01:07 * McMartin learns some incredibly dumb yet incredibly situationally useful tricks involving MS's obnoxious DLL protocols.
01:07
<&McMartin>
MSVC doesn't let you link directly against DLLs; you have to link against a stub static library (the "import library") to actually make use of it
01:07
<&McMartin>
MinGW automates those bits
01:08
<&McMartin>
But!
01:08
<&McMartin>
Because there's this interposing step, it turns out that there's no actual requirement that the symbols you import actually be the symbols the DLL exports, so you can resolve in-module symbol conflicts by importing functions under different names.
01:09
<&McMartin>
MinGW apparently has an obscure command-line tool that's supposed to help with that ("dlltool") but I've never used it.

This is some really damn good VIC-20-ing. https://twitter.com/hitfan2000/status/1106863804858535936
