The issue is with array variables declared as:
 epan/dissectors/packet-dcom.h:
   WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string dcom_hresult_vals[];
   WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string dcom_variant_type_vals[];
 epan/etypes.h:
   WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string etype_vals[];

Are these empty variable declarations legal?


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.
