I'd enthusiastically support a richer macro to express a
data-by-call dereference, but that's not possible until APR
1.3 at earliest due to the versioning rules. Since 1.3 is in
development, that's the best version to target for such a change.
Ah, but this change would not need to cause binary or even
source incomptibilities for other OS versions.
Which doesn't matter...
Now, in the case of all other operating systems, we could
simply have
#define APU_DECLARE_EXPORTED_DATA(type, name)\
APU_DECLARE_DATA extern type name
I expected something similar although APU_EXPORT_DATA() might make
more sense for the first macro (consider line lengths!)
If that also would cause a change in the minor number, then
I would be perfectly happy with
Here's the issue;

We need to introduce these new macros with the next minor (1.3) bump,
although we do -not- have to wait for 2.0 since (as you pointed out)
there will be no ABI breakage on existing platforms.
