DLL Function Prototypes

[RAZ]

Hi, Is there a way to get the prototypes of the exported functions of a DLL? Thanks Richard

dumpbin /exports TEST.DLL > exports.txt dumpbin.exe comes with Visual C++.

Thanks, but that only give the function names. I need to know the function prototypes. Richard

You have to debug a program that make use of that DLL. ;P - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Memory leaks is the price we pay \0 01234567890123456789012345678901234

Does anyone know of a tool that will do this for type libraries? I can use OLE View to get the IDL, but I'd like to get hold of the info in C++ and VB formats. I might try to do something like this myself, but why reinvent the wheel, if it has already been done? (actually I'm lazy, but thats besides to point ;-) )

OLEView itself is a VC Sample.

I have got a program at work that givs me the prototypes of the functions in a dll. I can't remember the name of the program, but I can have a look at it tomorrow.

Wasn't there an article in MSJ a year or so back about doing this very thing? Can't remember who wrote it though. The article was on generating symbols from a type library (I think). CHeck out the MSJ website, its probably on there. Stephen Kellett

Thanks, I think this is the article, if anyone else is interested Improve Your Debugging by Generating Symbols from COM Type Libraries
