Plugin and starting application with/without parameters

[Nicolas D.]

Hi Marco,

a very strange bug I do not understand. It happen on the 64 bits version only.

I have 2 plugins loaded in addition to the standard one:
Our internal plugin, and the Visual Studio Plugin Demo. (And that look important to have 2 in that case)

(a) If I run plsqldev.exe directly, no issue. Both plugins works.
(b) If I run plsqldev.exe userid=.... (To connect to the DB Directly), my internal plugin do not load (!). But the Demo work.

Even better, if I use my former "Relay" (the DLL I did build from Embarcadero C++ Builder to load my VS Studio plugin on v11 64 bits):

(c) If I run plsqldev.exe directly, no issue. Both plugins works.
(d) If I run plsqldev.exe userid=.... (To connect to the DB Directly), the Demo plugin do not load (!!). But my plugin work properly (as it get thru the Relay)

I did try to run with DEBUGPLUGINS to get something, but I only see that the plugin fail to load someway

Log when running case (c):

I am pretty puzzle on what could generate that.
Any idea?
For now I will keep using my relay to overcome the issue.

Marco,

sent an email to support@... with 3 copies of the VS demo plugin so you can reproduce it your end and hopefully find what is going on.

For Now I with without the relay, but with renamed Demo DLL to load before my main plugin, causing the demo to fail to load and my plugin to work. Seems to impact only the first VS Studio plugin that load, when the parameter is set. Weird.

Thanks

Marco, any update?

 

[Marco Kalter]

No, I'm not sure why this would happen.

 

[Nicolas D.]

I did hope that you could find something using the 3 demo copy I did send you in email.
Look like a sort of memory issue but hard to know.

I do not know what happen between those 2 lines of the debug
PlugIn openxxxx.dll
PlugIn loaded successfully

Maybe put a bit more of debug on next release on the reason why a DLL would fail to register as a plugin would give us a hint?

Still no luck with 12.0.2

Still have first VS plugin that won't load, so I still need to have the demo plugin loading first so it fail and let the real plugin come next and work fine.
