[haXe] Dll's

[Edwin van Rijkom]

Hi Lee,

The neko header doesn't obscure the DLL main method . Many DLL's 
(including .ndll's) don't have one; it's not mandatoy since they're 
libraries, and therefore don't require a starting point.

On windows, there's a special DllMain method though, that you can 
implement. If present, it will be invoked on DLL loading time. It 
doesn't get passed argc and argv parameters like a normal executable 
gets, though - since libraries cannot be launched with arguments.

If I'm not mistaken, the .ndll will be in the same process as the 
loading application, so you could try calling GetCommandLine from within 
your DLL, and obtain commandline arguments that way.

More info on the DllMain method is here:

More info on GetCommandLine is here:

Cheers,
Edwin
