Multiple random components fails with fb2k v1.4

Failed to load DLL: <some_name>.dll
Reason: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

This error message has been appearing since v1.4.  The error occurs for random components.  A component may fail load on one app startup, load and work ok on the next, fail a 3rd, etc., and it is always different components, not the same component.  How do determine the cause?

How many components do you have?

The problem description sure sounds like you are hitting the FLS slot limit with components, but with 1.4 it should be more difficult. You didn't add new components at the same time you updated to 1.4?

If you have any of my components in use make sure you update to 1.4 versions. They use dynamic C runtime linking and help reduce the FLS slot usage.

I tried to replicate issue and found that something goes wrong.
I have 1.3.17 with 90 additional components. None of components is updated to 1.4 SDK version. Everything is OK.

Then i updated fb2k to 1.4. Components are not updated yet. Everything is OK.
Then i updated all components which are presented on official site to latest version, using automatic update. So, this should decrease usage of FLS slots, right?
And now 5-8 random components are not loaded on every start of fb2k. Note that total quantity of dlls in user-components folder even decreased after update: 114 before update and 113 after update.

No, the update didn't change anything as not one of the listed components is compiled for version 1.4.

AFAIK most of kode54 components' new versions are compiled with 1.4 SDK

Yes, but they are not included in your list. For example, your list shows:

foo_gep.dll (2017-08-20 09:39:20 UTC) Game Emu Player 1.211

while the latest version in the component repository is 1.213, released on 2018-01-08.

But even this version is too old to have been compiled for foobar2000 1.4 (at least, if @kode54 didn't have access to the relevant SDK in advance).

(But maybe I'm completely wrong, if it's only necessary to recompile the components with dynamic binding and the version of the SDK doesn't matter in this case)

Re: Multiple random components fails with fb2k v1.4

It's a matter of using dynamic C runtime. As far as I know I'm the only one who has been doing that since 1.4 beta came out.

Changelog for foo_gep says that it was updated to 1.4 API 31 Dec, 2017 - https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/foo_gep/commits/vgmplay

I.e. compiling component with 1.4 SDK doesn't automatically makes it use dynamic linking?

Re: Multiple random components fails with fb2k v1.4

No, default settings are compatibility with foobar2000 v1.3 and static runtime linking so they work on said version without extra dependencies.

Re: Multiple random components fails with fb2k v1.4

So, it would be understandable if nothing changed after update. But it seems that updated components use even more FLS slots, than old versions.

Re: Multiple random components fails with fb2k v1.4

Reply #11 –
Components that used very old compiler used one FLS slot, Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 compiled components use two. Replace some of the dlls in your test setup with my 1.4 versions and you should see loading problems disappear.

Re: Multiple random components fails with fb2k v1.4

I had access to the SDK in advance, but I'm not using the latest, only an older beta. I'll probably recompile everything with a newer SDK again, but I'm not sure I want to roll out v1.4 with dynamic runtime targets as well, as that'll mean rolling out twice as many updates.

In fact, when I first started using this new SDK, I already switched to dynamic, but then was scolded for it, due to people still using 1.3, which doesn't bundle the MSVC Universal CRT.
