Then you must create a stub function, eg:
/*
* the prototype for the real thing must be in scope for this
* compilation
*/
#include "api_header.h"
/*
* Stub, compiled without prototype for stub_apicall() in scope,
* but *with* prototype for apicall() in scope.
*/
stub_apicall( xxx)
{
/*
* Calls real thing, compiled with prototype in scope
*/
return apicall( xxx)
}
...
/*
* other stup_apicalls....
*/
...
