ID Number: Q75189
1.10
OS/2
Summary:
Problem ID: PRSQL9108001
SYMPTOMS
When compiling a DB-LIBRARY (dblib) application with the /Gc
compiler option to use the Pascal calling convention, the linker
returns the following errors:
error L2029: 'DBERRHANDLE' : unresolved external
error L2029: 'DBMSGHANDLE' : unresolved external
CAUSE
The dberrhandle() and dbmsghandle() DB-LIBRARY functions are not
prototyped correctly for use with programs compiled with the Pascal
calling convention.
WORKAROUND
If possible, do not compile the application with the /Gc switch. If
that is not possible, modify the SQLDB.H header file shipped with
DB-LIBRARY.
Change the following two lines
extern INT (API *dberrhandle( INT (API *)(parameters...)))();
extern INT (API *dbmsghandle( INT (API *)(parameters...)))();
to read as follows:
extern INT (API * cdecl dberrhandle( INT (API *)(parameters...)))();
extern INT (API * cdecl dbmsghandle( INT (API *)(parameters...)))();
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DB-LIBRARY version
1.16. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
