Attempting to head off a problem at the pass... When using gcc -shared, what is default output (ie. what is expected from gcc - shared in order to read the .dlls/shared files) by Cygwin? Second question: If g++ -shared is used will the output .dll/shared files be loadable and/or useable by Win32 api? Finally, I realize that if g++ -shared, if used, is likely going to generate name mangled .dlls that can not be read/loaded properly by the win32api. Is that still true for Cygwin?
