Thread: Evil dll's

How would I go about making a class internal to a dll? To clarify, how do I make a class that would not go into the definition file and not be part of the library file?

Here is a simplified example of what I want:

Code:

class MyClass {
public:
    MyClass();
    void *MyFunc1(int, int)
    ...
};

//assume that the class has been defined

//avoid name-mangling
extern "C" {
//c functions that I want the dll to export

void *DLLEXPORT something(int i) {
    MyClass stuff;
    return  stuff.MyFunc1(i, 7);
}

}

In the dll I am working on I do not what any internal classes to be exported, however, they are anyway. I am using mingw 3.2.

Here is one tutorial on basic DLL implementation.

Well I actually figured it out a very shortly after posting this. I found using the --no-export-all-symbols option does the trick fine since it will only export functions/classes that have been explicitly been declared as a dll export. I'll look at the link anyway, who knows I may learn something.
