Dlluminator -- Win64 Memory DLL Loader

Load Win64 DLLs directly from memory. Generate Delphi import units from C headers. No filesystem dependency, no separate DLL files to distribute.

Highlights

• Memory DLL loading -- load Win64 DLLs from byte arrays, embedded resources, or memory streams. Standard GetProcAddress and FreeLibrary work as normal after loading.
• Cross-DLL dependency resolution -- load multiple interdependent DLLs from memory (e.g. sdl3_image.dll importing from sdl3.dll) with automatic topological ordering. Register DLLs in any order, call LoadAll, dependencies resolve themselves.
• CImporter -- converts C header files into complete Delphi import units. Preprocesses with tinycc, parses structs/enums/unions/typedefs/functions/constants, and generates .pas units with typed function pointers, .rc resource scripts, and compiled .RES files embedding the DLL binary.
• Windows 11 24H2+ compatible -- works around internal loader changes in build 26200+ using LdrGetDllHandle and LdrLoadDll hooks, LdrpHashTable re-linking, and NtQueryVirtualMemory/NtManageHotPatch hooks.
• Generated imports included -- ready-to-use Delphi bindings for raylib, SDL3, SDL3_image, and SDL3_mixer with embedded DLL resources. Add the unit to your project and call C functions directly.

Quick start (memory loading):

uses Dlluminator;

var H: THandle;
begin
  H := Dlluminator.LoadLibrary(MyDllPtr, MyDllSize);
  MyFunc := GetProcAddress(H, 'MyFunction');
  // ...
  FreeLibrary(H);
end;

Quick start (CImporter):

uses Dlluminator.CImporter;

var LImporter: TDlmCImporter;
begin
  LImporter := TDlmCImporter.Create();
  LImporter.SetModuleName('raylib');
  LImporter.SetDllName('raylib');
  LImporter.SetDllPath('..\libs\raylib\bin\raylib.dll');
  LImporter.SetOutputPath('..\imports');
  LImporter.AddIncludePath('..\libs\raylib\include');
  LImporter.SetHeader('..\libs\raylib\include\raylib.h');
  LImporter.Process();
  LImporter.Free();
end;

Requirements: Windows 10/11 x64. Building from source requires Delphi 12.3. The tinycc binaries are included in the release archive and are required for CImporter functionality.
