Hi,
I am currently trying to create an import library for
opengl32.dll. I used this command:
implib /noi /system ...
To create the import library. However, the exported symbols do
not have the at suffix (@someInt) (supposed to be _stdcall, so
translated to extern( Windows ), which expects @... suffixes).
How to I add those using implib? Or how are the import library
for the compiler created (what tool + options)?
Thanks,
Phil
I am asking this because if I compare a handmade import
library, for example kernel32.lib with the one provided with
the compiler I can see that, in the hand made one, there are no
visible @ordinal expressions for none of the exported symbols,
whereas you can find them in the one provided with the compiler.
I'd like to know why is extern( Windows ) expecting an ordinal
and how is this ordinal calculated? But this question is really
just out of pure curiousity.
A more practical question remains: how where the import library
provided with dmd created? How can I recreate the final
products, I would really like to link against opengl32.dll with
an import library.
Thank you,
Phil
Or is it strictly the linker that generate those? I am quite lost.
