Ok, you're right.
The declaration is actually there in the function definition.
Sorry to provide a broken example.
Here is a more acurate one:

--- function.c
  __declspec(dllexport) someFunction()
  {
      printf("Hi\n");
  }
---

Compiling this gives:

  $ llvm-gcc -shared -o libfunction.dll function.c
  Cannot export _someFunction: symbol not found
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks,
