FIX: NONAME Keyword Not Functional with EXPORTS

ID: Q114985

1.00 WINDOWS NT kbtool kbfixlist kbbuglist

The information in this article applies to:

   Microsoft Linker, version 1.0, included with:
      - Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 1.0
      - Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

To export a function as an ordinal without an entryname, you should specify the NONAME keyword in one of the following ways:

On the functions exported using the EXPORTS statement in the module definition file (.DEF).
-or-
On the functions exported using the Linker /EXPORT option.

However, dynamic-link libraries (DLL) linked with the version 1.0 Linker export such functions with an entryname.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug with Linker, version 1.0. This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The exported functions in the DLL can be viewed using "dumpbin -exports".
