| ============================================ |
| |
| PEXPORTS is a program to extract exported symbols from a PE image |
| (executable). It can perform a simple check on the size of the |
| arguments of the exported functions, provided there is a header with |
| prototypes for the functions. This is useful when you want the |
| decorated function names for functions using the stdcall calling |
| convention. GCC is used to do the preprocessing so it must be in your |
| path. |
| |
| Note that the Windows version uses ';' as path separator, |
| while if built for Cygwin (or *nix) it uses ':'. |
| |
| Command line options: |
| ===================== |
| -h <header> parse header |
| -o print function ordinals |
| -p <preprocessor> set preprocessor |
| -v verbose mode |
| |
| Header files are searched for in the following directories: |
| 1. Current directory |
| 2. Directories in C_INCLUDE_PATH |
| 3. Directories in CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH |
| |
| NOTE: The header parser is *very* primitive, and might be of |
| questionable usefulness. It only tries to find function prototypes and |
| check the number of arguments a function expects. It is NOT a complete |
| C parser, there are probably many conditions when it will fail |
| (especially complex parameter types), although I it works fine for me. |
| Please do not report bugs, but feel free to send patches. |

| RELEASE 0.47 |
| ================= |
| * Eliminate Microsoft style typedef obfuscation. |
| * Correct a further potential segmentation fault, resulting from |
| overflow when computing 32-bit offset differences, which are then |
| applied to 64-bit pointers. |
| |
| RELEASE 0.46 |
| ================= |
| * Corrects two potential segmentation fault bugs. |
| * Now supports building "out-of-source", to facilitate parallel builds |
| for differing hosts; (verified for mingw32, 32-bit and 64-bit linux). |
| * Now uses the GNU (autoconf managed) build procedure; run configure |
| before make, when building, ("in-source" or "out-of-source"). |
| |
| RELEASE 0.45 |
| ================= |
| * Incorporate patches from 0.44-1-mingw32 release |
| * Reinstate binary distribution for mingw32 host only; |
| (distributed source is host-agnostic). |
| |
| RELEASE 0.44 |
| ================= |
| * Handle also 64-bit executables. Make it work also if built as 64-bit |
| code. Remove all gcc -Wall warnings. Make it compilable also with |
| MSVC. Disable Wow64 file system redirection when running as a 32-bit |
| process on 64-bit Windows. Distribute just sources. |
| |
| RELEASE 0.43 |
| ================= |
| * There were bug which led to wrong subcategorizing of symbols as |
| code/data. I thought it was fixed in version on the site, but it turns |
| out that almost year there was wrong version. I greatly apologize to |
| everyone whom it cause problems and confusion. |
| |
| RELEASE 0.42 |
| ================= |
| * Data/non-data symbols are now distinguished. |
| |
| RELEASE 0.41 |
| ================= |
| * The header parser now accepts all kinds of parameters. |
| |
| RELEASE 0.4 |
| ================= |
| * Function pointer parameters are now handled |
| * Handling of function attributes improved |
| * It is no longer always necessary to include windows.h for headers |
| that required it but did not include it themselves. |
| |
| RELEASE 0.3 |
| ================= |
| * Completely rewritten parser (the previous one was *very* bad). |
| It is now possible to generate .DEF files for windows system |
| dlls (kernel32,user32,gdi32,shell32 etc) |
| * Enhanced symbol handling (symbols are sorted in a tree). |
| |
| RELEASE 0.2 |
| ================= |
| * Fixed bug with unnamed parameters that are pointers. |
| * Extra whitespace is no longer printed |
| * Binary versions available for mingw32 and cygwin32 |
| |
| RELEASE 0.1 |
| ================= |
| * Initial release. |
