It means that BOOST_DLL_AUTO_ALIAS(my_namespace::cpp_function_name) must be able somehow to cut off the namespaces leaving only the variable/function name.

I was imagining that there would be a way to just replace "::"with _ (and not lose the namespace) to get:

extern "C" void* my_namespace_cpp_function_alias_name = &my_namespace::cpp_function_name;

I'm not experienced with macros so I'm not sure if it's doable. Maybe separating the differents name parts would work:

BOOST_DLL_AUTO_ALIAS( namespaceA, namespaceB, function_name) // implemented with recursion for the namespaces?

extern "C" void* namespaceA_namespaceB_function_name = &namespaceA:: namespaceB::cpp_function_name;

But it seems less "elegant".

I've committed BOOST_DLL_AUTO_ALIAS macro. It's not exactly what you wanted, take a look and tell me what you think http://apolukhin.github.io/Boost.DLL/boost_dll/introduction0.html I've also added new refcounting import functions that automatically decide to return shared_ptr<T> or function<T>, according to the type of T. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
