Fortunately there is a way to make a binary compatible DLL of AngelScript. Because of the large base of ANSI C resources readily available all C++ compilers make sure to produce compatible C code. Even other languages, such as Delphi and D, are able to use an ANSI C compatible dll. AngelScript has a prepared C compatible interface that can be used for this purpose.
To compile the dll and expose the C interface some preprocessor flags has to be turned on: AS_C_INTERFACE
and ANGELSCRIPT_EXPORT
. Obviously it will not be possible to register C++ class methods through this interface, so it might be useful to remove that part from the engine by defining the flag AS_NO_CLASS_METHODS
.
These flags and others are documented in the as_config.h header file.
