July 24, 2001 Going to create a tool for importing libs | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I try to create a tool that helps creating the right .def files for DLL. this is thought so sc xxxx.c > imp.def then my tool will remove all error messages but not the import names with @x then it adds EXPORTS to first line of imp.def you must enter the names of dlls that are needed in the imp.def file manually. perhaps someone has a good idea for doing this automaticially stay tuned perhaps i manage it or i will never sleep well |

That's not correct. We MUST add these @x suffixes to the .def files as M$
semms to have them cut out of the dll. Bad M$. I still don't know why C++
needs these suffixes. Thes suffixes stand for the total ammount of bytes
that are used by parameters.
@0 means this function has no parameters
@4 means this function has 4 bytes of parameters (2 WORDS or 1 DWORD)
I even believe that these informations ARE in the dll. You only need to fund them.
Best regards

When we arrive at a means to get this info, we can automate it! In fact adding @x to .def files is even easier. .

Don't know if the object file formats are compatible, but the mingw compiler has some tools for creating .def files from standard DLLs. For more information, check pexports at http://www.is.lg.ua/~paul/devel/binutils.html and impdef at http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/6162/impdef.zip Hope this is useful.
