I'm writing up some principles for future-proofing the C++ API and I have a question on declspec use:

The client API uses this idiom:

class Foo {
public:
  QPID_CLIENT_EXTERN f();
  QPID_CLIENT_EXTERN g();
};

In past projects I've always used this idiom:

class QPID_CLIENT_EXTERN Foo {
pulblic:
  f();
  g();
};

What's the reason for doing the former rather than the latter? It seems more verbose and error prone.

Cheers,
Alan.
