Extensions
**********

   This page documents extensions to standard IDL which libIDL will
understand.  To maintain portability, it is recommended that these
extensions are only used with some sort of C preprocessor define so they
can be conditionally omitted.

   * __declspec (<spec>)

     This token assigns special attributions to particular IDL
     constructs.

        - inhibit

          If __declspec (inhibit) is placed before a definition or
          export, that module or interface definition will be removed
          from the tree.  The tree is only deleted when the IDL_ns
          component is freed, so it can be traversed from the namespace
          component for extended information, but will be omitted from
          the primary tree.
