definition of dllimport function not allowed

Question

While compiling a C code, I\'m getting the following error:

c:\\users\\kbarman\\documents\\mser\\vlfeat-0.9.13-try\\mser\\stringop.c(71): error C2491: \'vl_s         


        

Answer 1

As documentation states, dllimport function are not allowed to have a body right there.

[...] functions can be declared as dllimports but not defined as dllimports.

// function definition
void __declspec(dllimport) funcB() {}   // C2491

// function declaration
void __declspec(dllimport) funcB();   // OK
