The update deprecates xplat_legacy.h . You must now include:
// New in xplatcppwindowsdll v4.2 #define XPLAT_API __declspec(dllexport) extern "C" XPLAT_API int InitializeEngine(const char* config_path); XPLAT_API void ProcessData(uint8_t* buffer, size_t len); xplatcppwindowsdll updated
Furthermore, the DLL now supports , allowing your Windows executable to fail gracefully if the cross-platform resources aren't available. How to Update Your Project If you are currently using an older version (v3.x), the migration is straightforward but requires a recompilation of dependent projects. The update deprecates xplat_legacy
#include <xplat/core.hpp> #include <xplat/windows/dll_entry.hpp> Ensure your Visual Studio project uses the /MT (Static CRT) or /MD (Dynamic CRT) flag as specified in the new documentation. Mixed CRT versions are the number one cause of "DLL Hell" with this update. Performance Benchmarks: What the Update Delivers We ran a quick benchmark comparing the old version (v3.1) vs. the updated xplatcppwindowsdll (v4.2). The test involved passing 10 million integers from a Linux WSL process to a Windows DLL via P/Invoke style calls. #include <xplat/core
