Static Lib problem

[ecube]

I wrote a static lib in asm that uses a great deal of API functions so it isn't compiling currently in a c++ project of mine, since the c++ project uses some of the same api functions, anyone know how to make this work? Am working with visual studio 6.0 because I don't like 2005.

Cube,

You should only need to include the libraries that are called in the asm modules in you C program.

you must tell the compiler that the names in your library are not mangled.
so your prototypes must look like this:

Code Select Expand


/* header file for my library */
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
DWORD __stdcall MyUberAsmFuncInMyAsmLib ( DWORD );
__stdcall MyUberAsmFuncInMyAsmLib2 ( BYTE * );
BYTE * __cdecl MyUberAsmFuncInMyAsmLib3 ( ... );
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

Thankyou hutch--,
I find that amazing how easy that is, great :)
