4D has been DEP Compliant since 4D v11 SQL Release 4; however, any plug-ins must also be checked to see if they are DEP compliant.

When using the 4D Plug-In SDK it is possible to create a plug-in using the API that is either compatible or incompatible with DEP. There is a setting in Visual Studio which corresponds to the linker flag: /NXCOMPAT

When building a custom plug-in for 4D, it is important to make sure that the linker flag is set appropriately in order for your plug-in to be DEP compliant. If the plug-in depends on other DLLs, then they must be DEP compatible too.

The following image depicts the interaction between 4D and a Custom Plug-Ins:

The image above demonstrates that the linker flag should be checked in both the Open Source API project file, as well as any custom code.
