Note
If you use Microsoft C to build the DLL, you might get a linker error for an 
undefined symbol
 _acrtused2
. This error occurs only in Microsoft C 
versions 7.00 and later. Include the following dummy function in your 
DLL to fix this error. Also, when linking to the DLL, specify 
WIN87EM.LIB
 
as the first library to be linked.
void _acrtused2 (void)
{
}
DLL Glue Code 
Because LabWindows/CVI is a 32-bit application, it does not use 16-bit import libraries or 
import statements in module definition files. Instead, LabWindows/CVI uses 32-bit DLL glue 
code. In some cases, it is sufficient to use glue code that LabWindows/CVI automatically 
generates when it loads the DLL. However, you cannot use this method in the following 
cases:
The DLL requires special interface functions compiled outside of the DLL.
You expect to pass arrays bigger than 64 K to functions in the DLL.
You pass a pointer to a function in the DLL, and the DLL uses the pointer after the 
function returns. For example, you pass an array to a function that starts an asynchronous 
I/O operation. The function returns immediately, but the DLL continues to operate on the 
array.
You pass a function pointer to the DLL, and the DLL calls the function later. For example, 
the DLL makes a direct callback into 32-bit code.
You pass to the DLL a pointer that points to other pointers. Two examples of pointers that 
point to other pointers are an array of pointers and a structure pointer with pointer 
members.
The DLL returns pointers as return values or through reference parameters. 
The DLL exports functions by ordinal value only.
If your DLL falls into any of these categories, refer to th
 section of this chapter for details on how to proceed. Otherwise, refer 
to th
 section, also in this chapter.
