__declspec( dllimport ) declarator
__declspec( dllexport ) declarator
The dllexport and dllimport storage-class attributes are Microsoft-specific extensions to the C and C++ languages. They enable you to export and import functions, data, and objects to and from a DLL. These attributes explicitly define the DLL’s interface to its client, which can be the executable file or another DLL. Declaring functions as dllexport eliminates the need for a module-definition (.DEF) file, at least with respect to the specification of exported functions. Note that dllexport replaces the __export keyword.
The declaration of dllexport and dllimport uses extended attribute syntax.
For more information, see __declspec.
