Is it true that a DLL can have a heap (like for linked lists etc.)?
If so, does a DLL create a data segment for each instance of each program
that calls the library?
My ultimate goal is to implement a group of DLL's that will allow me to
write several display list oriented graphics applications, and I don't want
to have to implement a multisegment display/object list. The way want it is
the following:
Display List manager - worries about lines, rectangles, ellipses
Object manager - worries about the non-graphical information about
certain objects: data base blocks, complex symbols
spreadsheet cells, etc.
Message manager - accepts messages and knows which module to
dispatch them to.
The last DLL will be necessary to implement a platform independant system.
The other platforms will be Mac and Motif/X11.
Any help will be greatly appeciated.
