It is possible, but non-trivial. QuickFIX does not export its symbols,
and there are link-time and run-time issues related to the use of
Singletons from a DLL (all of the session management stuff is handled as
a Singleton)
We have done it here at OCI for a customer who needed to use QuickFIX
from a DLL, but the work is target specifically at his application. The
general approach was to create another layer wrapped around QuickFIX
that was DLL-aware and force all interaction with QuickFIX to occur
through that layer. This layer added other value to the system, so it
was worth doing.
<plug> If you're interested in what it would take for OCI to do
something similar for you (that's what we do for a living), please
contact Malcolm Spence spe...@oc... We could also discuss
having you sponsor us to make the QuickFIX itself DLL friendly with the
goal of contributing that back to the open source library. </plug>
