Building C++ library DLL

["vincent penne" <vincent dot penne at freesbee dot fr>]

Hi all,

maybe it's not the correct list where to ask for since my problem is GCC related, but I try anyway.

 

With Microst Visual C++ it is possible to write something like

 

class __declspec(dllexport) foo {

    static int foo_var;

 

    void foo_function();

}

 

This will export the function and the static variable without need to put the __declspec(dllexport) on every line of the class definition.

 

When using the library, one can write

 

class __declspec(dllimport) foo {

 ...

 

My question : Is it supposed to work with GCC too ? If not, are there any plans to implement such a nice feature ? This make porting of C++ library to windows a lot more easy, since there is a lot less __declspec directive to put in the header files ...
