But we don't need to support that. If it doesn't get recognized, the function is not exported. You can manually look in the generated spec file and see it's not there.
I don't think we need to be too clever. Just get the 80% that can be done with 20% of effort.
Well as I said "winapi_extract --spec-files" works to some extent even now and getting it to work good enough might not be that much effort.
However I'm worried about the "stabillity" of the result.
It's a temporaray solution anyway: we need help from the compiler, writing a C parser (no, a gcc-C parser) is a lot of work.
Yes. I know I have tried. :-)
Mingw supports __declspec, Urlich, what would it take for the regular gcc to support it under Linux/ELF?
But what should it do? Just generate a special dllexport section that you can read with appropriate tools or what?
But beyond that, we can *today* compile Wine with Mingw as PE. So what we need is a checkspec make target which would run your script, compile Wine as PE, extract what needs extracting from there, and compare results. This does not need to happen all the time, only from time to time by some people that (1) have Mingw installed, and (2) care to do it :).
True. However I still a little worried about the "stabillity" of the solution.

Me too. :))))

Exactly. If they put all information in a section that we can later parse, we're almost done.

True. However I still a little worried about the "stabillity" of the solution.
Why? This is as good of a verification method (no, even better) than what we have today.
