API_EXPORT grrrr

[Dean Gaudet <dg...@arctic.org>]

Grr, API_EXPORT messes up ctags.

How many people's ctags(1) has the "-I ignorelist" option?  Under Linux I
can work around API_EXPORT with this:

    ctags -I API_EXPORT -I API_EXPORT_NONSTD *.c

BTW I think you only need the dll crap on a prototype of the function
rather than on the function declaration.  For example, note that rprintf() 
is declared API_EXPORT_NONSTD in http_protocol.h, but only API_EXPORT at
its actual definition in http_protocol.c.

Wrong, I'm afraid.

That's because the __stdcall is suppressed by the "..." -
API_EXPORT_NONSTD just documents this automatic behaviour.

Cheers,
