RE: STL Containers and __declspec(export/import)

You don't want to be exporting classes with implementation details, 
anyway. Especially the STL isn't binary compatible at all between 
revisions. Could you re-formulate the interface for your exported 
class using a pure abstract base class, and export that using a 
factory function? Vtable layout is a pretty safe linkage dependency.

Cheers,

Subject: [GD-Windows] STL Containers and __declspec(export/import)


Hi, 

If you stick a STL container to a class with __declspec(export) vcc will
whine about the STL container not being declared with __declspec(export)
attribute. What I found after a bit of doc-digging was that MSDN
suggests that you explicitly instantiate the STL container with
'extern'.
