[llvm-dev] DllImport: How to specify the library to link to?

[Alexander via llvm-dev]

Thank you.
So as far as i can see the C-API can merge/optimize/output modules to 
native objectfiles. And linking must be done using lld for example? By 
reading your answer and the lld page i have the following question:

- instead of a .lib file i can use a .dll, right? (your answer implied 
only .lib)
- if i have MyLibA.dll and MyLibB.dll and both export FooA and FooB but 
i want to import FooA from MyLibA and FooB from MyLibB.dll, do i have to 
declare the imports in 2 different llvmmodules for linking?

Is there some document or something to read further? I don't want to 
nuke everybody here with every single question i might have.
