/*
 * Support for Windows DLLs.
 *
 * When external source code includes header files for dynamic libraries,
 * the external source code is "importing" DLL symbols into its resulting
 * object code. On Windows, symbols imported from DLLs must be explicitly
 * indicated in header files with the __declspec(dllimport) directive.
 * This is not totally necessary for functions because the compiler
 * (gcc or MSVC) will generate stubs when this directive is absent.
 * However, this is required for imported variables.
 *
 * The LDAP libraries, i.e. liblber and libldap, can be built as
 * static or shared, based on configuration. Just about all other source
 * code in OpenLDAP use these libraries. If the LDAP libraries
 * are configured as shared, 'configure' defines the LDAP_LIBS_DYNAMIC
 * macro. When other source files include LDAP library headers, the
 * LDAP library symbols will automatically be marked as imported. When
 * the actual LDAP libraries are being built, the symbols will not
 * be marked as imported because the LBER_LIBRARY or LDAP_LIBRARY macros
 * will be respectively defined.
 *
 * Any project outside of OpenLDAP with source code wanting to use
 * LDAP dynamic libraries should explicitly define LDAP_LIBS_DYNAMIC.
 * This will ensure that external source code appropriately marks symbols
 * that will be imported.
 *
 * The slapd executable, itself, can be used as a dynamic library.
 * For example, if a backend module is compiled as shared, it will
 * import symbols from slapd. When this happens, the slapd symbols
 * must be marked as imported in header files that the backend module
 * includes. Remember that slapd links with various static libraries.
 * If the LDAP libraries were configured as static, their object
 * code is also part of the monolithic slapd executable. Thus, when
 * a backend module imports symbols from slapd, it imports symbols from
 * all of the static libraries in slapd as well. Thus, the SLAP_IMPORT
 * macro, when defined, will appropriately mark symbols as imported.
 * This macro should be used by shared backend modules as well as any
 * other external source code that imports symbols from the slapd
 * executable as if it were a DLL.
 *
 * Note that we don't actually have to worry about using the
 * __declspec(dllexport) directive anywhere. This is because both
 * MSVC and Mingw provide alternate (more effective) methods for exporting
 * symbols out of binaries, i.e. the use of a DEF file.
 *
 * NOTE ABOUT BACKENDS: Backends can be configured as static or dynamic.
 * When a backend is configured as dynamic, slapd will load the backend
 * explicitly and populate function pointer structures by calling
 * the backend's well-known initialization function. Because of this
 * procedure, slapd never implicitly imports symbols from dynamic backends.
 * This makes it unnecessary to tag various backend functions with the
 * __declspec(dllimport) directive. This is because neither slapd nor
 * any other external binary should ever be implicitly loading a backend
 * dynamic module.
 *
 * Backends are supposed to be self-contained. However, it appears that
 * back-meta DOES implicitly import symbols from back-ldap. This means
 * that the __declspec(dllimport) directive should be marked on back-ldap
 * functions (in its header files) if and only if we're compiling for
 * windows AND back-ldap has been configured as dynamic AND back-meta
 * is the client of back-ldap. When client is slapd, there is no effect
 * since slapd does not implicitly import symbols.
 *
 * TODO(?): Currently, back-meta nor back-ldap is supported for Mingw32.
 * Thus, there's no need to worry about this right now. This is something that
 * may or may not have to be addressed in the future.
