* In C using IMPORT_SYMBOL, you must specify the declaration as the

* second argument, for instance
|

*
|
||||
* @code
|
||||
* IMPORT_SYMBOL ( my_func, int my_func ( int arg ) );
|

* IMPORT_SYMBOL ( my_var, int my_var );
|

*
|

* void use_imports ( void ) {
|
||||
* if ( my_func && &my_var )
|
||||
* my_var = my_func ( my_var );
|
||||
* }
|
||||
* @endcode
|
||||
*
|
||||
* GCC considers a weak declaration to override a strong one no matter
|
||||
* which comes first, so it is safe to include a header file declaring
|
||||
* the imported symbol normally, but providing the declaration to
|
||||
* IMPORT_SYMBOL is still required.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* If no EXPORT_SYMBOL declaration exists for the imported symbol in
|
||||
* another file, the behavior will be most likely be identical to that
|
||||
* for an unavailable symbol.
