Ah. Thanks for the info. The macros didn't do anything though (never got that far), so the declarations/implementations were the default callspec. Not sure if that matters, and I don't really care :-P ... as long as Blair is set, then we're good. Background: serf used a set of DECLARE macros, much like Apache httpd and APR. But Subversion showed that it was unnecessary since you could just use a .def file instead of funky magic. And that it was easy to create that .def as long as your header files were regularized in their declaration formatting. So 0.7.0 drops the complexity and switched to a simple .def generation instead. Lesson learned: it doesn't pay to stick with old, tired idioms. Cheers, -g
