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 CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS
variable if it is set when a target is created.
