How to force simple function naming in dll?

[Null]

Hello, I'm writing a dll and there's one thing that bothers me. For example if I have function for dynamic linking

__declspec(dllexport) void my_function(void*)
{
// ...
}

to call this function from a program I must know its "export". The problem that really bothers me is that linker gives strange names for functions, eg.: _Z8my_functionPv instead of my_function. Maybe there's a way to prevent compiler/linker from doing that?
Thanks for help.

extern "C" may be what you are looking for. e.g.

#ifdef __cplusplus
#define EXPORT extern "C" __declspec (dllexport)
#else
#define EXPORT __declspec (dllexport)
#endif

EXPORT void my_function(void*)
{
// ...
}

Thanks!
