Finding the read only functions inside a dll

How to identify read only functions in a dll? What is meant by read only in this case?

If you don't know what a read only function is, why do you want to find them ? If this is something you've been asked to do, then you should ask for clarification from whoever set you the assignment.

Oh if you dont know what it is, no one is asking you to reply here please donot reply for my posts if you can do so.

There is nothing wrong with what Joanne said there. I think your reply was less than polite, and less than grateful, to somebody who was simply trying to help.

Are you looking for C++ functions that have the "const" modifier? The Dependency Walker can show you the functions exported by a DLL, but it doesn't list the functions designated as const. I suspect that const is a compiler directive, and once the compiler has verified that the functions doesn't change the object, it drops that attribute (mainly because noone else needs to know).

Hey that was nice to get a point of view from you. Thanks a lot for the same Peter
