Question about parent import list and missing dependencies with g++

Open CCCristian opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hello, I am using v1.9 of Dependencies and launching DependenciesGui. I seem to be having 2 issues:

  1. the parent import list: should it be the same as with the old depends.exe? I am selecting the top dll from the tree view (the opened dll) and the parent import list is not empty. I have searched and found https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/issues/15, but I can't tell if it the same problem or not. I cannot even understand what this parent import list should display here (in depends.exe it's all clear).
  2. The program does not display dependencies for binaries compiled with g++? If I compile with msvc, they do show up, but g++-compiled binaries do not list (my) g++-compiled dll dependencies. I thought this might be a compiler thing, but depends.exe does show them.

Hello,

  1. Yes, it's the same import style as for depends.exe except for the top dll. I kept in the old style since I believed it was an additionnal information. Sorry if it's confusing to you, you're the first one to bring out this issue.

  2. Interesting, do you have an example to showcase this problem ? I'm always on the lookout for new testcases for my regression suite.

I apologize for the late reply, but due to work and what is mentioned next, I have not had the time to reply with a clear testcase.

I have tried to strip the example I used for issue 2), but I have been unable to reproduce it on the stripped test case. I have stripped the former example to see what the problem could be and now I cannot reproduce it with the original example. I am quite confident about the issue, though, I have tested multiple times just to be sure of it. I may return here in the future with a test case, but right now, I have nothing to present. So I apologize for wasting your time.

Thank you for the reply, though, have a nice day.
