computer times). Maybe you miss another ancient dll (can 
be checked with dll checkers).

I'm surprised that this passed the mail server.

Why not just try that?

Hans

ps. Version 1.0.5 is not official i.e. it's the ctx meeting version. 
We're at 1.0.4 now.

Maybe... But I've VS 2008 installed again on the comp I'm using now, so - at least for me - all DLLs should exist on my comp (for other comps, there is free VS 2008 Redistributable Package), so that shouldn't be a problem.

Would Ctx and LuaTeX write info about its binary architecture, so that '--version' shows "x86" or "64b", too?

Just to ensure that I'm not trying to use 32b WinCon.dll with 64b Ctx/LuaTeX...

Which compiler is used to build LuaTeX for Windows?

Best regards,

Lukas

will it retrieve OS platform or LuaTeX (= executable) platform?

OK, probably VS, but which version?

i don't know ... probably recent .. compilation of native windows 
binaries is done by akira kakuto as part of the cjk windows 
distribuition cq. tex live and the garden takes his binaries

why don't you just try to recompile?
