How to hide the exporting functions in DLL

Question

I don't want user to see all the exporting functions through Dependence in my DLL, is there a way to do it? I complie my DLL with C++ and MS Visual Studio.

Answer 1

No, the whole point of having exports is so that they are VISIBLE.

That's the short answer. The long answer involves .def files. You can tell the linker to turn your C functions into indexes using a [definition file](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d91k01sh(VS.80).aspx).
