The idea is that the first time you call our stub function, it does call LoadProcAddress. Then it rewrites the stub to simply jump to the new address, and jumps back to the stub! The second time the stub is called, it has nothing but the jump in it. You can't just call the function, because you don't know what the parameters look like (well, we do, but it's not automatic like the jmp is, and jmp is faster). -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
