#include <conditionalmacros.h>

In there you  will find the following: (sorry about the line-wrapping)

    #define EXTERN_API(_type)                        __declspec(dllimport)
_type __cdecl
    #define EXTERN_API_C(_type)                        __declspec(dllimport)
_type __cdecl
    #define EXTERN_API_STDCALL(_type)                __declspec(dllimport)
_type __stdcall
    #define EXTERN_API_C_STDCALL(_type)                __declspec(dllimport)
_type __stdcall
    #define CALLBACK_API(_type, _name)                _type (__cdecl *
_name)
    #define CALLBACK_API_C(_type, _name)            _type (__cdecl * _name)
    #define CALLBACK_API_STDCALL(_type, _name)        _type (__stdcall *
_name)
    #define CALLBACK_API_C_STDCALL(_type, _name)    _type (__stdcall *
_name)

when building for Windows.

These macros simply use 'extern' when building for the Mac platform. Check
in the Universal Interfaces for examples of their use.

ConditionalMacros.h should work just fine when building on a Windows
platform.
