DLL Compilation
compile_dll
Compile a C++ DLL with specific export settings using MSBuild. - projectPath: Path to the .vcxproj file (required) - configuration: Build configuration (optional) - Values: 'Debug' or 'Release' - Default: 'Release' - platform: Target platform (optional) - Values: 'x86' or 'x64' - Default: 'x86' - defFile: Path to .def file for exports (optional) - Specifies exported functions and their attributes - Used to control which functions are exposed by the DLL The tool uses Visual Studio's MSBuild to compile the DLL, providing: - Full build output with warnings and errors - Support for different configurations and platforms - Module definition file integration - Detailed build logsExport Analysis
analyze_exports
Analyze exports from a compiled DLL using dumpbin. - dllPath: Path to the DLL file (required) The analysis provides: - List of all exported functions - Export ordinals - Function names and addresses - Export forwarding information - Detailed export table analysisRequirements
