I think this is a strong argument to move away from the export
definition in DEF file to a decoration in the header file. With the
prefix like i.e. WIRESHARK_API(1) you can decorate any function that is
intended to be public available.


I wonder if there's a way to do this by looking at whether the function
is declared static or not.
This might be easy. If all .obj files that are linked in the directory epan you can do 

  cd epan
  dumpbin /symbols *.obj | find /v "UNDEF" | find "External"

and get all non-static symbols in this format:

0 SECT4  notype ()    External     | _rval_to_str
0 SECT4  notype ()    External     | _match_strrval_idx
0 SECT4  notype ()    External     | _match_strrval
0 SECT4  notype       External     | _ftype_vals
0 SECT4  notype       External     | _stype_vals
0 SECT4  notype       External     | _modifier_vals_cmd
0 SECT4  notype       External     | _modifier_vals_resp
0 SECT6  notype ()    External     | _get_xdlc_control
0 SECT6  notype ()    External     | _check_xdlc_control
0 SECT6  notype ()    External     | _dissect_xdlc_control
The 4th column may be used for the DATA modifier in the .DEF file. The last column holds just the name.
This might be a starting point. But there have been removed some symbols from the .DEF file, since they are intentionally "internal" functions.
