I would prefer to fix the underlying issue in osgDB, rather than finding better work-arounds. My intuition, but as a non-Windows user it may be wrong, is that exporting the ctor / dtor for a class you don’t ‘own’ in a DLL is not recommended practice. Again, assuming my change does what I think it does in terms of preserving the behaviour and linkage against osgDB for the implementations of the osgDB wrapper classes.

Kind regards,
James
