Forums Bug Reports $dllcall

$dllcall seems to crash mIRC if I don't specify a 4th parameter. Try this (the dll must exist for it to work):
//echo -a $dllcall(pokemon.dll,a,b)

Yup, same thing happens here. It seems both $dllcall and $comcall have this problem. Additionally, it seems $comcall has another problem.

/comopen Excel.application
//echo -a $comcall(test,blah,Visible,3)

Next thing I know, mIRC is completely frozen and requires a ctrl+alt+del. And yes, alias blah exists (echo -a $1-) and if I do the same thing using $com, $com(test,Visible,3) it works perfectly.

And also with $dllcall, imho the alias should NOT be called if the dll didn't return anything. I have a function in a dll called DisplayWarning, it doesn't return anything to mIRC, however I wanted to use $dllcall rather than $dll so that mIRC isn't frozen until the dialog box is closed. Well I have the same blah alias above specified, and for some reason it calls that alias with the parameter being the path to the dll.

Honestly, I'm really starting to wonder, do features actually get tested when they get added to mIRC? It seems as though just about every single new feature has bugs in it. I woulda thought after a year of development, most of the bugs would have been worked out.

I´ve seen these idents mentioned in the version.txt but I can´t find them in the help file

i use thisi type ov thing to return a dll

dll $mdx bahh bahh

alias mdx { .return "path to dll" } works like a charm
