FIX: NONAME Keyword Not Functional with EXPORTS (114985)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Linker (LINK.EXE), when used with:
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 1.0
    • Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 32 for Windows NT 1.0

This article was previously published under Q114985

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".
