DCOM calls from thread pool threads: CoInitialize/CoUnitialize location and expensiveness?

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/06/24

Interesting takeaway from [WayBack] DCOM calls from thread pool threads

call CoInitialize* at the start, and call CoUninitialize before returning. Expensive, but necessary

File Line Count: “built-in” line count for Windows

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/06/22

Windows if full of undocumented gizmo’s, like find alternative for wc -l counting all lines in a file: [WayBack] File Line Count

Use FIND command to count file lines, store line count into a variable.
Description: Running the FIND command with option /v and empty search string will find all lines
Running the FIND command with option /c will output the line count only.
The FOR command with option /f will parse the output, the line count in this case, and the set command put the line number into the cnt variable.

Script:

1. 2. 3. 4. set file=textfile.txt set /a cnt=0 for /f %%a in ('type "%file%"^|find "" /v /c') do set /a cnt=%%a echo %file% has %cnt% lines
Script Output:
Script Output
textfile.txt has 50 lines

[WayBack] Stupid command-line trick: Counting the number of lines in stdin | The Old New Thing

Windows doesn’t come with wc,
but there’s a sneaky way to count the number of lines anyway:
some-command-that-generates-output | find /c /v ""
It is a special quirk of the find command
that the null string is treated as never matching.
The /v flag reverses the sense of the test,
so now it matches everything.
And the /c flag returns the count.

…

The reason dates back to the original MS-DOS
version of find.exe,
which according to the comments appears to have been written
in 1982.
And back then, pretty much all of MS-DOS was written in assembly
language.

c++ – DLL Load Library – Error Code 126 – Stack Overflow: use Process Monitor, search for the first NAME NOT FOUND

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/06/01

In addition to [WayBack] c++ – DLL Load Library – Error Code 126 – Stack Overflow while debugging LoadLibrary error 126

Windows dll error 126 can have many root causes. The most useful methods I have found to debug this are:

Use dependency walker to look for any obvious problems (which you have already done)

Use the sysinternals utility [WayBack] Process Monitor – Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs from Microsoft to trace all file access while your dll is trying to load. With this utility, you will see everything that that dll is trying to pull in and usually the problem can be determined from there.

Search for the first entry NAME NOT FOUND after your library is being loaded.

It indicates the module that cannot be found which indirectly causes error number 126 (ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND in [WayBack] System Error Codes (0-499) – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs ) in [WayBack] LoadLibrary:

ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND

126 (0x7E)

The specified module could not be found.

This is why I upvoted the very relevant comment:

… when I looked at the rows surrounding my dll being loaded I saw MSVCP140D.dll was giving a result of NAME NOT FOUND. Turns out the machine that couldn’t load my dll doesn’t have the ‘D’ version of MSVCP140.dll. Everything worked when I built my dll for release! – [WayBack] Pakman.

Chocolatey, MSI installers and “… was not successful. Exit code was ‘3010’. See log for possible error messages.”

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/27

For some Chocolatey installations, I got an error message like this one:

"ERROR: Running ["C:\Users\Developer\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\vmware-tools\10.3.10.12406962\VMware-tools-10.3.10-12406962-x86_64.exe" /S /v /qn REBOOT=R ] was not successful. Exit code was '3010'. See log for possible error messages."

I wish that a Chocolatey install could indicate it is msi based, and Chocolatey would convert this to a soft reboot message, as [WayBack] MsiExec.exe and InstMsi.exe Error Messages – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs indicates it means ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED:

I wanted to know the loaded DLLs in a process like Process Explorer shows, but from the console: Sysinternals ListDLLs to the rescue

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/20

In Windows, historically most people approach investigation GUI first. Having turned 50 a while ago, I am no exception.

My real roots however are on the command-line and scripting: roughly 1980s Apple DOS, CP/M, SunOS (yay sh Bourne shell!), MS-DOS, 4DOS, and VAX/VMS (yay DCL shell!), from the 1990s on, some Solaris, a little bit of AIX, HP-UX and quite a bit of Linux, MacOS (né OS/X né Mac OS), and some BSD descendants derivatives (SunOS, AIX and MacOS are based on the Berkeley Software Distribution), and this century a more growing amount of PowerShell).

