__declspec

Microsoft Specific

The extended attribute syntax for specifying storage-class information uses the __declspec keyword, which specifies that an instance of a given type is to be stored with a Microsoft-specific storage-class attribute listed below. Examples of other storage-class modifiers include the static and extern keywords. However, these keywords are part of the ANSI specification of the C and C++ languages, and as such are not covered by extended attribute syntax. The extended attribute syntax simplifies and standardizes Microsoft-specific extensions to the C and C++ languages.

Grammar

  • decl-specifier:
    __declspec ( extended-decl-modifier-seq )

  • extended-decl-modifier-seq:
    extended-decl-modifieropt

    extended-decl-modifier extended-decl-modifier-seq

  • extended-decl-modifier:
    align(#)

    allocate("segname")

    appdomain

    code_seg("segname")

    deprecated

    dllimport

    dllexport

    jitintrinsic

    naked

    noalias

    noinline

    noreturn

    nothrow

    novtable

    process

    property({get=get_func_name|,put=put_func_name})

    restrict

    safebuffers

    selectany

    thread

    uuid("ComObjectGUID")

White space separates the declaration modifier sequence. Examples appear in later sections.

Extended attribute grammar supports these Microsoft-specific storage-class attributes: align, allocate, appdomain, code_seg, deprecated, dllexport, dllimport, jitintrinsic, naked, noalias, noinline, noreturn, nothrow, novtable, process, restrict, safebuffers, selectany, and thread. It also supports these COM-object attributes: property and uuid.

The code_seg, dllexport, dllimport, naked, noalias, nothrow, property, restrict, selectany, thread, and uuid storage-class attributes are properties only of the declaration of the object or function to which they are applied. The thread attribute affects data and objects only. The naked attribute affects functions only. The dllimport and dllexport attributes affect functions, data, and objects. The property, selectany, and uuid attributes affect COM objects.

The __declspec keywords should be placed at the beginning of a simple declaration. The compiler ignores, without warning, any __declspec keywords placed after * or & and in front of the variable identifier in a declaration.

A __declspec attribute specified in the beginning of a user-defined type declaration applies to the variable of that type. For example:

__declspec(dllimport) class X {} varX;

In this case, the attribute applies to varX. A __declspec attribute placed after the class or struct keyword applies to the user-defined type. For example:

class __declspec(dllimport) X {};

In this case, the attribute applies to X.

The general guideline for using the __declspec attribute for simple declarations is as follows:

decl-specifier-seq declarator-list;

The decl-specifier-seq should contain, among other things, a base type (e.g. int, float, a typedef, or a class name), a storage class (e.g. static, extern), or the __declspec extension. The init-declarator-list should contain, among other things, the pointer part of declarations. For example:

__declspec(selectany) int * pi1 = 0;   //OK, selectany & int both part of decl-specifier
int __declspec(selectany) * pi2 = 0;   //OK, selectany & int both part of decl-specifier
int * __declspec(selectany) pi3 = 0;   //ERROR, selectany is not part of a declarator

The following code declares an integer thread local variable and initializes it with a value:

// Example of the __declspec keyword
__declspec( thread ) int tls_i = 1;
