Help with compiling extension
(1) By anonymous on 2021-06-21 00:58:32 [link] [source]
I'm trying to compile statement_vtab from https://github.com/0x09/sqlite-statement-vtab. I've successfully compiled and run this in sqlite on Linux, but having difficulty on Win10. The following seems to successfully compile: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -shared -o statement_vtab.dll statement_vtab.c But when I try to use this (in SQLite version 3.36.0) ... .load ./statement_vtab.dll CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE temp_1 USING statement (( SELECT 1 )); The test case crashes sqlite and a message box id is displayed with a generic error message: "A problem caused the program to stop working ...". Any advice would be appreciated.

I am unable to replicate your problem when I use a 64-bit, v3.36.0 CLI shell and the exact code and gcc invocation you provide. It works just as I would expect, with a functioning temp_1 virtual table.
Are you perchance using the distributed, 32-bit CLI shell and a 64-bit DLL, with failure occurring at the .load step? If so, mixed "bitness" is your problem.

Thanks for the advice -- I got it to work. For future reference what I did was to ... 1. Open MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit terminal. 2. Download two additional packages: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-dlfcn 3. Compile a 64 bit version of sqlite CLI: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -ldl -lm -o sqlite3 shell.c sqlite3.c 4. Compile the extension: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -shared statement_vtab.c -o statement_vtab.dll Regards.
