The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.1 and 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The documentation for the EXPORTS statement in the module-definition file on pages 10-4 and 10-5 of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 2" for versions 3.0 and 3.1 is incomplete.

RESOLUTION

The name of any function that is called using the C calling convention must be preceded with an underscore (_) when it is listed in the EXPORTS section.

For example, listed below is the declaration for the MyVarArgs function: 

  int FAR CDECL MyVarArgs(LPSTR lpArgList, ...)
In the DEF file, the MyVarArgs function would be exported with the following statement: 

  EXPORTS
    _MyVarArgs
