To be more precise, preprocessor macros would have to be used in such
a way that when compiling the library in question, the compiler sees
__declspec(dllexport), but when compiling software that uses the
library, it sees __declspec(dllimport) (or just 'extern', declaring
imported functions isn't really necessary).
