Hello, while improving and extending support for dllexport/import I have noticed that the current way these are implemented is problematic and I would like some input on how to proceed. Currently dllexport/dllimport is treated as linkage type. This conflicts with inlined functions because there is no linkage for the combination of both. On first though, combining both doesn't make sense, but

Hi Nico, Reid, and Anton, I missed the discussion when I implemented dllexport/dllimport for our local tree. I essentially implemented your approach#1. I was trying to avoid the various external_linkage + some_attribute approaches because it seems that external_linkage would imply the external linkage without the dllimport/dllexport semantics, and there may be existing compiler codes that rely on

Hi all, I am trying to use llvm-gcc to link shared libraries on windows/mingw32. When I try to link libraries that contain functions declared with __declspec(dllexport) someFunction(); I get the link error: Cannot export _someFunction: symbol not found Removing the declspec directive solves the problem, but this is not a very feasible solution for me. Using 'regular' gcc does not

If building a static library, marking symbols as dllexport causes them to be exported from the final executable. For example, run objdump -x opus_demo.exe on a --disabled-shared build and look for the export table; there should not be one in a normal Win32 .exe file, but when linking static libopus, the exe exports all of the opus_* public functions. Use the libtool-defined DLL_EXPORT flag to

The following patch changes export.h so that the dllimport/dllexport attributes work with mingw/mingw-w64 and others: - changes _declspec keyword to __declspec: the former may not be defined by some toolchains. - changes the _MSC_VER condition to universally _WIN32: MSVC, as well as GCC supports this. Attached patch: declspec.diff Regards. -- O.S. -------------- next part --------------

Right. But normally LLVM API does not provide backward

It seems that the DLL export directives for __cdecl and __stdcall functions are not correctly written in asm output. For example, when declaring a function like this: __declspec(dllexport) int __cdecl exportFunc1(int c); ASM output is: .def _exportFunc1; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef .text .globl _exportFunc1 .align 16, 0x90 _exportFunc1: movl 4(%esp), %eax ret .section
