Hi all,

I need to load two dll's and each dll must, upon loading, initialize a data structure. 
Both dll's must run on Windows 2000 and Linux. I have written some small code that 
should do the trick (see below). At this moment I make a distinction between 
Cygwin/MinGW on Windows and GCC on Linux.

My questions:

1. Is this distinction needed or should it work the same (Linux) way for all three 
compilers?
2. If so, is the unloading of the dll's in the reverse order of loading and is that 
guaranteed somehow (that is, can I depend on it)?
3. If the distinction is needed, does Cygwin behave as GCC on Linux or does it behave 
as MinGW?

TIA
