This is how I have my export function declared at the moment:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)
Iexport_class* __stdcall GetExported_Class();
When VS2008 compiled the source for this, the dll produced contains this under its export table:
_GetExported_Class@0
For compatibility with other compilers I need the above decoration to look like this instead:
GetExported_Class
Changing the calling convention to __cdecl will decorate it to the way I want but the convention would be wrong so I can't use that. I need it to be decorated the way __cdecl looks but uses __stdcall instead.
Is there anyway to do this without using a .def file? Is there a switch or an option I can pass to the link.exe linker that can make it decorate the export name to the way I want?
Thanks
No. All __stdcall names are decorated this way. I'm amazed that you have some other compiler that won't expect __stdcall exports to be decorated like this. Overriding the linker with .def is pretty much all you can do- unless you want to alter the PE file after production.
