dllexport problem on native Singleton in mixed mode dll

[=?Utf-8?B?RmFiaWFu?=]

Hello,

I want to give multiple native classes (in different mixed mode dlls) access
to a managed output window (for error messages). Therefore I wrote a native
singleton with __declspec (dllexport). I get the following compiler errors:

Error 224 error C3389: __declspec(dlle xport) cannot be used with /clr:pure
or /clr:safe
Error 225 error C4394: 'ErrorHandler:: instance' : per-appdomain symbol
should not be marked with __declspec(dlle xport)
Error 226 error C4394: 'private: static ErrorHandler *
ErrorHandler::i nstance' : per-appdomain symbol should not be marked with
__declspec(dlle xport)
Error 228 error C3395: 'ErrorHandler:: GetInstance' : __declspec(dlle xport)
cannot be applied to a function with the __clrcall calling convention

and the same with the other methods of the class. The dll is definitely not
set to /clr:pure or /clr:safe.

I could not reproduce resp. localize the problem with a test program.

I will attach my class below.

Thanks for your help,

Fabian

FormDebugOutput is a form in a C#-DLL derived from Windows.Forms.F orm.

The problem is that you are compiling with /clr:pure, which does not support
exporting functions.

If you compile with /clr:pure, you can not define functions with native
calling conventions. Only functions with the managed calling convention
__clrcall can be defined. This means that only managed code can invoke a
function compiled with /clr. To export a function, a native calling
convention is necessary.

Instead of /clr:pure, you should compile with /clr.
