[C] Winapi Call Dynamically and easily

[bugficks]

i ve never stated that this is thread safe assuming that it is is wrong.
this snippet is thought as c++ type safe replacement for original post.
i agree its not production code where youd better use some loader/lib/functor classes but thats not the purpose of these few lines and neither is original post. its rather for quick testing and only requiring copy&paste a few lines of code.

fwiw this aint thread safe either:

PHP Code:

    if(!(lib = GetModuleHandleA(library)))
        lib = _LoadLibraryA(library); 


thread X frees library in between those calls, you ll end up w/ an invalid lib handle. GetModuleHandle does NOT increase ref count.

It could be changed to GetModuleHandleEx - but there's probably no point in not calling LoadLibrary directly?
