Hello fellow cygwin-ites. I've recently started making more use of shared libraries under cygwin, and I would appreciate the wisdom of this discussion group on the topic of accessing global variables. I am building a dll and exporting both functions and variables. When I link my application with this dll, the symbols all get resolved but the linker treats global variables the same as functions. It binds the symbol of the global variable to a memory location containing an indirect JMP via an entry in the dll export table. This works for calling functions, but when accessing global data I have to do the address lookup manually. For example, if my global variable is called PtWindow, then in my app I have to use the following #define: #define PtWindow (*_imp__PtWindow) What is the proper way to do this, so I don't have to do the #define myself?
