The default windows API functions to load external libraries into a program
|
|
(LoadLibrary, LoadLibraryEx) only work with files on the filesystem. It's
|
|
therefore impossible to load a DLL from memory.
|
|
|
|
But sometimes, you need exactly this functionality (e.g. you don't want to
|
|
distribute a lot of files or want to make disassembling harder). Common
|
|
workarounds for this problems are to write the DLL into a temporary file
|
|
first and import it from there. When the program terminates, the temporary
|
|
file gets deleted.
|
|
|
|
MemoryModule is a library that can be used to load a DLL completely from
|
|
memory - without storing on the disk first.
|
|
|
|
See doc/readme.txt for more informations about the format of a DLL file and
|
|
a tutorial how they can be loaded directly.
