[MOAB-dev] question: MB_DLL_EXPORT

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Is MB_DLL_EXPORT actually used in MOAB or does it evaluate to empty when
using gcc/linux? 

I've never seen this syntax:

  class MB_DLL_EXPORT ReadHDF5 {  ........ };

where a qualifier sits in between the class keyword and the class
symbol. Is this a Microsoft C++ syntax for the Windows OS?

If MB_DLL_EXPORT is eliminated, would it break MOAB?

Thanks,
