Is there a way to automagically export all the symbols in a dll?

mingw has an argument --export-all-symbols.

I'm not afraid to write some scripts to do my work, so suggest anything :-)

The use case is running unit tests against a dll without building the unit
tests into the dll itself, as linking times dominate.

Thanks

You may be able to extract the list of symbols from each object file using
the lib tool or from the browse information, then create a linker .def file.

Thanks, that was what I had figured!
