How to build a library from the C++ using template?

[PengYu.UT]

Hi,

I know I can use "export" to compile library from the source code using
templates. But I don't exactly know how to do it. Would you please give
me some hint?

Best wishes,
Peng

Export is generally not implemented (except for EDG compilers).

The only compiler that I know of that supports this feature is the
Comeau C++ compiler. See http://www.comeaucomputing.com/.

Support for this feature extends the traditional scope of compiler
systems and hence has not been implemented in many products. (I think I
referred to it as a masochistic feature for C++ compiler developers.)

The alternative has been to put all the templates in the header files
and depend on the linker to allide multiple instantiations of template
instantiations.

He obviously means Microsoft's __declspec(dllexport).
The short answer is: Don't do it!
The long answer may be given in a Microsoft newsgroup.

No he doesn't. He specifically referred to "export" and templates,
which is what export is defined for. How did you get that he was
looking for DLL export? He never once metioned DLLs.
