Francoise,

I'm attaching a zipped document (in both MS word and html formats)
This document also summarizes all the changes in BNF done by SV-BC including
the extern function declaration.
(Changes from yesterdays meeting are not included).

Home this helps
Danny

Subject: [sv-bc] function external declarations and prototypes

I am trying to find in the 3.1 latest draft a specification of the extern
function declarations.
I have not found any formal complete description or bnf. Is the BC or EC
working on creating this definition and resolving this issue?
The sv-cc committee is using the extern declaration for creating external
references to
function implemented in DirectC and there are questions regarding:

- if multiple extern declarations are provided, how should they match
between each other to be compatible? how would they match to the actual
declaration?

Specific questions are:
  do default values need to appear in the extern declaration?
  can extern function declarations have different names than the actual
function declaration
  can multiple extern function exist and be different?
  Should all formal arguments appear in the extern declaration?