So I was glad to find out the makers of Process Explorer also made [WayBack] ListDLLs – Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs (via windows get dlls loaded in process – Google Search)

List all the DLLs that are currently loaded, including where they are loaded and their version numbers.

ListDLLs is a utility that reports the DLLs loaded into processes. You can use it to list all DLLs loaded into all processes, into a specific process, or to list the processes that have a particular DLL loaded. ListDLLs can also display full version information for DLLs, including their digital signature, and can be used to scan processes for unsigned DLLs.

Usage

listdlls [-r] [-v | -u] [processname|pid]
listdlls [-r] [-v] [-d dllname]

Parameter Description

processname Dump DLLs loaded by process (partial name accepted).

pid Dump DLLs associated with the specified process id.

dllname Show only processes that have loaded the specified DLL.

-r Flag DLLs that relocated because they are not loaded at their base address.

-u Only list unsigned DLLs.

-v Show DLL version information.

Parameter	Description
processname	Dump DLLs loaded by process (partial name accepted).
pid	Dump DLLs associated with the specified process id.
dllname	Show only processes that have loaded the specified DLL.
-r	Flag DLLs that relocated because they are not loaded at their base address.
-u	Only list unsigned DLLs.
-v	Show DLL version information.

Download: [WayBack] ListDlls.zip.

Now it is much easier to generate a draft deploy list of DLLs (and for Delphi: BPLs) based on a process running on a development machine.

Example output (the -r flags relocation warnings; the first part is the [WayBack] shim that Chocolatey created around the second which is from SysInternals):

Windows DLL and EXE rebase

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/04/20

Some links on rebase for Windows DLLs and EXE files, including effects on .NET CLR.

[WayBack] $ImageBase Compiler Directive – Delphi in a Nutshell [Book]
[WayBack] How important is it nowadays to ensure that all my DLLs have non-conflicting base addresses? | The Old New Thing: Not so much, since ASLR changes it anyway.

In the presence of ASLR, rebasing your DLLs has no effect because ASLR is going to ignore your base address anyway and relocate the DLL into a location of its pseudo-random choosing.

Mind you, even though rebasing has no effect, it doesn’t hurt either.

If you are on a system without ASLR (either because it predates ASLR, or because ASLR has been disabled for whatever reason), then rebasing will help, for the traditional reasons.

Mind you, systems without ASLR are really hard to find nowadays, so rebasing provides no benefit in the overwhelming majority of cases. But in that vanishingly small percentage of cases where you don’t have ASLR, then rebasing helps.

Conclusion: It doesn’t hurt to rebase, just in case, but understand that the payoff will be extremely rare. Build your DLL with /DYNAMICBASE enabled (and with /HIGHENTROPYVA for good measure) and let ASLR do the work of ensuring that no base address collision occurs. That will cover pretty much all of the real-world scenarios. If you happen to fall into one of the very rare cases where ASLR is not available, then your program will still work. It just may run a little slower due to the relocation penalty.

Delphi use of FS segment: structured exception handling

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/03/16

A while ago, I had to trace through a lot of code in the CPU pane to track down some memory allocation related issues.

I wondered what the use of the FS segment was about, so via [Archive.is] delphi what is fs segment used for – Google Search, I found that it is related to Win32 Structured Exception handling and therefore not limited to Delphi, through these links:

A few disassembly parts to show how the Delphi Win32 compiler uses this for try finally blocks and try except blocks is below. Note that often, there are implicit try finally blocks when having managed method parameters or local variables.

Automatically closing ABBY Finereader 5.0 windows after scanning is completed

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/23

Both my Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 and ix100 scanners can be used from Windows to automatically scan to PDF.

PDF conversion is done through the included ABBYY FineReader 5.0 software.

However, on each scan, it keeps a dialog open with the scan results, even if scanning went fine.

