RE: [sv-cc] WIN32 and _WIN32 define

According to the definition:
 
The dllexport and dllimport storage-class attributes are Microsoft-specific extensions to the C and C++ languages. They enable you to export and import functions, data, and objects to and from a DLL.

I read the above as you export to the DLL and you import from the dll.
May be the comment in our header file should say:
export to the DLL
import from the DLL

Also for reference, __declspec(dllimport) is a Microsoft specific storage class attribute described by
