It achieves this by generating 'trampoline' functions at the +old ordinal which get linked against import stubs which will be +resolved by the loader at the new ordinal. However the generated files +make it easy for the programmer to inject code into the trampoline if +the need arises by identifying each trampoline with the function it is +derived from. The generated .DEF file also permits a usable IMPORT lib +to be produced for the shim DLL if it is necessary. + +As alluded to above, for each entry in the supplied .DEF file +GENSHIMSRC generates an exported (trampoline) function in the .CIA +file and a corresponding entry in the associated .DEF file.
