I''d like to keep myself from writing mangled function names to a def file manually so I wonder if there''s a tool to do that.

If you''re using MSVC you can do it right in the source file by using the __declspec compiler directive. To export a symbol (function or variable) stick __declspec (dllexport) in front of the declaration like so:

int __declspec (dllexport) MyFunc (int poo);

This will create a .lib file when linking. You can either dynamically link at runtime or statically link to the .dll at compile-time. That however is a different topic and I assume you know that.

btw, you can import symbols from a .dll by declaring them with __declspec (dllimport).

Borland might have similar constructs, but I do not know them.

Adieu.
