June 08, 2009 Creating a dynamic link library | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hello Using Windows, I created a DLL with D, and when I try to create my test executable (also with D), the ImpLib program displays an error saying that there is no any exported function. The DLL source only contains a class with the export attribute like: export class Foo { } And also... the GC can be implemented in the DLL and not in the executable? Thanks |

DON'T DO IT! There's a huge wealth of issues that come from using DLLs and D, you'd be far better off using DDL ( http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddl ). Sorry I can't give a real reason for this, I'm not a windows user so couldn't care less about DLL's not working properly :P |

For D-D shared libraries on Windows (which also work on Linux), I'd recommend checking out DDL: Documentation/homepage: http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddl Working code (fork): http://team0xf.com:8080/ext/file/94be291e4d32/ddl/ |
