objectarx name mangling in the export symbols

[chenzero]

Hello,

I am a developer in self learning ObjectArx programming.

The version I am using is a relative old, ObjectArx2016.

The problem I encountered is, the exported symbols in acdb20.lib is mangled, e.g:

for  function acrxUnloadApp(), when running cmd dumpbin,(tool in Visual Studio 2019),

dumpbin /exports acdb22.lib, it shows:

.......

?acrxUnloadApp@@YA_NPEB_W_N@Z (bool __cdecl acrxUnloadApp(wchar_t const *,bool))

......

This results in the minimal ObjectArx app can not link. ( reference error)

I also check the ObjectArx2018, same with name mangling.

both ObjectArx SDK are download from official web site.

Do I miss something or should try latest version ?

Thank you very much !

At last, I found the root cause of unresolved link error is,

because the lib is x64, should set the Visual Studio 2019 target platform also to  x64.

Thanks!
