undefined reference to `_CAPI_INSTALLED@0', why?


Hello All,

I'm sure that this is covered somewhere, however I cannot find it
currently;)

Ok, I try to build a Cygwin application that requires CAPI functions
which are installed with the drivers for an ISDN card, the DLL is named
capi2032.dll, I have an import library which comes from the manufacturer
AVM but this contains symbols not included in the DLL or elsewhere.

In the .lib library are these symbols:

$ nm capi2032.lib | grep ' T '
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_MANUFACTURER@4
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_MESSAGE@8
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_PROFILE@8
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_SERIAL_NUMBER@4
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_VERSION@16
00000000 T _CAPI_INSTALLED@0
00000000 T _CAPI_MANUFACTURER@20
00000000 T _CAPI_PUT_MESSAGE@8
00000000 T _CAPI_REGISTER@20
00000000 T _CAPI_RELEASE@4
00000000 T _CAPI_WAIT_FOR_SIGNAL@4
00000000 T _TASK_REGISTER@12
00000000 T _TASK_RELEASE@4

in the import library I created are these symbols:

$ nm libcapi2032.dll.a | grep ' T '
00000000 T _TASK_RELEASE
00000000 T _TASK_REGISTER
00000000 T _CAPI_WAIT_FOR_SIGNAL
00000000 T _CAPI_SET_SIGNAL_FOR_16BIT
00000000 T _CAPI_RELEASE
00000000 T _CAPI_REGISTER
00000000 T _CAPI_PUT_MESSAGE
00000000 T _CAPI_MANUFACTURER
00000000 T _CAPI_INSTALLED
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_VERSION
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_SERIAL_NUMBER
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_PROFILE
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_MESSAGE_FOR_16BIT
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_MESSAGE
00000000 T _CAPI_GET_MANUFACTURER

Now linking against my import library gives me this errors:

Creating library file: .libs/libSimpleCapi.dll.a
.libs/capi20.o: In function `CAPI20_ISINSTALLED':
/p/ftproot/pub/asterisk/caiviar-0.3.5/src/capi20.c:68: undefined reference to `_CAPI_INSTALLED@0'
[...]



Where does the @0 in capi20.o: _CAPI_INSTALLED@0 came from?


I see in the source:

extern DWORD APIENTRY CAPI_INSTALLED (void);

unsigned CAPI20_ISINSTALLED (void) {
#if defined(CYGWIN) || defined(WIN32)
    return (unsigned)CAPI_INSTALLED () == 0;
#elif defined(LINUX)
    return capi20_isinstalled() == CapiNoError;
#endif


So why does the compiler creats a reference to _CAPI_INSTALLED@0 or is it the linker who wants to resolve CAPI_INSTALLED with @0 attached.

Sure, I could edit my .def file and create an import library that contains the symbol names as expected by the linker, however I want
to know why this happens.


Is the docu around which explains it or can somebody who knows what
happens here tell me, please?
