Re: OT dll-hell where to find help

["Ben Harper" <rogojin@...>]

There is nothing particularly strange about it. Static class data is
just like static C data. It lives within a compilation unit, which is
basically a single .CPP file. If you use the correct
__declspec(dllexport) / __declspec(dllimport) declaration on your
class, then you shouldn't have a problem. Perhaps your static data
needs to be initialized? Does your static data have a non-trivial
constructor? If so, then you must realize that these constructors are
run by the DLL loader, which is built into your DLL by the linker. You
must take care not to use such objects until after the DLL loader has
finished running.
