Dynamic Link Libraries

[zemtex]

Hi there.

I prefer ordinal values before string names when loading functions inside of a dll because it requires less code and data. But are ordinal values safe or are they endangered of change in future release of the dll?

Can we trust microsoft's usage of ordinals in system dll's?

They certainly will not change in 32 bit as its at the end of its development but I would be surprised if Microsoft would change the ordinal system as they use it regularly in many types of system DLLs.
