Successive calls of SiTerminate() and SiInitialize()

Post by f.schaaf »

We recently did a change to our application (which is a dll loaded by another app), so it can be loaded and unloaded during the runtime of the host process.
Our dll creates a hwnd which receives events from the spacemouse driver, however, after unloading and reloading our dll, it stops working.
We have fixed the problem by removing the call to

Code: Select all

SiTerminate()
but this is not according to the SDK documentation, where it states:
This function must be called to shut down the 3DxWare Input Library correctly. Once the 3DxWare Input Library is shut down, use SiInitialize before calling any input functions.

Code: Select all

	DriverData() : m_isReady(SiInitialize() != SPW_DLL_LOAD_ERROR), m_device(nullptr)
	{
		LOG(debug) << "[SM] SiInitialize() -> " << m_isReady;
	}

	~DriverData()
	{
		LOG(debug) << "[SM] ~DriverData()";
		//SiTerminate(); // this line causes the undesired behaviour.
	}
Is it safe to never call SiTerminate(), or do you have any idea on how we have to change the code to have it call SiInitialize() on load, and SiTerminate() on unload?
