I tried to make sense of this issue by referring to direct draw and open gl dlls, but just got more confused.
Do NOT look at DirectDraw or OpenGL for references as how it is done... The current stuff there are mostly hacks to get the DLL separation to work (ie for DDraw, it should go through a proper HAL and for OpenGL, it's not documented how Windows did it, so we did our own hacks).
So, that explains why I got confused ;-)
But I face a similar problem of dll separation. Infact anyone who has to access X11 features not exposed in x11drv will face dll separation problems.
So, in hindsight, what advice would the DirectDraw or OpenGL developers give to someomne facing dll separation problems?
