Title: Is polib.exe v 6 working correctly
Post by: TimoVJL on May 08, 2009, 12:28:47 PM

Is polib.exe v 6 working correctly ?
If i make library from \PellesC\bin\sqlite3.dll it doesn't have underscore in function names.

EDIT 2012-07-15: missed option /MACHINE:x86

Code: [Select]

polib.exe sqlite3.dll /out:sqlite3.lib /MACHINE:X86

Hi timovjl,

I can confirm the issue. The functions exported by sqlite3.lib don't have the leading underscores.

I think Pelle mentioned something like this in the thread about the v6 RC.

In some cases the exported functions are undecorated automatically.

The decoration for exported symbols has changed a bit, to try and match Microsoft better. Because of this you can get linking errors if not all modules are recompiled.

I have spent a fair amount of time revising and testing the modified import/export handling. It affects the C compiler, the assembler, the linker, and the library manager; exports can come from module-definition files, executable files, and the /EXPORT option - there are many combinations to test. AFAICT the new approach works, and matches Microsoft better. It does, however, not exactly match the previous behavior.

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm trying to get a .lib of out of SDL.dll (from www.libsdl.org) but the exported functions _don't_ get underscored. I've noticed there is an option in polib to NOT underscore functions, but I DO want them underscored and there is no switch to force that.

Oddly enough, if I create a definition file with the exported names (NOT underscored) and pass it to polib with the /DEF switch, the resultant .lib is correctly underscored.

Thank you very much for your great compiler and the time you spend in it.
