Thanks for replying. I'll revert the changes.

That's how I did it, and while it sounds odd, I believe this is right.
The public interface is

  vnl-gen-header ... > generated.h

and

  #include "generated.h"

The generated header contains some user-facing macros that call the
functions in vnlog.h with specific arguments. That's the API. From the
compiler's perspective, the functions declared in vnlog.h are the
interface, and the ABI in those symbols must be stable, and putting them
into the .symbols file is appropriate. Let me know if I'm doing
something wrong.

Thanks
