Hmm, you might be right about that. I downloaded that program and it shows
that, for example MSIMN.exe, which is Outlook Express, is dependant on
BOINC.DLL, but that it's importing KERNEL32.DLL and USER32.DLL from
BOINC.DLL.

Is it possible that the boinc dll is exporting these symbols when it
shouldn't be?

TopToBottomNT also shows that MSIMN is loading the KERNEL32 and USER32 DLLs
separately, but it's loading different functions through the separately
loaded DLLs..

Kind of weird.

I don't think that's true. "No symbols loaded" refers to the debugging

symbols.

boinc.dll is really loaded into every application's address space, but

only if

boinc_gui is running.
This can be verified by tools such as TopToBottomNT.
CTFMON does a similar thing, but I can see no reason for BOINC to do this.

I get that too, but you will also notice that it says "No symbols

loaded".

Visual Studio .NET seems to go through a whole lot of DLLs while loading

the

program in the debugger, while most of them will say "No symbols loaded"

and

only the ones used by your program will say "Symbols loaded".

There's nothing wrong with what VS is doing, but it just makes it a lot
slower to load the program when debugging.

While debugging a program I noticed the message 'C:\Program

Files\BOINC\boinc.dll loaded' in the

output pane of Visual Studio.

Needless to say that my program does not explicitely load boinc.dll.

What gives?
