I am trying to port a DLL project from MSVC to Eclipse/MinGW. I was able to build the DLL with Eclipse/MinGW and the resulting shared library was much larger than the same library built with MSVC. I found a "MinGW C Linker" option in project properties to "Omit all symbol information (-s)" after setting this option the DLL file size reduce by almost 200KB, but it still was >100KB bigger then the MSVC version. After inspecting the DLL with the MS "Dependency Walker" utility I noticed that the DLL produced by MinGW has entry points defined for every function in the DLL, including those that don't have the following descriptor before them. #define MY_API __declspec(dllexport) I would expect that ONLY function that have MY_API before them would be defined as an entry point, but this is not the case all function are defined as entry points. How is this possible? As a side note I do not provide a *.DEF file to the linker. I tried this and it did not seem to make a difference.
