C - DLL Export

I use CodeBlocks 10.05, I want use C dll in .NET. I write following code in CodeBlocks 10.05 compiler, but get error when I build it. #include <stdio.h> extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int GetLuckyNumber() { return 13; } ERROR MESSAGE error: expected identifier or '(' before string constant

Hi, I've never seen
extern "C"without curly brackets, so tryextern "C" { ... unmangled C code here ...}:)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum

extern "C"will work without curly brackets. Curly brackets are required if you need to include multiple lines in the scope ofextern "C".«_Superman_»
I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. -

Check the line number where the error occurs and post the code. The code that you've posted here has the correct syntax.

I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.If we're being picky here, the actual condition is not "multiple lines" but "more than a single declaration". Refer section 7.4 of the standard. For example,
extern "C"
double
sqrt(
double)
;is OK, but
extern "C" double sqrt(double); double exp(double);
and
extern "C" int square(int x) {return x*x;}
are not.

What compiler do you use in your IDE environment? I think
__declspec(dllexport)is only for MS compiler, not for gcc.I use GCC compiler.

I use GCC compiler.
If you're using
gcc file.cfrom the command line, then that could be the problem - gcc is the C compiler andextern "C"is C++ code. Useg++ file.c, or make sure the file extension is .cpp or .c++ for gcc to compile it as C++. -
