I have the following changes which would be good to get in the release.
Please let me know if it's acceptable and I'll send a patch against
b20-a4.
Highlights:
- dllwrap now can create DEF files on the fly by scanning the object
files on the command line. Also creates an import library if you
tell it to (via --implib or --output-lib).
- dlltool can use the LIBRARY/NAME in DEF files to supply the dll name
(instead of leaving it empty, which is annoying and error-prone).
Command line --dllname overrides the DEF file entry.
- ``dlltool --output-def <DEF> --add-stdcall-alias'' outputs aliases
without the @<n> so that GetProcAddress works without having to
supply the ordinal. It's trivial, but goes a long way in using DLLs
easier.
Example:
$ dlltool --output-def foo.def foo.o
$ cat foo.def
EXPORTS
foo AT 0 @ 1;
$ dlltool --add-stdcall-alias --output-def foo.def foo.o
$ cat foo.def
EXPORTS
foo AT 0 @ 1;
foo = foo AT 0 @ 2;
