<description lang="en" title="Generate .def files for DLLs" > |
| 11 |
<paragraph>gendef can extract information from DLLs to create |
| 12 |
corresponding .def files that list the symbols available in each DLL. |
| 13 |
.def files can then be used by dlltool (mingw32-binutils) to generate |
| 14 |
import libraries. gendef is similar to pexports, but the two tools |
| 15 |
differ in how each determines the "decoration" (or calling convention) |
| 16 |
appropriate for each symbol, since that information is not always |
| 17 |
available directly from the DLL's symbol table. gendef locates the |
| 18 |
symbol's code in the DLL, and uses a disassembler to determine that |
| 19 |
information. pexports can use a C pre-processor to extract the |
| 20 |
information, provided you have the appropriate header files. Neither |
| 21 |
method is foolproof, so both tools are provided. |
| 22 |
</paragraph> |
| 23 |
<paragraph>gendef was written by the MinGW64 team. It can extract |
| 24 |
symbols from 32bit or 64bit EXEs or DLLs. It can automatically detect |
| 25 |
stdcall, fastcall, and cdecl calling conventions and generate the |
| 26 |
correctly decorated function names, without requiring the header files |
| 27 |
or a C pre-processor. |
