[Dev-C++] Shared data sections.

[<mr...@c2...>]

Does anyone know how to get shared data segments to work
with Dev-C++?

This code compiles fine, but the resulting DLL contains no shared 
data segment:

#pragma data_seg(".SHARED")

int sharedvar =3D 0;

#pragma data_seg()
#pragma comment(linker, "/section:.SHARED,RWS")


I don't think the linker gets the comment from the last #pragma here, 
so is there any other way of telling this to the linker?

I tried adding the "/section:SHARED,RWS" (without quotes) to the 
"additional linker options" field in Project options for Dev-C++, but 
it doesn't have any effect. No errors either, it probably does not 
make it to the linker.

The linker also outputs a warning about a missing .def file, and that 
"dllwrap will create one, but it may not be what you want", how do I 
get rid of this?

Surely someone know the answers to these questions, or maybe have a 
link that explains how to do it?
