RE: [GD-Windows] GetProcAddress()

[Grills, J. <jg...@so...>]

I did that until I figured out this new technique.  There are also cases
where I need to access data, and in the main game engine the data are actual
objects, but in the graphics DLL they have to be accessed via pointers.
Fortunately, in most cases I was using pointers, and C++ allows you to call
function pointers with normal function call syntax.  Now I have uniformity
of access everywhere.

At the risk of sounding stupid, why didn't you just pass those in as
parameters?  Quake3 operates this way -- you load the render DLL and
pass it a refimport_t and receive a refexport_t.  Everybody can talk,
but no one is overly dependent on the other.
