Subject: Using Gnat.Sockets in a Windows DLL
From: ahlan@marriott.org

We have windows programs and DLLs that use the Windows WinSock API directly.
In order to make this code target independent (at least for Linux & OSX) we thought we should convert the code to use Gnat.Sockets.
This is relatively trivial.
Or at least it is for programs.
When we try to convert our DLLs we run into a linker problem.
If all we do is a "with Gnat.Sockets" then using GprBuild produces lots of messages saying that various entry points could not be found.
See below.
I recognize many of them as being in WS2_32.dll - which GprBuild finds when we build our programs (its in Windows/System32)
Except that the names are not quite right so I suspect that this is the root cause of the problem.
Has anyone any idea why a build of a DLL should behave differently to a build of a program with respect to name mangling?

Best wishes,
Ahlan
