VMS Help CC, Messages, PROTOSTATIC  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 Message        The extracted header file contains prototypes for
                static functions, which should be removed before
                including the header in a source file other than the
                originator.

 Description    When extracting function prototype declarations, the
                compiler has encountered a static function.  The
                prototype declaration placed in the output .H file
                should be removed if the .H file is included in any
                source other than that used to create the .H file.
                This is because those static functions may not be
                declared in the other files.  This message can only
                be generated when the compiler has been invoked with
                the option to extract function prototype
                declarations, and the suboption to generate
                prototypes for static functions has also been
                specified.

 User Action    Be aware of this if you wish to use the output .H
                file in a file other than the one from which the .H
                file was generated.
