About the multihook
branch
This branch supports hooking the same function from multiple instances of MinHook, as well as hooking the same function more than once from a single MinHook instance. In addition to the new enhancements, it has a couple of new limitations:
- The original function pointer, returned from
MH_CreateHook
, can only be called when the hook is enabled. - The
MH_Initialize
,MH_Uninitialize
functions are not thread safe anymore. - A mutex object is used for synchronization, and thus a new error code was introduced,
MH_ERROR_MUTEX_FAILURE
.
You can see a simple demo here.

-
v1.3-beta3 - 31 Jul 2014
- Fixed some small bugs.
- Improved the memory management.
-
v1.3-beta2 - 21 Jul 2014

- Rewrote in plain C to reduce the footprint and memory usage. (suggested by Andrey Unis)
- Simplified the overall code base to make it more readable and maintainable.
- Changed the license from 3-clause to 2-clause BSD License.
-
v1.2 - 28 Sep 2013
- Removed boost dependency (jarredholman).
- Fixed a small bug in the GetRelativeBranchDestination function (pillbug99).
- Added the
MH_RemoveHook
function, which removes a hook created with theMH_CreateHook
function. - Added the following functions to enable or disable multiple hooks in one go:
MH_QueueEnableHook
,MH_QueueDisableHook
,MH_ApplyQueued
. This is the preferred way of handling multiple hooks as every call toMH_EnableHook
orMH_DisableHook
suspends and resumes all threads. - Made the functions
MH_EnableHook
andMH_DisableHook
enable/disable all created hooks when theMH_ALL_HOOKS
parameter is passed. This, too, is an efficient way of handling multiple hooks. - If the target function is too small to be patched with a jump, MinHook tries to place the jump above the function. If that fails as well, the
MH_CreateHook
function returnsMH_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION
. This fixes an issue of hooking the LoadLibraryExW function on Windows 7 x64 (reported by Obble).
-
v1.1 - 26 Nov 2009
- Changed the interface to create a hook and a trampoline function in one go to prevent the detour function from being called before the trampoline function is created. (reported by xliqz)
- Shortened the function names from
MinHook_*
toMH_*
to make them handier.
-
v1.0 - 22 Nov 2009
- Initial release.
Building MinHook - Using vcpkg
You can download and install MinHook using the vcpkg dependency manager:
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install
.\vcpkg\vcpkg install minhook
The MinHook port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.
