title: Force MSVC to export all symbols of a static library
body: <p>I have a dll project with some C++ code inside and a static library linked to my project with a set of headers.</p>
  
  <p>There's no references to the functions of my static library inside my C++ code but I want MSVC to export all the symbols of the static library and I don't know how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>The static lib is in my VS project but when I compile my project, dumpbin says that only my C++ functions are exported, there's not a single trace of my static lib.</p>