When scanning lots of documents, lots of dialogs are open, causing two problems:

a lot of memory and window handle resource usage
- this can be ~100 megabytes per instance
a lot of disk usage:
- it keeps both the non-OCR and OCR PDF files active (only when closing, the non-OCR PDF file is deleted)

I wanted to close that dialog automatically, but none of the configuration settings allow it.

So I wrote a quick and dirty solution, that could have been in any tool supporting the Windows API and call backs. The solution below should easily translate to tools other than Delphi.

These are the only Windows API functions used:

these types:

[WayBack] hWnd
[WayBack] lParam

and these constants:

[WayBack] BM_CLICK
- Simulates the user clicking a button. This message causes the button to receive the WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP messages, and the button’s parent window to receive a BN_CLICKED notification code.
[WayBack] GW_OWNER
- [WayBack] Window Features – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs: Owned Windows
[WayBack] GWL_STYLE
- [WayBack] Window Styles – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs
[WayBack] WM_CLOSE
[WayBack] WS_EX_APPWINDOW

The basic structure is an EumWindows call passing a callback that gets called for all top level Windows, then in the callback, for matching captions: call EnumChildWindows with another callback. In that callback, for matching captions and child captions, perform a click or close.

    < ParentHWnd=$00000000;HWnd=$0003011A;IsVisible=0;IsOwned=0;IsAppWindow=0;WindowTextLength=4;WindowText="Core"

It appears that ABBYY has a different set of booleans than Creative Cloud.

This is kind of odd, as delphi – How to get captions of actual windows currently running? – Stack Overflow points to Window Features – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs: Owned Windows stating:

The Shell creates a button on the taskbar whenever an application creates a window that isn’t owned. To ensure that the window button is placed on the taskbar, create an unowned window with the WS_EX_APPWINDOW extended style. To prevent the window button from being placed on the taskbar, create the unowned window with the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW extended style. As an alternative, you can create a hidden window and make this hidden window the owner of your visible window.

Apparently, ABBYY fully plays by the rules, but Creatheive Cloud cheats a bit: none of the Windows are WS_EX_APPWINDOW, but the hidden unowned “Core” owner of the “Creative Cloud” still makes it appear on the taskbar.

Some LCID links and notes

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/10

Document locations changed, so here are some links to newer and older documentation on LCID related things:

Delphi: a few short notes on LoadString and loading shell resource strings for specific LCIDs, for which I need to check which ones have suffered from link rot.
[WayBack] MAKELCID macro | Microsoft Docs:

