#dllhell

Pretty good article picturing #FrontEndHell or #JSHell similar to #DLLHell long ago

node_modules mismatch hell is the same as a Linux Package hell is the same as a Windows DLL hell. #dllhell for everybody

Woohoo! #AzureFunctions just saved me from #dllHell, can I get an hallelujah?

Is it too much to ask that the vcredist's are installed automatically??? @Microsoft #DllHell

@mwesterdahl76 Looking at the repo, it's unlikely to work on osx/linux. Qt5Gui.dll in a command line tool?? #dllhell

If you want to get an appreciation of the shitshow that is the Revit API with libraries using modern frameworks, try using Text.Json in your app and get working with Revit 2019-2023 #DllHell 🤦‍♂️

Today I solved a failing dependency issue by patching a shared object, because it felt to be the easiest way 🤷‍♀️ #DLLhell

My wife's Surface Book (UWP only) is like x1000 snappier than my SP3 with Visual Studio installed. #win32problems #dllHell #registryBloat

Если раньше был #DLLhell, то теперь это #Nugethell. Десятки проектов в решении-сотни сборок. И по каждой надо принять решение об обновлении

one of those days when everything feels broken. Just fell into this dependency black hole #dllhell #thoughtnugetwassupposetofixthis

You know when you are up the creek when you spot legacy code that doesn't include the current operating systems! #DLLHell #Windows #legacy #softwaredevelopment

Oh! Don't miss this kind of problem ... #DLLHell Dynamic Link Libraries #Windows #CrystalReports #legacy #softwaredevelopment

In the early Node/NPM days, this got crickets: "You'll get different versions of some dependencies trying to interop! It will be chaos!" Today: Storybook depends on webpack 4. If you're on webpack 5, you get 4 and 5 installed together, trying to build the same app. It is chaos.

@garybernhardt Almost like no buddy reads history. #dllhell

All #NuGet did was replace #dllhell with #nuggethell.

Do you spot the difference? Qt5gui.dll boost_filesystem-vc140-mt-1_63.dll #QtDev #cplusplus #dllhell

En los 90s los problemas en la programación venían por cosas como el #dllhell ahora la movida viene por tener mil plataformas con mis sistemas y mil problemas distintos con cada una.

The compiler told me some assembly versions were mismatched and I would need to write a “binding redirects” file. So I deleted the project and started over. #dllhell

@thecodinglove This exact thing happened to me today! #DLLHell #DLLConflicts #UAT #ExclamationPoint 😂😆😂

shared libraries and dynamic linking

@b0rk This calls back to an earlier comic you wrote/drew. How do processes get their shared libraries? They memory-map them! And that allows the non-variable portions of those libraries to be shared by all processes using them, which saves a TON of memory over static linking.

@b0rk Dynamic libraries also allow bugs to be fixed without having to rebuild the applications. This is particularly important for security related libraries, like OpenSSL. Problems crop up, however, when incompatible API changes break applications without notice. #DLLHell

You used to be able to just create a Native GUI App in 10 seconds. No Electron, no Game Engines, no Web frameworks. Just a lean fast .EXE produced in seconds. Works on any Windows machine WITHOUT Internet connection. Software Development is actually going backwards.

@ErwinWolff @razdriz Saying that VB6 didn't compile natively because it required some dlls (which were shipped with windows anyway) is probably the craziest shit I've heard on this platform so far. Thank you! (btw, by the same logic not a single C program on Linux is compiled natively, jfyi 😉)

@tsoding @ErwinWolff @razdriz Not true. The DLLs did not ship with Windows and there was an utter version chaos known as #DLLhell.
