A static interface DLL represents an interface which is defined to its -clients by one or more headers for use at compile time, and an import library -for use at link time.

-

When a executable that is a client of the DLL is loaded at run-time, the -loader notes that it requires the static interface DLL to be available. The -loader then either loads the DLL or, if it is loaded already, attaches the -new client to it.

-

In Symbian platform, all static interface DLLs must have a uid2 of 0x1000008d. -The particular static interface DLL is then identified by name and by uid3.

-

For example, if a DLL called helloview.dll is built -with a uid3 of 0x10000252, then the name used in the import -library for ARM builds of Symbian platform is helloview[10000252]. -When the loader loads the helloview.dll, it checks that -its UID is 0x10000252. If the uid3 in the -DLL does not match, then the load fails.

mmp project specification

A static interface DLL -project file must specify the correct target type and UID:

    -
  • Specify the TARGETTYPE line -as:

    TARGETTYPE dll

    This -implicitly specifies UID1 correctly.

  • -
  • Specify the UID for -the DLL in a UID line:

    UID 0x1000008d -<UID3>

  • -
-

An example of the mmp project file for a -static DLL is given below:

TARGET CreateStaticDLL.dll -TARGETTYPE dll -UID 0x1000008d 0x10004268 -SOURCEPATH . -SOURCE CreateStaticDLL.cpp -USERINCLUDE . -SYSTEMINCLUDE \Epoc32\include -LIBRARY euser.lib -EXPORTUNFROZEN
