 making a Delphi DLL with as little in the uses clause as possible


I want to create a small dynamic link library that contains only a few small functions. I do not need any additional units, but Delphi insists that the uses clause is incorrect if I remove the standard uses clause. The code does compile to a very small dll if I do remove the uses clause. May I disregard the error when I load the project?   

    While it is ok to disregard the error, it would be better to create a unit that would contain the code for your functions. This way the main project file can have a uses statement that will satisfy the IDE. Example:

    (* Main project file *)
    library Project ;
    uses
      Unit ;
    exports
      AddLong index   name 'ADDLONG' resident;
    begin
    end.
    (* unit 's code *)
    unit Unit ;
    interface
    function AddLong(a : longint;
                     b : longint) :  longint
    {$IFDEF Win32} stdcall; {$ELSE} ; export; {$ENDIF}
    implementation
    function AddLong(a : longint;
                     b : longint) :  longint;
    begin
      AddLong := a + b;
    end;
    end.
