How does GetProcAddress work

I've done some googling but haven't really found much. How does GetProcAddress work? What goes on behind the scenes? Do the method names and their corresponding address get stored in meta data somewhere?

Solution

  • Exactly. They are stored in DLL/EXE export header. You can see it with dumpbin.exe.
