Please tag octave_exit with OCTINTERP_API, to make it MSVC user-friendly.
I'm not sure about the syntax in that particular case (function type),
I think it
should be

extern OCTINTERP_API void (*octave_exit) (int);

But what will definitely work (besides the typos) is

typedef void(*octave_exit_t)(int);
extern OCTINTERP_API octave_exit_t octave_exit;
