    Convert c to c++

    This code was made for c (dll), but it wont compile for c++. How can I convert it?


    Code:
    DWORD ThreadID;
    int *time = (int*)0x0100579C; 
    DWORD WINAPI changeTime(LPVOID lParam) {
    while(1)
    if( *time == 6 ) { 
    *time = 100;
    sleep(1);
    }
    }
    BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HINSTANCE hDll, DWORD callReason, LPVOID lpReserved) {
     if(callReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) {
                 CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)&changeTime, 0, 0, &ThreadID);
     }   
    }

    Is there a reason it doesn't compile, or does the compiler just give up and not print any messages?

    Well if you remove "sleep(1);" it compiles. but it doesn't work (code works if its compiled in c)

    What are you using to compile for C, and what are you using to compile for C++? (Windows has a Sleep, but it doesn't have a sleep.)

    i use dev-C++ for both c and cpp, i don't need sleep for dll to work.

    You use mingw to compile, not dev c++
    goto( comeFrom() );

    So is the problem that it doesn't compile, or doesn't work? If (a) what are the errors that you get? If (b) does it crash, or not do what you want? If (b2), what does it do that it shouldn't or vice versa?

    yeah, i did, and its still not sorting right.
    For example, the two text files:

    First:
    Code:
    3I hope this works
    Second:
    Code:
    1This program is awesome
    The second text file entered should come out first, but it doesn't.

    doesn't work, when compiled in c++

    trying to use mingw but getting error "unrecognized option '-Wl,–add-stdcall-alias'"
    when trying to make .dll from .o file

    M-S-H, I have no idea what you are talking about

    ???

    So, you're saying it compiled, but didn't work as intended, but then you got a compiler error...... ? I'm lost.
    goto( comeFrom() );

    So take that option out of the command list (or make it --add-stdcall-alias which is what I think it's supposed to be).

    Sorry I wasn’t clear. I can compile this code on Dev C++ and Code blocks fine, but once I do DLL doesn’t do anything. This code only works if you compile it with C.

    MINGW gives me error when I try to compile dll (I can compile exe fine using mingw). I’m sure problem isn’t a compiler it something to do with a code when compile it on c++.

    I did lots of research on DLL injection with c++ but I’m lost since here is not good information on it.

    The code you have yields undefined behaviour, as you're writing to a specific address. That tends to make things break when you change compilers or compiler settings, let alone change languages (C to C++).

    Given that you are clearly doing a hack (I'm guessing cheating in a game or bypassing some program's registration checks), I'm guessing this thread - or your objective at any rate - is against site rules here
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.
