Description

The C++ macros for module export (<NAME>_EXTERN) are not sufficiently general or granular to support the gcc, Microsoft, and mingw32 compilers.

This update creates three distinct macros for each module:

1) A Class macro (<MODULE>_CLASS_EXTERN) for annotating class declarations.
2) The usual method macro (<MODULE>_EXTERN) for annotating public class methods.
3) An inline-method macro (<MODULE>_INLINE_EXTERN) for annotating public inline methods.

The compiler-specific conditions are isolated in qpid/cpp/include/

{qpid,qmf}

/ImportExport.h.
