/*!
* \file
* \brief Optional API function macros
*
* Some Asterisk API functions are provided by loadable modules, thus,
* they may or may not be available at run time depending on whether the
* providing module has been loaded or not. In addition, there are some
* modules that are consumers of these APIs that *optionally* use them; they
* have only a part of their functionality dependent on the APIs, and can
* provide the remainder even if the APIs are not available.
*
* To accomodate this situation, the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro allows an API
* function to be declared in a special way, if Asterisk being built on a
* platform that supports special compiler and dynamic linker attributes.
* If so the API function will actually be a weak symbol, which means if the
* provider of the API is not loaded, the symbol can still be referenced (unlike a
* strong symbol, which would cause an immediate fault if not defined when
* referenced), but it will return NULL signifying the linker/loader was
* not able to resolve the symbol. In addition, the macro defines a hidden
* 'stub' version of the API call, using a provided function body, and uses
* various methods to make the API function symbol actually resolve to
* that hidden stub, but only when the *real* provider of the symbol has
* not been found.
*
* An example can be found in agi.h:
*
* \code
* AST_OPTIONAL_API(int, ast_agi_register, (struct ast_module *mod, agi_command *cmd),
* { return AST_OPTIONAL_API_UNAVAILABLE; });
* \endcode
*
* This defines the 'ast_agi_register' function as an optional API; if a
* consumer of this API is loaded when there is no provider of it, then
* calling this function will actually call the hidden stub, and return
* the value AST_OPTIONAL_API_UNAVAILABLE. This allows the consumer to
* safely know that the API is not available, and to avoid using any
* other APIs from the not-present provider.
*
* In addition to this declaration in the header file, the actual definition of
* the API function must use the AST_OPTIONAL_API_NAME macro to (possibly)
* modify the real name of the API function, depending on the specific
* implementation requirements. The corresponding example from res_agi.c:
*
* \code
* int AST_OPTIONAL_API_NAME(ast_agi_register)(struct ast_module *mod, agi_command *cmd)
* {
* ...
* }
* \endcode
*
* In the module providing the API, the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro must
* be informed that it should not build the hidden stub function or
* apply special aliases to the function prototype; this can be done
* by defining AST_API_MODULE just before including the header file
* containing the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro calls.
*
* \note If the platform does not provide adequate resources,
* then the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro will result in a non-optional function
* definition; this means that any consumers of the API functions so
* defined will require that the provider of the API functions be
* loaded before they can reference the symbols.
*
* WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
*
* You MUST add the AST_MODFLAG_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS to the module for which you
* are enabling optional_api functionality, or it will fail to work.
*
* WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