Creates a locale identifier from a language identifier and a sort order identifier.
- Table: [WayBack] Locale Identifiers – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs with special values:
  - 0x007F [WayBack] LOCALE_INVARIANT – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs The locale used for operating system-level functions that require consistent and locale-independent results.
  - 0x0400 [WayBack] LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs: The default locale for the user or process.
    - Delphi 2009 added support for it and names it VAR_LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT: [WayBack] VarUtils.VAR_LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT Constant
  - 0x0800 [WayBack] LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs: The default locale for the operating system.
  - [WayBack] LOCALE_CUSTOM* Constants – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs
    - 0x0C00 LOCALE_CUSTOM_DEFAULT The default custom locale.
      - When an NLS function must return a locale identifier for a supplemental locale for the current user, the function returns this value instead of LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT.
    - 0x1000 LOCALE_CUSTOM_UNSPECIFIED An unspecified custom locale, used to identify all supplemental locales except the locale for the current user.
      - Supplemental locales cannot be distinguished from one another by their locale identifiers, but can be distinguished by their locale names. Certain NLS functions can return this constant to indicate that they cannot provide a useful identifier for a particular locale.
    - 0x1400 LOCALE_CUSTOM_UI_DEFAULT The default custom locale for MUI.
      - The user preferred UI languages and the system preferred UI languages can include at most a single language that is implemented by a Language Interface Pack (LIP) and for which the language identifier corresponds to a supplemental locale. If there is such a language in a list, the constant is used to refer to that language in certain contexts.
- List: [WayBack] Language Identifiers – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs
  The following are predefined language identifiers:
  - LANG_SYSTEM_DEFAULT. The operating system default language.
  - LANG_USER_DEFAULT. The language of the current user.
- Table: [WayBack] Language Identifier Constants and Strings – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs
- Table: [WayBack] [MS-LCID]: Windows Language Code Identifier (LCID) Reference | Microsoft Docs
- Table: [WayBack] Microsoft Locale ID Values | Microsoft Docs via [WayBack] Locale ID (LCID) Chart | Microsoft Docs
- Table: [WayBack] Sort Order Identifiers – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs
- Conversion macros and their documentation in [WayBack] moflow/ntdef.h at master · Cisco-Talos/moflow · GitHub:
```
//  A locale ID is a 32 bit value which is the combination of a
//  language ID, a sort ID, and a reserved area.  The bits are

//       |   Reserved  | Sort ID |      Language ID        |

//        31         20 19     16 15                      0   bit
//
//  WARNING: This pattern isn't always followed (es-ES_tradnl vs es-ES for example)
//
//  It is recommended that applications test for locale names or actual LCIDs.
//
//  Locale ID creation/extraction macros:
//
//    MAKELCID            - construct the locale id from a language id and a sort id.
//    MAKESORTLCID        - construct the locale id from a language id, sort id, and sort version.
//    LANGIDFROMLCID      - extract the language id from a locale id.
//    SORTIDFROMLCID      - extract the sort id from a locale id.
//    SORTVERSIONFROMLCID - extract the sort version from a locale id.
//
//  Note that the LANG, SUBLANG construction is not always consistent.
//  The named locale APIs (eg GetLocaleInfoEx) are recommended.
//
//  LCIDs do not exist for all locales.

Setting and restoring the default user language:
API calls:
Saving/restoring data between locales:
- [WayBack] Using Persistent Locale Data – Windows applications | Microsoft Docs
  Using Persistent Locale Data
  
  A globalized application often persists or transmits data, for example, time and date. When deciding how your application should handle data persistence, remember that data is not guaranteed to be the same from computer to computer or between runs of the application. This is true for both locales that ship with Windows and custom locales.
  
  Design of the application must take into account a variety of locale-related data changes that can occur. For example:
  - Currency symbols can change as countries adopt the Euro.
  - Regional preferences can change. For example, the format d/m/y might change to the format m/d/y for a particular locale.
  - The spelling of day names can change due to spelling reforms. Additionally, casing can change for month or day names.
  Use Locale-Independent Formats for Storage and Data Interchange
  
  An application that persists data should use locale-independent formats for storage and data interchange. Examples are hard-coded or standard formats; the invariant locale LOCALE_NAME_INVARIANT; and binary storage formats.
  
  If persistent sorting data is required, the application must use the CompareStringOrdinal function. Remember that an invariant format does not remain invariant for sorting, only for locale and calendar data.
  
  Use the User Default Locale for Data Presentation
  
  To present persistent data, it is best for the application to reformat the data using the user default locale. Use of this locale allows user overrides. For more information, see LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT.

A few links on Raymond Chen

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/09

I linked to [WayBack] the Old New Thing a lot from my blog, but never put in a few links to the author of all those posts: Raymond Chen.

So here you go:

[WayBack] User Raymond Chen – Stack Overflow
[WayBack] Raymond Chen – Wikipedia (odd articles about him are only in a few languages there; this one is in my native Dutch language)
People have a love/hate relationship reading his blog (love because of the technical content; hate because they usually have to fix bugs described there): [WayBack] I hate reading Raymond Chen’s blog – virtualdub.org.

Recurring topics on his blog:

He is on some videos to, for instance [Archive.is] One Dev Question with Raymond Chen – Why Are There 4 Functions for Converting Strings to GUIDs | One Dev Minute | Channel 9 (the actual mp4 video file through Archive.is).

You can find many more via raymond chen site:channel9.msdn.com – Google Search
