Question

I would like to call a method from an dll, but i don’t have the source neither the header file. I tried to use the dumpbin /exports to see the name of the method, but i can found the methods signature?

Is there any way to call this method?

Thanks,

It is possible to figure out a C function signature by analysing beginnig of its disassembly. The function arguments will be on the stack and the function will do some ‘pops’ to read them in reverse order. You will not find the argument names, but you should be able to find out their number and the types. Things may get more difficult with return value – it may be via ‘eax’ register or via a special pointer passed to the function as the last pseudo-argument (on the top of the stack).
