64bit compiled program doesn't work under Win8

[Lupo73 10]

The 64bit version of a program I'm developing no longer works under Win8 64bit after the last update (one of the changes is the use of AutoIt 3.3.9.21 to fix a FTP issue).

The 32bit version works fine instead and also the previous 64bit version (compiled with AutoIt 3.3.8.1).

 

I'm not sure the problem is the beta version of AutoIt, but after some tests of a collaborator, I found where the code stops to work (and is a part not changed with the update). In one of these lines:

Local $gBitmap, $gContext, $gIcon, $gImageHeight, $gImageWidth
$gImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile($gImageFile)
$gImageWidth = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($gImage)
$gImageHeight = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($gImage)
If $gImageWidth < 0 Or $gImageHeight < 0 Then
    Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndIf
If $gImageWidth < $gImageHeight Then
    $gImageWidth = $gWidth * $gImageWidth / $gImageHeight
    $gImageHeight = $gHeight
Else
    $gImageHeight = $gHeight * $gImageHeight / $gImageWidth
    $gImageWidth = $gWidth
EndIf
$gBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0($gWidth, $gHeight)
$gContext = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($gBitmap)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($gContext, $gImage, 0, 0, $gWidth, $gHeight)
$gIcon = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($gBitmap)
_GUICtrlMenu_SetItemBmp($gHandle, $gIndex, $gIcon)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($gContext)
_GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($gBitmap)
_GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($gImage)

An user that help me with tests reported also this event log (even if I'm not sure how it could helps):

Thanks for your help!

After more tests, the result is that the crash occurs with _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext() function.

Are there changes in this function from AutoIt 3.3.8.1 to 3.3.9.21? Or maybe a problem in _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0() function under Win8 64bit. Thanks for the help.

Some new functions that are added to GDIPlus.au3 aren't x64 aware. For example _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0. That's where your problem very likely is.

You can manually change last param for DllCall to "ptr*" instead of current "int*".

It is always a good idea to make error checks when using functions from the new GDIPlus.au3

Local $gBitmap, $gContext, $gIcon, $gImageHeight, $gImageWidth
$gImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile($gImageFile)
ConsoleWrite("Error: " & @error & ", $gImage: & " & $gImage & @LF)
$gImageWidth = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($gImage)
$gImageHeight = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($gImage)
If $gImageWidth < 0 Or $gImageHeight < 0 Then
    Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndIf
If $gImageWidth < $gImageHeight Then
    $gImageWidth = $gWidth * $gImageWidth / $gImageHeight
    $gImageHeight = $gHeight
Else
    $gImageHeight = $gHeight * $gImageHeight / $gImageWidth
    $gImageWidth = $gWidth
EndIf
$gBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0($gWidth, $gHeight)
ConsoleWrite("Error: " & @error & ", $gBitmap: & " & $gBitmap & @LF)
$gContext = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($gBitmap)
ConsoleWrite("Error: " & @error & ", $gContext: & " & $gContext & @LF)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($gContext, $gImage, 0, 0, $gWidth, $gHeight)
$gIcon = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($gBitmap)
_GUICtrlMenu_SetItemBmp($gHandle, $gIndex, $gIcon)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($gContext)
_GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($gBitmap)
_GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($gImage)

If error is 0 but return value is 0 or -1 then something went wrong.

I will check the new GDIPlus examples in my Win8.1 x64 environment.

Thanks for the help, I'll do more tests (unfortunately I don't have win8 64bit, so I have to ask tests to my users).

[UEZ 1,265]

I hope in the next beta release all issues running the code as x64 in a Win8 environment are solved. We made several modifications to the functions and examples.

I replaced "ptr*" instead of "int*" and now it works, thanks!

[Lupo73 10]

Still problems. Now my program works, but crashes using some features. I'm starting new tests. Is there a list of already known issues that will be fixed in next beta release? Thanks!

[UEZ 1,265]

Following functions have been fixed (running code as x64):

• _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromResource -> icon cannot be extracted from taskmgr.exe
• _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0 -> crashing needs modification -> "int*" to "handle*" or "ptr*"
• _GDIPlus_BitmapLockBits example not working because of _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0 bug
• _GDIPlus_ColorMatrixCreate -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ColorMatrixCreateGrayScale -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ColorMatrixCreateNegative -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ColorMatrixCreateSaturation  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ColorMatrixCreateScale  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ColorMatrixCreateTranslate  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect ->  crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_HICONCreateFromBitmap example not working because of _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0 bug
• _GDIPlus_ImageAttributesCreate  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ImageAttributesDispose  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ImageAttributesSetColorKeys  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect function
• _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromStream  -> crashing on _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage function -> JPG not compressed
• _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToStream  -> not working properly (no JPG compression)
• _WinAPI_BitBlt example not working because of _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0 bug

Maybe also some more.
