Title: DEF files [SOLVED]
Post by: frankie on September 28, 2014, 10:41:55 PM

We have found some problems on DEF files behaviour.
While using the symbol name as wrote in the source exports the correctly decorated symbol, it seems not possible to export a that symbol with the same name as in source code. I.e. the following don't generates any symbol:

Code: [Select]

SampleFunction = _SampleFunction@8 ;without stdcall decorations and underscore
This DEF statement is ignored.

The exporting of forwarded symbols (as reported in the help) doesn't seem to work.
I.e:

Code: [Select]

mybeep                = kernel32._Beep@8 ;This don't work
The address is not resolved when executable is loaded and program crashes! :(
Strangely it seems to work in this way including the DLL in the linker:

Code: [Select]

mybeep                = _Beep@8

And for Win32 x86

Code: [Select]

#pragma comment(linker, "-export:MessageBoxA=user32.MessageBoxA")gives

Code: [Select]

POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol 'MessageBoxA'.
