Summary: The extern keyword
Description:
It seems that the "extern" keyword is much more important than previously
thought, at least for the MSVC in connection with static libraries.
The example in the appendix demonstrates this.
Steps to Reproduce:
- build this project
- run the program => wrong output
- open the tlib_export.h file in the CMAKE_BINARY_DIR:
- change:
#ifdef TLIB_STATIC_DEFINE
# define TLIB_EXPORT
to
#ifdef TLIB_STATIC_DEFINE
# define TLIB_EXPORT extern
- build the project again
- run the program => correct results.
Additional Information:
May be one can change the GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER macro to add the extern keyword
automaticlly .
(example is taken from the ffi library)
