MySQLUDF development application on Windows _ MySQL

The MySQLUDF development application on Windows used to submit a BUG report that MySQL of Windows had a bug that could not use UDF. However, it seems that I was wrong. the MySQL technical support staff gave me a perfect answer and shared it with everyone. Below is the original reply.
　　
Hello, User. Sorry, this is not a bug. Next I will paste a simple example previously made for a customer. assume that you have VC ++, source code distribution, and a running MySQL server.
　　
I will create a UDF with a name:
　　
Note: The example is very simple, so that you can understand how to handle the UDF at hand.
　　
-Open the mysqld. dsw workspace.
　　
-Add a new project to this workspace.
　　
-Project name: my_udf // Project name: my_udf
　　
-Select Win32 Dynamic-Link Library // Win32 Dynamic connection Library
　　
-Click OK.
　　
-Select An Empty DLL project // An Empty DLL project
　　
-Click Finish.
　　
-Click OK.
　　
-Add the new file my_udf.cpp to the project:
　　
# Include
　　
# Include
　　
# Include
　　
Extern "C "{
　　
Char * my_name (UDF_INIT * initid, UDF_ARGS * args, char * is_null,
　　
Char * error );
　　
// Compatible with C
　　
}
　　
Char * my_name (UDF_INIT * initid, UDF_ARGS * args, char * is_null,
　　
Char * error)
　　
{
　　
Char * me = "my name ";
　　
Return me;
　　
// Call this UDF to return my name
　　
}
　　
-Press Ctrl + N to create a new file.
　　
-Select the text type.
　　
-File name: my_udf.def file: // File name: my_udf.def
　　
-Edit the file according to the following content.
　　
LIBRARY UDF_EXAMPLE
　　
DESCRIPTION 'example Using UDF with VC ++'
　　
VERSION 1.0:
　　
EXPORTS
　　
My_name
　　
-Right-click the my_udf project and select Settings
　　
-Click the C/C ++ tab.
　　
-Select General
　　
-Add the macro HAVE_DLOPE to the pre-processor definition.
　　
-Select Preprocessor.
　　
-Add the header file path: Additional Include directories
　　
Example: ../include
　　
-Press F7 to compile it into a DLL.
　　
-Copy my_udf.dll to the directory defined by the environment variable path.
　　
For example,/winnt/system32.
　　
-Open the mysql client.
　　
C:/mysql-udf/bin> mysql-uroot-p
　　
Enter password:
　　
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with; or/g.
　　
Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 3.23.52-max-nt
　　
Type 'help; 'or'/h' for help. type'/C' to clear the buffer.

The following is the original reply from MySQL technical support:
　　
Sorry this isn' t a bug.
　　
Below I pasted a sample I did sometime ago for another user:
　　
OK. Assuming you have VC ++ and the source distribution and a server
　　
Running,
　　
I will create a UDF that returns a name:
　　
Note: the sample is Uugly, but the purpose here is to show you how
　　
To handle the UDF.
　　
-Open the mysqld. dsw workspace.
　　
-Add New project to the workspace
　　
-Project name: my_udf
　　
-Select Win32 Dynamic-Link Library
　　
-Click OK
　　
-Select An Empty DLL project
　　
-Click Finish
　　
-Click OK
　　
-Add a new file called my_udf.cpp to the project:
　　
# Include
　　
# Include
　　
# Include
　　
Extern "C "{
　　
Char * my_name (UDF_INIT * initid, UDF_ARGS * args, char * is_null,
　　
Char * error );
　　
}
　　
Char * my_name (UDF_INIT * initid, UDF_ARGS * args, char * is_null,
　　
Char * error)
　　
{
　　
Char * me = "my name ";
　　
Return me;
　　
}
　　
-Type Ctrl + N for to create a new file.
　　
-Select text type
　　
-File name: my_udf.def
　　
-Edit the above file with the below contents:

E. g:.../include
　　
-Press F7 for to build the DLL.
