How to create a tool header file without symbol duplication error in VC?
I am trying to write a tool header file to be used for many projects.
However, I am always getting the symbol duplication error.
I have tried to use the following trick to allow my code to be included
once:
#ifndef _HOOKENGINE_H
#define _HOOKENGINE_H
.....
[code]
#endif
However, I am still getting the multiple definition errors:
Error 1 error LNK2005: "void __cdecl MyPrintf(wchar_t const *,...)"
(?MyPrintf@@YAXPB_WZZ) already defined in HookEngine.obj dllmain.obj
Error 2 error LNK2005: "void __cdecl Test(void)" (?Test@@YAXXZ) already
defined in HookEngine.obj dllmain.obj
Error 3 fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
D:\Program\Win32\HookEngine\Debug\HookEngine.dll 1
Can anyone tell me the reason? Thanks!
