Hi all,
I noticed in the code that there is a concept called "forwad_export". Does it have anything to do with making a function in one DLL return a function address that belongs to another?
If that is the case, how do I activate this? Is there some spec file magic that will do it?
Yes. Example from kernel32.spec: @ stdcall RtlMoveMemory(ptr ptr long) ntdll.RtlMoveMemory This is a function called RtlMoveMemory that forwards to the ntdll function RtlMoveMemory (the names don't have to be the same).
I believe this is exactly the way you want to do it as the same has been done for the *Wrap functions in SHLWAPI (which are effectively a mini-unicows.dll).
