I post here as I think the main users of old fashioned C++ win32 dlls might
well be VB developers hacking up the odd bit of fast code.

I have followed the instructions in the MSDN notes that deal exactly with
this, but __stdcall is not behaving.  The function I declare as

__decslspec(dllexport) int __stdcall funkyfunc1 (int i)

should be described in the .map file as

rather than

I can get VB to call the function if I give it the gibberish name in the
Declare alias, but the output from the function is aslo gibberish.  I have
the "use __stdcall" option turned on in the project settings and I am using
MS Visual Studio 6.

Has anyone else had similar problems with __stdcall / __declspec(dllexport)
in VC++ 6?

TIA

Did you add an Exports list to the Dll's DEF file? Without this, C++ will
"mangle" the function name. In earlier versions of  VC++ you had to use an
"Extern 'C'" declaration, but this is not necessary with the appropriate DEF
file.

__declspec(dllexport)

I was under the impression that a .DEF file was an alternative to the

__declspec(dllexport)

option, but I will try it with both and see how it goes.

Does anyone have example code for a dll exported under vc++ 6 with a
