Hi, Trying to link sqlite object file generated by visual c++ command-line compiler(cl.exe sqlite3.c /c) with the Delphi 64 bit executable, I encountered that some functions by windows api used by sqlite contains "___imp_" prefix (total: 7). This happened since recent delphi 64 bit compilers accept COFF format files but probably lack some assumptions about semantics so doesn't automatically interprets such symbols as imported function names.
The examples of imp-prefixed functions are __imp_EnterCriticalSection __imp_InitializeCriticalSection All the other windows api imported function is linked without problems and they don't have a prefix in the symbol table of the obj file. I tried to compare the first appearances of normal and imp-prefixed functions in the sqlite3.c. The normal ones are usually part of win_syscall structure, while imp-prefixed appears randomly inside win*** functions, for example EnterCriticalSection in winMutexEnter. I will probably fix this by making special imported entries containing this prefix, but just wonder why Visual c++ compiler interprets some windows symbols as strict dll-imported entries and some as general external symbols.
