I’ve read that it isn’t safe to call LoadLibrary() from DllMain [source].

But is it safe to call from the entry-point of a console application, main()? I can’t seem to find any information on this.

Thanks!

    Yes, it is safe. If you couldn’t call LoadLibrary from main you couldn’t call it from anywhere in a console process, which would be daft.

    DllMain is special because the “loader lock” is held during the call and it is called (for statically linked DLLs) before the process is fully initialized.
