LCC-Win32

Introduction

Here is some settings to respect in order to make a Magic DLL in LCC-Win32.

Structure alignment

Set the structure alignment to 1 (no alignment), by using the /Z1 option of the compiler. (The #pragma pack(1) directive also works).

For better performance, you can separate all the Magic stuff (MAGIC_BIND function, FUNC_DSC table) in a file, and only compile this file to 1 byte alignment, the other files can be compiled to default (8 bytes) alignement.

Export

Use this line in the .def file : EXPORTS MAGIC_BIND=MAGIC_BIND.

To verify that the export is correct, use the "Quick View" option in the contextual menu in explorer. Dependency Walker does this job far better.
