[Sorry I didn't catch your reply sooner]<br>
<br>
I'm using the block_Fifo* functions from an access module, compiled as
a VLC plugin, that interfaces with PARC's Content-Centric Networking
transport (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ccnx.org">http://www.ccnx.org</a>). I need some buffering between the CCN
packet input thread and the stream of the upstream reader, and the
block_Fifo functions are designed for exactly that. block_FifoPace is
exactly the functionality I need to cleanly limit the fifo size without
resorting to spinning on the fifo depth. Since all the block_Fifo
functions are already exported (except block_FifoSize and
block_FifoPace) I made the request...<br>
<br>
Any other info I can provide?<br>

That does not answer the question. At the time I introduced the function
block_FifoPace() was not called from anywhere outside libvlccore. So it did
not need to be exported, unless I missed something.
So why do you want to export it anyway?
