Several instances of function pointers in jdk.crypto.cryptoki are marked with the dllimport attribute, which should only be applied to symbol declarations, of which a typedef'd function pointer is not. In addition to being incorrect, at least on the versions of Visual C++ the JDK supports today, it is also redundant; Typically they are used to avoid an indirect stub that jumps to the proper entry in the import address table, but usage of these typedefs involves loading the address of a function and directly (Usually through GetProcAddress, even in other cases it would simply be set to the address of a function anyway) and assigning it to the pointer before immediately dispatching when called, which bypasses this procedure entirely and makes the attribute pointless.
