Can't help with the C++ stuff, however, below the FB code for a FB.dll,
which outputs a cString Ptr (declared extern "C++") ...

Compile with -dll compiler switch (see: FB documentation):

Code: Select all

Extern "C++"
/'
    This procedure uses the CDECL convention and its name is mangled
    compatible to g++-4.x (see C++ documentation)
'/

Function _time_() As Const ZString Ptr Export
    Static As ZString * 9   sTime       ' 8 byte Time + chr(0)

    If sTime <> Time Then sTime = Time  ' update if needed

    Return @sTime
End Function

End Extern

Better ask C++ related questions in another Forum (mixed language, or C++ specific).

What would be the purpose of this? Just interfacing to C++ via strings?
