Generally speaking only exporting global functions works. Don't try to export classes / structs or anything fancy. I prefer dead-old-style plain & simple C functions in DLLs with a super simple interface based on basic types. Works bests, is stable, can be maintained and is easy to use. So, no fancy stuff needed in my case :-) -- Robert M. Münch http://www.saphirion.com smarter | better | faster

Should this work: export extern(C) auto ...
Windows, 32-Bit, DLL:
export extern(C) struct1 struct1(){
struct1 x;
return(x);
}
export extern(C) auto struct2(){
struct1 x;
return(x);
}
struct1 is visible in the DLL, struct2 is not visible in the DLL.
