From: ron@mossbayeng.com (Ron Aaron) Subject: exporting structs from DLL using mingw32/egcs 1.1 -- doesn't work 21 Oct 1998 10:04:23 -0700 Message-ID: <001c01bdfcb0$303f7270$0600000a.cygnus.gnu-win32@mbe> References: <19981020102053.E6189@dgii.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: , I am trying to export data from a DLL, where the variable in question is a struct. So I have in my DLL: __declspec(dllexport) struct joebob myvar; and in the file which uses is: __declspec(dllimport) struct joebob myvar; But the mingw32/egcs 1.1 compiler complains that there is a declaration conflict between the two. Now, if I change this to 'struct joebob * myvar' in both places, it works just fine. My problem is that this is someone else's code, and it compiles and runs fine with the Borland C compiler, and changing the dozen or so instances of this sort of thing would involve a *lot* of #ifdef's in the code, which I studiously wish to avoid. Is this an issue which will be repaired? That is, will I be able to export data larger than int's at some point (or how can I do it now)?
