C++ input/output functions for gmp types are not exported by a dynamic library for Windows #12
Description
Context
Some functions (mostly operator<<, and operator>>) are not included in libgmp.def and therefore are not exported by a dynamic library for Windows.
Expected Behavior
The code below should compile and link successfully against gmp built as a dynamic library.
Actual Behavior
The linker can't find some functions. E.g. operator<< defined in osmpq.cc.
main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > & __cdecl operator<<(class std::basic_ostream<cha

D:\dev\gmp-test\build\Debug\main.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals [D:\dev\gmp-test\build\main.vcxproj]
Steps to Reproduce
#include <iostream>
#include <gmpxx.h>
int main() {
std::cout << mpq_class(1) << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Possible Fix
Add missing names into libgmp.def. An obstacle is that C++ functions names are mangled with mangling rules dependent on a compiler version. An alternative is to patch sources and add __declspec(dllexport).
