Compiler/Linker Issues
This section describes the different kinds of compiled modules available under LabWindows/CVI and includes programming guidelines for modules you generate with an external compiler.
The LabWindows/CVI compiler is compatible with compilers that generate files of the Common Object File Format (COFF), such as the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler.
In LabWindows/CVI, you can perform the following actions:
- Load 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs using the standard import library mechanism
- Create 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs and DLL import libraries
- Create library files and object files
- Call the LabWindows/CVI libraries from executables or DLLs created with an external compiler
- Create object files, library files, and DLL import libraries that an external compiler can use
- Load object files, library files, and DLL import libraries created with an external compiler
- Call Windows SDK functions
(Linux) Ensure that you are familiar with compiler/linker issues for Linux applications.
