Imported when an executable or dynamic library that uses theĭynamic library is built. With most Windows toolsets, in order for a symbol defined in a dynamic library to beĪvailable to code which uses the dynamically library, it must be explicitlyĮxported when the dynamic library is built and It also makesīuilding and using dynamic libraries more complex, however.

Library’s public interface, and it often provides superior performance. Being able to determine which symbols should be visible on a case-by-caseīasis is generally advantageous it gives a programmer more explicit control of his Some platforms, all such symbols are automatically accessible to code which uses aĭynamic library other systems offer programmers fine-grained control over which symbols areĪccessible. This will generate the import library libgeorgeringo.lib.ĭynamic libraries can contain the definitions of classes, functions, and data. Finally, enter the command: > implib -c libgeorgeringo.lib libgeorgeringo.dll This will generate the dynamic library libgeorgeringo.dll. Next,Įnter the command: > bcc32 -q -WD -WR -elibgeorgeringo.dll george.obj ringo.obj georgeringo.obj These three commands will generate the objectįiles george.obj, ringo.obj, and georgeringo.obj. The compiler option -WR is used here to specify aĭynamic variant of the runtime library. > bcc32 -c -q -WR -DGERORGERINGO_DLL -o georgeringo.obj georgeringo.cpp However, and expects it to be implemented for some Unix platforms - including Linux - byįor example, to compile the source files from Example 1-2 into object files with the Borland compiler, assuming that theĭirectory containing the Borland tools is in your PATH,Ĭhange to the directory georgeringo and enter theįollowing commands: > bcc32 -c -q -WR -o george.obj george.cpp Comeau Computing is currently working on dynamic library support, Libgeorgeringo.dll george.obj ringo.obj georgeringo.obj user32.libĪs of September 2005, the Comeau toolset does not support building dynamic libraries Ringo.obj georgeringo.objimplib -c libgeorgeringo.lib Mwld -shared -export pragma -o libgeorgeringo.dylib george.o ringo.oīcc32 -q -WD -WR -elibgeorgeringo.dll george.obj Libgeorgeringo.dll -implib libgeorgeringo.lib george.obj ringo.obj Mwld -shared -export dllexport -runtime dm -o George.o ringo.o georgeringo.o georgeringo.obj G++ -shared -fPIC -lrt -o libgeorgeringo.so Xilink -nologo -dll -out:libgeorgeringo.dll
