It works as long as you don' allocate in one and delete in the other. 
C-style interfaces are fine, but passing a std::string from the EXE to the 
DLL (or vice versa) will fail. shared_ptr will work, though :-) unless you 
unload the DLL that has created it, of course. Deleting an object with a 
virtual destructor works, too.
