When building a DLL with MSVC, CMAKE 3.4 can now auto-create a .def file for all functions in the DLL, but global variables or static class variables are not included in the .def file. Could the .def file be created with def's for the variables as well as the functions?
See my blog on the topic: http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/939
Short answer is no, it is not possible. The def file has all of that stuff. The problem is the calling code needs to know. That is stuff linking to the dll needs to know at compile time if the global variable is in a dll or not.
