Returning user defined types from DLL

[Shlomy Shivek]

Hi,
I have an application that uses my DLL.

I want the DLL to return a list type object to the application that
calls it:
list<Type> Proc() {
list<Type> x;
return x;
}

It pass the compliation stage but on runtime it gives me heap error.
Is it possible to do so ?

Dynamic libraries are outside the scope of the language definition, and
thus partially off-topic in this group.

The short answer is, however, that you must ensure that memory allocated
by some allocator A is also deallocated by that very same allocator A.

How to accomplish that for DLLs is unfortunately off-topic in this group
(ask in a Windows programming group).
