This would only be useful if a function pointer defined in the linked dll is desired to be imported, not if the pointer itself is created locally and used to store a function address. In addition to being incorrect, at least on the versions of Visual C++ the JDK supports today, it is also redundant; Typically they are used to avoid an indirect stub that jumps to the proper entry in the import address table, but usage of these typedefs involves loading the address of a function and directly (Usually through GetProcAddress, even in other cases it would simply be set to the address of a function anyway) assigning it to the pointer before immediately dispatching when called, which bypasses this procedure entirely and makes the attribute pointless.
