Module definition file

[George2]

Hello everyone,


The PRIVATE keyword of module definition file (.DEF) means,

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hyx1zcd3(vs.80).aspx

--------------------
The optional keyword PRIVATE prevents entryname from being placed in
the import library generated by LINK. It has no effect on the export
in the image also generated by LINK.
--------------------

My questions are,

1. Does it has any practical usage to prevent the exported function
from import library file?

2. If the exported function is not in the import library file, then
other component has to use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to use the
DLL, other than using implicit link?


thanks in advance,
George
