Implementing a class in a DLL allows for exchanging a component of a system without affecting the remainder of it. Exporting a class from a DLL using an abstract interface has been variously documented, but multiple instantiations using that setup have not. Widely referenced is Alex Blekhman's article at the Code project (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/28969/HowTo-Export-C-classes-from-a-DLL). While this works well for single instantiations, it does not work at all for various compilers, including MinGW's C++ compiler, when multiple instances are needed.
