Shiqing,
I believe changing OMPI_DECLSPEC to __declspec(dllexport) inside functions.h will allow the cxx module to build (and export the function) but will break any client using (and thus trying to import) it. OMPI_DECLSPEC should only be defined as __declspec(dllexport) while compiling the cxx module (say when libmpi_cxx_EXPORTS is defined). BTW, I also noticed that the Intel compiler has issues with the preprocessor definitions for ompi_info "OMPI_CONFIGURE_DATE=\"03:18 PM Wed 04/14/2010 \"" and "OMPI_BUILD_DATE=\"03:18 PM Wed 04/14/2010 \"". The quotes around the definitions throw it off completely. Is that something that CMake does or do you instruct CMake to do this? Both the Intel and Microsoft compiler work correctly without them.

I know a solution for this kind of problem, but it involves some code base changes, I need some time to test it. At moment, if you want to use Intel C++ compiler, the dirty solution is just changing "OMPI_DECLSPEC" in ompi/mpi/cxx/functions.h to "__declspec(dllexport)". Or you could switch to use Microsoft compiler only for this libmpi_cxx project.

It appears to me that you are trying to use a single symbol to import from the c module and export from cxx module at the same time.
