CVI 2013 clang.exe crashes at wrong "extern dllexport"

Question

Another issue...
#include <utility.h>
extern DLLEXPORT int crashme;
int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
crashme = 1;
return 0;
This makes clang.exe crash (using Windows 8, maybe it matters).
/* Nothing past this point should fail if the code is working as intended */

Hello!
Thanks for reporting the issue. I have filed bug report # 423475 for the problem.
However, it appears to me that you're trying to import "crashme" from a DLL into your project. Did you mean to use DLLIMPORT instead of DLLEXPORT? DLLEXPORT suggests that you're trying to export crashme from the current project and it's a little unusual to reexport a variable that you've just imported with "extern". (Unusual but no excuse for clang crashing.)
Sorry, the import/export directives are a big confusing. I'll try to summarize:
extern int x;
Variable x is declared externally and you're importing it from some other file into this file.
DLLIMPORT int x;
Variable x is declared externally in a DLL and you're importing it into this file.
DLLEXPORT int x;
Variable x is declared in this file (which is part of a DLL) and you're exporting x from the DLL for use in other DLLs/EXEs.
Thanks,
Peter
