Description

These modifiers are used to export classes, functions, and data.

The linker enters functions flagged with _export or __export into an export table for the module.

Using _export or __export eliminates the need for an EXPORTS section in your module definition file.

Functions that are not modified with _export or __export receive abbreviated prolog and epilog code, resulting in a smaller object file and slightly faster execution.

Note: If you use _export

or __export to export a function, that function will be exported by name rather than by ordinal (ordinal is usually more efficient). If you want to change various attributes from the default, you'll need a module definition file.
