Is there a way to skip writing the exports section and using a .def file when doing a DLL on Windows now?

And if not, will/can DIP45 allow that?

I'm no Windows expert but I think you can always export symbols using a .def file. It's simply a matter of the linker understanding .def files.

Not sure if you mean avoiding using the EXPORTS section in a .def file, or if you want to avoid using export declarations in code? (they're alternatives to each other).
