The thing is that you need dllexport in the header file when building the module, and dllimport when you're using the header file from the rest of the application. (That's not the fault of the IDE, of course, but more the Win32 platform itself. And it's most often not really an isse.)

Static or dynamic linking doesn't matter. Each module still has it's own settings. If I wan't to add a preprocessor symbol, for example, I still have to add this symbol to each module project (but not the other projects I have in my workspace). It's easy to forget one of them, if you have many.

Heh ... How about "Symbol std::fskdjl:fdsfdfsd.:fdsjh483889fds.:fsdhj...... truncated to 255 characters"? :-)

Well, at least it handles "for( int i0 ... )" and static class variables in dynamic libraries correctly. :-) (operator new in one module and delete it in another? Return a std::list from a method in a dll? Nope sorry. Man, did *those* random memory trashing errors take time to find!)
And don't get me started on <Windows.h>. Have you ever tried to name a method "GetMessage"? ;-) (It's not the fault of VC++, of course.)

Yeah, well ... Thanks. It's a shame, though. It could have been great if I had put some effort into it during the last four or five years. :-/ |
