struct __declspec(dllexport) A
{
  void f()
  { }
  // no code is generated for A::f()

  void g();
};

void A::g()
{ }


struct __declspec(dllimport) B
{
  void f()
  { }

  void g();
};


int main()
{
  B b;

  b.f();
  // but this one tries to call the dllimported B::f

  b.g();
}


I am afraid this behaviour leads to some undefined references when trying to use DLLs with inline defined methods.

I guess dllexport should always generate code for methods and dllimport should probably use the definition of the method if one is available.
