Ugly situation

rahzan · ‎09-30-2003

The cvf DLL has a questionable routine wrapped in a execption catching c-wrapper. Is there a way to export the c-wrapper to the outside world also?

yes, another cvf "wrapper" can wrap the c-wrapper and I know how to export that, but that trick is altogether too ugly.

Will appreciate any hints.

Should be possible. Either use _declspec(dllexport) in the code (immediately after type-spec), or create a .DEF file and add it to your project:

EXPORTS
MyCWrapper = _MyCWrapper@40

where the former is exported name (as in ALIAS) and the latter is mangled name.

Thank you,
__declspec(dllexport)
is the way to go.

Jugoslav is right but indulge me, please, what do you expect to achieve by exporting the wrapper?

Ciao,

It is a means to directly calling an otherwise exported routine in the DLL (from the outside) with exception catching protection.
