Many (most?) of the function declarations in the CPython header files are annotated with the PyAPI_FUNC declaration. Similarly for data declarations and PyAPI_DATA
What do they mean, exactly? From the name I would expect that they are a way of declaring a function or datum to be part of the API, but their usage seems to be more to do with linkage.
The reason I am asking is that the new dictionary implementation declares a few functions used to communicate between dictobject.c, typeobject.c and ceval.c which cannot be static functions, but are not intended to be part of the API.
