digitalmars.D - Should export be stripped by the .di generator?

I'm wondering if the export keyword should be stripped by the .di 
generator of dmd or not.
Lets say DLL 2 imports DLL 1s import files. Will that not cause DLL 2 to 
also export the the symbols of DLL 1?

How much wanted is a dll version of druntime and phobos?

Kind Regards

export on a function declaration means dllimport for exactly that purpose

It's not mentioned at the attributes doc site but I'm sure I read it  
somewhere else.

Walter has said as much in various posts on the NG's here and thats about as far as the docs for it got. DI files are a bit of a mess currently and my clean-up patch breaks DMD when building druntime and phobos. I need Walter's help in figuring out WHY it's breaking, but getting a hold of him is like trying to catch a ghost! -- Adam Wilson Project Coordinator The Horizon Project http://www.thehorizonproject.org/

Did you email him and didn't get a reply? Catching his attention with a newsgroup post may or may not work. Andrei

Hmm, I didn't know we could do that, and I don't have his email, not that I can blame him for not giving it out. The one he uses to post to the NG's looks like an unmonitored address. You can send an email to the address I use here with his email. I would like to get this pulled into the mainline. :-) -- Adam Wilson Project Coordinator The Horizon Project http://www.thehorizonproject.org/

Google for <<Walter Bright email>>. First thing is his homepage. First button on his homepage reads "Send email to Walter Bright". And that doesn't work. Walter please fix that.

Where is the code? I might have a look through it.

My patch is here: git://github.com/LightBender/dmd.git For testing you can try to build the latest druntime. -- Adam Wilson Project Coordinator The Horizon Project http://www.thehorizonproject.org/
