dll loading trouble

[ldynasa]

Here I've got a dll written in C downloaded from the internet. The library is successfully loaded in Qt, functions resolved. But calling these methods causes the app to crash with "Segmentation fault". Besides, I've built a C# project in VS08 and loaded the library. Everything works again.

Here's the code:
1.dll library:

void fdlib_detectfaces(unsigned char *imagedata, int imagewidth, int imageheight, int threshold);

2.Qt app:

ushort graydata[10*10];
QLibrary mylib("\\fdlib.dll");
bool okLoad = mylib.load();
bool loaded = mylib.isLoaded();
typedef void (*FdetectFace)(ushort*,int,int,int);
FdetectFace detectFace = (FdetectFace)mylib.resolve("fdlib_detectfaces");
 
//app crashes here
detectFace(&graydata[0],10,10,0);

ushort graydata[10*10];
QLibrary mylib("\\fdlib.dll");
bool okLoad = mylib.load();
bool loaded = mylib.isLoaded();
typedef void (*FdetectFace)(ushort*,int,int,int);
FdetectFace detectFace = (FdetectFace)mylib.resolve("fdlib_detectfaces");

//app crashes here
detectFace(&graydata[0],10,10,0);

3.C# implementation:

[DllImport("fdlib.dll")]

unsafe public static extern void fdlib_detectfaces(ushort*data,int w,int h,int threshold);
 
public static void TestFace()
        {
            unsafe
            {
                UInt16[] image = new ushort[10 * 10];
                fixed (ushort* ptr = &image[0])
                {
                    fdlib_detectfaces(ptr, 10, 10, 0);
                }
            }
        }

unsafe public static extern void fdlib_detectfaces(ushort*data,int w,int h,int threshold);

public static void TestFace()
        {
            unsafe
            {
                UInt16[] image = new ushort[10 * 10];
                fixed (ushort* ptr = &image[0])
                {
                    fdlib_detectfaces(ptr, 10, 10, 0);
                }
            }
        }

see comments in code:

ushort *graydata = NULL; //[10*10]; no need to initialize since detecFaces allocates the memory. 
QLibrary mylib("\\fdlib.dll");
bool okLoad = mylib.load();
//You should really check for errors!
if(!okLoad){
 //handle error
return;
}
bool loaded = mylib.isLoaded();
if(!loaded){
//TDOD: handle error
return;
}
typedef void (*FdetectFace)(ushort*,int,int,int);
FdetectFace detectFace = (FdetectFace)mylib.resolve("fdlib_detectfaces");
if(detectFace ){
  //app crashes here
  detectFace(graydata,10,10,0);
}
 
//at some point you should release the data allocted in detectFace:
if(graydata)
 delete graydata;

Thanx for the reply!
I've checked the loading status in the debug session so I've omitted the checking codes.

Besides, I've updated the last part to avoid confusion

Again, your detectFace function does nothing except call its self endlessly - that is why it is crashing.
