Reflective loading?

Open JohnScience opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

Hi, I've just published reflective_pe_dll_loader and decided to share this piece of news with you. I don't know if you want to one day support reflective loading but you can salvage some of my code for implementation of reflective loading on Windows.

That's very interesting, thank you. Do you handle linking at all, or is this limited to dependency-free code?

@nagisa

It does support implicit linking but I don't know how to support delay-loaded DLLs.

This article seems to implement the same approach and it mentions the limitations: https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/430684/Loading-Win-DLLs-manually-without-LoadLibrary

In the comment section, there is useful advice on how to circumvent those.
