Re: [boost] shared_ptr, interface and dlls,

I changed my code to this:

void DLLCreate( Interface& rInterface ) { // Implementation option #1: rInterface.reset( new InterfaceImple );

// Implementation option #2: rInterface = InterfacePtr( new InterfaceImpl ); }

Is this a valid solution as well?

Yes, it's a valid solution. Didn't occur to me that references to classes would be allowed in extern "C".

But how can I load the function than after it got mangled?

You can use the mangled name. Something like ?DLLCreate@@YA?AV?$shared_ptr@VInterface@@@boost@@XZ. :-)
