This simplifies porting projects to Windows by reducing the need for explicit ``dllexport`` markup, even in ``C++`` classes. +When this property is enabled, zero or more ``.def`` files may also be +specified as source files of the target. The exports named by these files +will be merged with those detected from the object files to generate a +single module definition file to be passed to the linker. This can be +used to export symbols from a ``.dll`` that are not in any of its object +files but are added by the linker from dependencies (e.g. ``msvcrt.lib``). + This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` variable if it is set when a target is created. |
