LoadLibrary from an IceBox service

Hi,

I'm trying to load a dll in the start() method of a c++ icebox service. It seems like the dll gets loaded fine.

Here's the start() method

void GameSvc::start(const string &name,
                            const Ice::CommunicatorPtr &communicator,
                            const Ice::StringSeq &)
{
    m_comm = communicator;
    m_logger = communicator->getLogger();
    m_logger->trace(__FILE__, "starting...");

    themeId = m_comm->getProperties()->getProperty("GameService.Theme.Id");
    m_logger->trace(__FILE__, "ThemeId: " + themeId);

    gameModule = LoadLibrary(TEXT("C:\\ws\\webplatform_onlineGE\\webplatform\\applications\\EgyptianRiches\\server\\Debug\\EgyptianRiches.dll"));
    if (!gameModule)
    {
        stringstream errStream;
        DWORD errCode = GetLastError();
        errStream << "Failed to load game dll: " + themeId << ", errCode: " << errCode;
        m_logger->error(errStream.str());
    }
    m_logger->trace(__FILE__, "dll loaded");

    TEST proc = (TEST)GetProcAddress(gameModule, "test");
    if (proc)
    {
        m_logger->trace(__FILE__, "calling dll function");
        (proc)();
        m_logger->trace(__FILE__, "done calling dll function");
    }
}

the dll's DllMain entry point does a cout everytime it's called. It also has test() function that gets called from the IceBox server. All the test function does is a cout. Here's the dll code

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved
					 )
{
    switch (ul_reason_for_call)
    {
    case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
        cout << "Process ATTACHED" << endl;
        break;
    case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
        cout << "Thread ATTACHED" << endl;
        break;
    case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
        cout << "Thread DETTACHED" << endl;
        break;
    case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
        cout << "Process DETACHED" << endl;
        break;
    }
    return TRUE;
}

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void test()
{
    cout << "Test called" << endl;
}

I'm trying to understand how the following output is produced.

Process ATTACHED
Thread ATTACHED
Test called
Thread ATTACHED
Svc.cpp: starting...
-- 01/06/11 16:42:14.564 CIceBoxGameServer1-GameService: src\GameSvc.cpp: ThemeId: EgyptianRiches

It seems like the logs are printed out of order in the IceBox server stdout.

I would have expected the following. I'm also not sure why the DLLMain entry point is called twice with DLL_THREAD_ATTACH reason code.

Svc.cpp: starting...
