Hey where does ENGINE_API defined?

Development Programming & Scripting
1

i see it being used everywhere in source code but definition

where’s the definition and what it even does?

2

In \Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4Editor\Development\Engine\SharedPCH.Engine.ShadowErrors.h

#define ENGINE_API DLLIMPORT

And DLLIMPORT is defined depending on the platform.
For example, for windows:

#define DLLIMPORT __declspec(dllimport)

More info in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/declspec?view=vs-2019.
