Compiler Error C2201

'identifier' : must have external linkage in order to be exported/imported

Remarks

The exported identifier is static.

Example

The following example generates C2201, and shows how to fix it:

// C2201.cpp
// compile with: /c
__declspec(dllexport) static void func() {}   // C2201 func() is static
__declspec(dllexport) void func2() {}   // OK
