If WS_DLL_PUBLIC expands to something including "extern", they're declarations, and, therefore, *are* legal, even though they're empty.

If it doesn't expand to something including "extern", they're *definitions*, and, therefore, *aren't* legal because they're empty and aren't initialized.

If it's not expanding to something that includes "extern" in 1.10.5, try the current top of the 1.10 branch; it should expand to something that includes "extern" there.
