#181 ld fails to export all dllexport'd syms

[Greg Couch]

mingw appears to be only able to export one class's
functions from a source file. Attached is example code
that demonstrates the bug. This is with the MinGW 2.0
distribution. The output I get from typing make is:

$ make
mingw32-g++ -shared -o good.dll -Wl,--out-implib,good.a
-DNO_PATHFINDER PathFind
er.cpp
Creating library file: good.a
mingw32-g++ -shared -o bad.dll -Wl,--out-implib,bad.a
PathFinder.cpp
Creating library file: bad.a
====== look in bad.a for pathFactory ======
missing!
====== look in good.a for pathFactory ======
00000000 I __imp___ZN3otf11PathFactory12pathFactory_E
00000000 I __nm___ZN3otf11PathFactory12pathFactory_E
00000000 I __imp___ZN3otf11PathFactory11pathFactoryEv
00000000 I __nm___ZN3otf11PathFactory11pathFactoryEv
00000000 T __ZN3otf11PathFactory11pathFactoryEv

The -D define removes the second class definition.
--export-all-symbols works, but since I've done all of
the work to put in __declspec(dllexport) everywhere,
I'd like to use it.

The code works with the Metrowerks compiler on Windows,
haven't tested with Visual C++ since it isn't very ISO
compliant.

This is a known bug with 'friend' declarations. A simple
workaround is to change it to:

friend class __declspec(dllexport) PathFactory;

Now the output when you type 'make' will be as expected.

Hi!

Is this bug going to be fixed anytime soon, as it is already
10 months old?
I also have this problem, and it would be very useful for me
if it worked properly!

Thank you.

Hello!

I have the same problem with my smooth Class Library
project -> http://www.sf.net/projects/smooth
It works with MinGW 1.x and MSVC, but not with MinGW 2.0.
The work around doesn't work for me.
