Symbian Example

ExeDlls are the targets for Symbian projects that make the projects compile into EXE for the hardware platform and into a special DLL, that can be launched as an EXE from the WINS emulator.

For S60 3rd edition EXEs can be started from the fully loaded emulator and some system interfaces have been changed. Universal HelloExeDll uses a bit of preprocessor magic and can be compiled both for S60 3rd and 2nd edition. On the 3rd edition the project will be built as an EXE; on the 2nd edition it will be built as a usual ExeDll - as an EXE for hardware and as a DLL for WINS.

From the HelloExeDll.mmp:

#ifdef EKA2
TARGET HelloExeDll.exe
TARGETTYPE exe
#else
TARGET HelloExeDll.dll
TARGETTYPE exedll
#endif


From the HelloExeDll.cpp:

#if ( defined( __WINS__ ) && !defined( EKA2 ) )
EXPORT_C TInt WinsMain(TAny* /*aParam*/)
{
return Start();
}
#else
GLDEF_C TInt E32Main()
{
return Start();
}
#endif

#if ( defined(__WINS__) && !defined(EKA2) )
TInt E32Dll(TDllReason /*aReason*/)
{
return KErrNone;
}
#endif
