Can't create a Windows application that dynamically decides to use or not use redirection.

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Hi,

I'm writing an application that will propose to the user the options to use or not use allocator redirection. But I can't dynamically load the redirection dll using LoadLibary() : i get next error message

mimalloc-redirect: error: mimalloc-redirect.dll seems to be initialized after ucrtbase.dll

I know there is an environment variable that can be set to enable/disable redirection but that is not what we are looking for. all our application options are read by the application itself from a DB. but then its already too late. the redirection dll has already been loaded and redirected the mallocs.

So i was hoping to find a "dynamic" solution. Note that I was able to do this successfully with the tbb-malloc library. So the actual "rewiring" of the windows call's dynamically should in theory be possible ( i hope ) ...

Why is it that having loaded ucrtbase.dll before mimalloc-redirect.dll is an issue ? can this be solved ? can i help with that ?

Thanks a lot, Karel.

Start with the Windows LoadLibrary path and the mimalloc-redirect.dll error about initialization after ucrtbase.dll. Investigate whether redirection can be selected after the application reads its database options, and compare that behavior with the environment-variable approach described in the issue. Done means a confirmed supported solution or a clearly documented limitation.
