This isn't a great approach - you've put the forward declarations into
the ifdef which is at best needless (if they conflict with anything real
something went badly wrong) and for the register defaults the chances
are anything actually trying to use that stub needs to know about the
definition so the ifdef should be pulled further down the function.

I've done something better.
