Re^3: On Yaks and the Shaving Thereof - finding exported symbols of a C library

Aha...

As long as GetProcAddress is in the core, you even can use it from Perl...
but - beware: perldoc win32

    Win32::GetProcAddress(INSTANCE, PROCNAME)
        Returns the address of a function inside a loaded library. The
        information about what you can do with this address has been l
+ost in
        the mist of time. Use the Win32::API module instead of this
        deprecated function.

anyway, you could do this in XS, then, but still - I would prefer parsing output of 'dumpbin' command...

update still no way to have function name by ordinal, BTW...
:(

Yes - my current list of preferences is See how ExtUtils::CChecker fares, especially concerning speed per checked symbol and the compatibility wishes of Maddingue. Currently Net::Pcap claims to be compatible back to Perl 5.004, and this build prerequisite will likely break that. See whether I can coax DynaLoader into providing a list of symbols. On Win32, DynaLoader is basically LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() anyway. Parse the output of `nm` or `dumpbin.exe` to get at the list of exported symbols. This has the attractive feature of allowing to find the symbols not only of DLLs but also of `.a` and `.o` files.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
