Andrew, could you please provide a reasonable alternative to what we do?
Also, once again, I'm only aware of this problem because of a bug report of a
wxWidgets user but I really don't think there is anything specific to wx here.
To the best of my knowledge absolutely nobody is masochistic enough to export
every non-inline function in a class separately, all C++ projects supporting
Win32 DLL I ever saw used dllexport declaration with the class itself.
So, once again, if this is our bug, would you be so kind as to propose a
solution? I'm sure many other C++ library developers would be interested in
hearing it as well.
TIA!
