Bryce Denney 7f9c1489df - make it compile on non-win32 platforms by stuffing all the DLL details into macros. I got the idea for the MODULE1API(type) macros from expat.h that happens to be sitting on my disk. - modified: test2-dynamic/module1.cc test2-dynamic/module1.h test3-twomodules/module1.cc test3-twomodules/module1.h test3-twomodules/module2.cc test3-twomodules/module2.h test4-interdep/module1.cc test4-interdep/module1.h test4-interdep/module2.cc test4-interdep/module2.h		2002-10-11 15:29:32 +00:00

test4-interdep

Can one module reference objects in another module? Yes.

module1 exports module_name and operate(int,int).
module2 exports n_operations and operation_occurred().

uselib.cc uses symbols and functions from both modules.
Module1 calls operation_occurred() in module2.

To do this, module2 must be built first.  Then module1 is linked
against module2 so that the missing symbols are available.  Then,
uselib is linked against both.

This shows that we can chain libraries.  I haven't seen any way to
resolve a circular dependency, where mod1 depends on mod2 and vice 
versa, in win32 DLLs.  Probably those are not supported.
