Get signatures of exported functions in a DLL

Question

Is it possible to get an exported (C style?) function\'s signature (parameter count/types, return type) from a DLL? I can view the list of function names, addresses, ordinal

Answer 1

In C++, the function signatures are "mangled" into the name in a compiler-dependent way. This doesn't happen in C. So, if you have C functions in your DLL, you'll see unmangled names. If it's a C++ one, you'll see mangled ones.

C++ needs mangled names to allow the linker to resolve overloaded functions with different signatures.

I don't think there's any way for you to get the function singatures from a "C" DLL. They simply aren't present.
