DLL support

What's that I see in the latest syncmods - DLLMain().

Are we getting DLL support sometime soon?

In what mod?

BlitzMax has dll creation support.
Have a look here:

However two things:
1)it's not official
2)blitzresearch license doesn't allow anyone to make dlls, libs, ..

PS: to blitzresearch: wouldn't be possible to make personal-only usage dlls?

BRL.Blitz ModInfo : -

Looks like that's a yes.

However it's not premitted/formalized yet, once it's got official, it may come with IDE options.

Technically it seems BRL just want to simplify things, which make BlitzMax produces "executable" and "mod" only.

Well I don't see a reason why it can't be permitted. If someone wanted to put a DLL wrapper together with a bunch of exposed max features they could just as easily give away their copy of Blitzmax. So... come on, let's have it :)

Have a look at this piece of text(taken from the blitzresearch bmax license):


"You may not DISTRIBUTE", which implyies that you can build how many dlls you would want, only you'll not be able to distribute them.

What's wrong with C++ for DLL creation?

Not every one knows C++ that well.
