Empty general purpose plug-in project.

[Kaboon]

This is what an empty general purpose plug-in for Winamp 2 (or Winamp5) should look like. Please note that the code is written in C.

gen_empty.h

code:
#ifndef gen_empty_h 

#define gen_empty_h

#include <windows.h> 



typedef struct { 

  int version; 

  char *description; 

  int (*init)(); 

  void (*config)(); 

  void (*quit)(); 

  HWND hwndParent; 

  HINSTANCE hDllInstance; 

} winampGeneralPurposePlugin; 



#define GPPHDR_VER 0x10 



extern winampGeneralPurposePlugin *gen_plugins[256]; 

typedef winampGeneralPurposePlugin * (*winampGeneralPurposePluginGetter)(); 



#endif

gen_empty.c

code:
#include <windows.h> 

#include "gen_empty.h" 



int init(void); 

void config(void); 

void quit(void);



winampGeneralPurposePlugin plugin = {

  GPPHDR_VER,

  "MyEmpyProject vx.x (gen_empty.dll)", // Plug-in description 

  init,

  config, 

  quit,

}; 



int init() {

  MessageBox(plugin.hwndParent,"Init","",MB_OK); 

  return 0; 

} 



void config() { 

  MessageBox(plugin.hwndParent,"Config","",MB_OK); 

} 



void quit() { 

  MessageBox(0,"Quit","",MB_OK); 

} 



// do this to ensure the export isn't mangled if used in a CPP file

extern "C" {

  __declspec(dllexport) winampGeneralPurposePlugin * winampGetGeneralPurposePlugin() {

    return &plugin; 

  }

}

The project created in Bloodshed Dev-C++ (a free IDE for the C/C++ programming language) can be downloaded here:

The project created in Visual C 6 can be downloaded here:

In case you use an other compiler just add gen_empty.c and gen_empty.h to a clean .dll workspace.

Thanks go out to bananskib, baafie, KiCHiK and parksie (R.I.P.).

11-02-2004: Fixed a small bug in the zip files.

25-01-2009: Added extern "C" for winampGetGeneralPurposePlugin() as too many people are copying C code into CPP files and wondering why the plugin fails to load.
