    What is '_T' ?

    Kind all day and night! My belated congratulations to you, with the May holidays, a joyful way out into the forest and barbecue with friends and families. With a day of memory, a holiday of the greatest victory, I also congratulate. Laying flowers and a glass of vodka to fallen heroes.


    What is '_T' ?? Can not understand. Twenty minutes google.com with no result. What is this?

    Remember kids, don't post in forums while intoxicated.

    '_T' turns your string literal into a Unicode literal if you're compiling with unicode support. I don't know whether it's a standard macro or specific to any platform or compiler. For example:
    Code:
    _T("whatever") becomes:
    L"whatever" // if you support unicode
    "whatever" // if you don't

    I would guess in <windows.h>, but I don't really know.

    I guess I do not see any error.

    Code:
    // TestDLL.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
    //
    
    #include "windows.h"
    #include "iostream"
    #include "support.h"
    
    int main()
    {
        HINSTANCE hModule=NULL;
        typedef  BOOL (WINAPI MESS)(UINT);
        MESS* me=NULL;
        hModule=::LoadLibrary(_T("user32.dll"));
        if (hModule!=NULL)
        {
            me=(MESS*)::GetProcAddress((HMODULE)hModule,"MessageBeep");
            if (me!=NULL)
            {
                UINT type=1;
                BOOL result;
                result=(*me)(type);
            }
            else std::cout << "Error Load function" << std::endl;
            ::FreeLibrary(hModule);
        }
        else std::cout << "error load Dll" << std::endl;
    
    return 0;
    }

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    A simplified example of what's going on.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    #ifdef _UNICODE
    #  include <wchar.h>
    #  define _T(s)  L##s
    #  define tprintf wprintf
    #else
    #  define _T(s)  s
    #  define tprintf printf
    #endif
    
    int main() {
        tprintf(_T("hello\n"));
        return 0;
    }

    The correct answer is ... "I have no idea, unless you provide a context".

    [EDIT]

    Oh, how gross...

    Code:
    #include "windows.h"
    #include "iostream"
    #include "support.h"
    That's just wrong.

    [EDIT]

    Actually that code is just wrong. Horrid.

    Is that real code? Jesus
