Valid chars in dll name

[Deadooshka]

seems it can't accept "-" in dll name. How to escape it?
implib libcrypto-3-x64.dll, ACCESS_DESCRIPTION_free

ImpLib\src\implib64.inc [296] implib [2]:
        db `dllname
processed: db 'libcrypto'-3-x64.dll
error: value out of range.

- is interpreted as the minus sign converting the DLL name into an arithmetic expression. Enclosing the DLL name in quotes tells the preprocessor that - is a regular character:

implib 'libcrypto-3-x64.dll', ACCESS_DESCRIPTION_free

But this will not work because the DLL name is used to diversify some internal labels (so that symbols from multiple DLL can appear in the same import library).

A workaround would be to replace the - with a different character, like the _, for example:

implib libcrypto_3_x64.dll, ACCESS_DESCRIPTION_free

Then, after building the import library a hex editor (like HxD) can be used to search for all occurrences of libcrypto_3_x64 and replace them with libcrypto-3-x64. Note that the .dll extension has to be removed from the pattern when performing the search and replace.

I'll rewrite the code to fix this limitation. Thank you very much for reporting this issue!

A fixed version was committed to the main branch: https://github.com/vkamenar/implib-sdk/blob/main/src/implib64.inc

Now it's possible to enclose the DLL name in quotes and include the - character:

implib 'libcrypto-3-x64.dll', ACCESS_DESCRIPTION_free

I'll do some further tests and replicate the same fix to the x86 version.
