Export function from dll - use def file or dllexport?

Question

Module definition files (.def) linker with export information, attributes and other program information are interconnected. The .def file is most useful when creating a DLL. Because there are linker options that can be used instead of module definitions for operators, .def files are usually not necessary. You can also use __declspec (dllexport) as a way to specify exported functions.
