API/ABI
OpenJPEG strives to provide a stable API/ABI for your applications. As such it
only exposes a limited subset of its functions. It uses a mecanism of
exporting/hiding functions. If you are unsure which functions you can use in
your applications, you should compile OpenJPEG using something similar to gcc:
-fvisibility=hidden compilation flag.
See also: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
On windows, MSVC directly supports export/hidding function and as such the only
API available is the one supported by OpenJPEG.
