WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
This property is implemented only for MS-compatible tools on Windows.
|
|
|
|
Enable this boolean property to automatically create a module definition
|
|
(``.def``) file with all global symbols found in the input ``.obj`` files
|
|
for a ``SHARED`` library on Windows. The module definition file will be
|
|
passed to the linker causing all symbols to be exported from the ``.dll``.
|
|
For global *data* symbols, ``__declspec(dllimport)`` must still be used when
|
|
compiling against the code in the ``.dll``. All other function symbols will
|
|
be automatically exported and imported by callers. This simplifies porting
|
|
projects to Windows by reducing the need for explicit ``dllexport`` markup,
|
|
even in ``C++`` classes.
|
|
|
|
This property is initialized by the value of
|
|
the :variable:`CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` variable if it is set
|
|
when a target is created.
