This stupid binary dll isnt working...

First off im a total newbie when it comes to C++, but i was making a binary functions dll in C++ and well it only returns '0' back to me.

Code:

//Define export macro
#define export extern "C" __declspec( dllexport )

//Headers
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

ifstream::pos_type size; //Size of file
char * memblock; //Memory "Storage"
char * pEnd; //End char
double ret; //Variable helps with conversion

export double readFile(PCHAR filepath)
{
       ifstream file (filepath, ios::in|ios::binary|ios::ate);
       if (file.is_open())
       {
                          size = file.tellg();
                          memblock = new char [size];
                          file.seekg (0, ios::beg);
                          file.read (memblock, size);
                          file.close();
                          
                          ret = strtod(memblock,&pEnd); //Damnit! Now to convert :(
                          return ret; //Return PLEASE! lol
       }else{
             return 0;
       }
}

The program i use ONLY accepts double and null arguments to be passed back and forth through the dll, so i had to convert the file's binary data into 'double' but like i said i only get '0' in return...

So can anyone help with this? Im pretty sure its the dll thats causing the problem, but im not sure.

Thanks,

According to this, strtod() has 3 parameters and you only pass it two.
My guess is that it barfs on the garbage pointer just lying around on the stack.

Didn't your compiler issue any kind of warning for this, or did you just ignore the warnings.
Oh wait, it can't tell you anything because you didn't include all the proper header files.

> memblock = new char [size];
You need to delete this as well.

I also can't see a reason why all your vars are global.
