+// when loading a function from a DLL you always have to cast the returned
+// "void *" pointer to the correct type and, even more annoyingly, you have to
+// repeat this type twice if you want to declare and define a function pointer
+// all in one line
+//
+// this macro makes this slightly less painful by allowing you to specify the
+// type only once, as the first parameter, and creating a variable of this type
+// called "pfn<name>" initialized with the "name" from the "dynlib"

+
+// a more convenient function replacing wxDYNLIB_FUNCTION above
+//
+// it uses the convention that the type of the function is its name suffixed
+// with "_t" but it doesn't define a variable but just assigns the loaded value
+// to it and also allows to pass it the prefix to be used instead of hardcoding
+// "pfn" (the prefix can be "m_" or "gs_pfn" or whatever)
+//
+// notice that this function doesn't generate error messages if the symbol
+// couldn't be loaded, the caller should generate the appropriate message
