This warning is emitted when you are building an import library for a DLL and export one of the above functions without specifying it as PRIVATE in the module-definition file. In general, these functions are exported for use only by OLE. Placing them in the import library can lead to unusual behavior when a program linked to the library incorrectly makes calls to them. For more information about the PRIVATE keyword, see EXPORTS.
