Syntax

__declspec(<decl-modifier>)

Description

Use the __declspec keyword to indicate the storage class attributes for a variable or function.

The __declspec keyword extends the attribute syntax for storage class modifiers so that their placement in a declarative statement is more flexible. The __declspec keyword and its argument can appear anywhere in the declarator list, as opposed to the old style modifiers, which could only appear immediately preceding the identifier to be modified.

__export void f(void);                      // illegal
void __export f(void)                       // correct
void __declspec(dllexport) f(void);         // correct
__declspec(dllexport)void f(void);          // correct
class __declspec(dllexport) ClassName { }   // correct

__declspec(dynamic) Specifies that this function is dynamic (similar to virtual).
__declspec(naked) Specifies that this function should not have prolog and epilog code.
__declspec(hidesbase) Specifies that this member function has no relation to any virtual functions with the same name in any of the base classes.
