| WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| This property is implemented only for MS-compatible tools on Windows. |
| |
| Enable this boolean property to automatically create a module definition |
| (``.def``) file with all global symbols found in the input ``.obj`` files |
| for a ``SHARED`` library (or executable with :prop_tgt:`ENABLE_EXPORTS`) |
| on Windows. The module definition file will be passed to the linker |
| causing all symbols to be exported from the ``.dll``. |
| For global *data* symbols, ``__declspec(dllimport)`` must still be used when |
| compiling against the code in the ``.dll``. All other function symbols will |
| be automatically exported and imported by callers. This simplifies porting |
| projects to Windows by reducing the need for explicit ``dllexport`` markup, |
| even in ``C++`` classes. |
| |
| This property is initialized by the value of |
| the :variable:`CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` variable if it is set |
| when a target is created. |
