If a relative path name is passed to the Windows LoadModule function,
it is applied in turn to each path in the DLL search path. For the
ivl_dlopen function, we actually want to mimic the Unix behaviour,
where a relative path is relative to the current working directory.
On systems where the KB2264107 security fix has been applied, the
CWD is excluded from the DLL search path, so we no longer get the
required behaviour. This patch reworks the ivl_dlopen function to
give the correct behaviour under Windows.
This patch also adds a flush of the stderr stream after reporting
VPI call errors. This fixes a race between the stdout and stderr
streams when running the regression tests in a MinGW shell.
The functions (malloc, free, etc.) that used to be provided in
malloc.h are now provided in cstdlib for C++ files and stdlib.h for
C files. Since we require a C99 compliant compiler it makes sense
that malloc.h is no longer needed.
This patch also modifies all the C++ files to use the <c...>
version of the standard C header files (e.g. <cstdlib> vs
<stdlib.h>). Some of the files used the C++ version and others did
not. There are still a few other header changes that could be done,
but this takes care of much of it.
Remove the #ident and $Log$ strings from all the header files and
almost all of the C/C++ source files. I think it is better to get
this done all at once, then to wait for each of the files to be
touched and edited in unrelated patches.
