Can someone please explain to me what &quot;_declspec(dllimport)&quot;, &quot;__declspec(dllexport)&quot; (both of which are just &quot;export&quot; in D) are for, what the &quot;.def&quot; files (which are supposed to be if the __declspec(whatever) are missing) are for, what is an import library and how this all makes sense.<div>
<br></div><div>I googled for it, but no clear answer.</div><div>On an example of, let&#39;s say, OpenGL32.dll, the source and object files of which are unavailable, what options there are to use it besides manually GetProcAddress-ing every function?</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is a question from someone, who has never used DLLs other then with GetProcAddress.</div><div><br></div><div>This is important for the OpenGL bindings I&#39;m making and I want to preserve the headers exactly as they are. But they contain __declspec(dllexport), which I need to understand. That&#39;s why this forum post exists.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please help!<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>Bye,<br>Gor Gyolchanyan.<br>
