[Dev-C++] writing dll stuff

[Noorez K. <coo...@ho...>]

I have some questions for dll writing.

In the tutorials that I read, they say that the dllMain() function needs to 
be in C code. (use extern "C" if writing in c++). Do I have to do that if my 
dll will just be used by C++ code?
And the functions that I export in the dll, do they also have to use the 
extern "C" command as well?

One more, if I wrote a function using c++ components, then would extern "C" 
cause errors because it doesn't recognize the code because of being compiled 
as C of will the name just be exported without mangling...
