Message-ID: <mailman.998432370.18891.comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org> (raw)
If you have access to the DUMPBIN.exe then you can
run it against the DLL, LIB, etc. It's part of the
VC++ installation, but Aonix supplied it in the
<ObjectAda>\bin directory. Maybe DDC-I does as well.
For DLLs the command is (run from DOS console):
dumpbin /EXPORTS my.dll
It shows you the names by which the routines have been
exported. I don't remember which option works on LIB and
OBJ files. "DUMPBIN /ALL my.lib" will show you everything,
but it will be quite a bit of info. "DUMPBIN /?" will
show you the list of options.
Hope this helps.
Frank

IIRC, the C compiler mangles the name, so you must reference "_MyFunction"
or
something. I'm not sure if the name mangling is the same for different C
compilers.
