what happens if i set up a class function for exporting, but don't export?

what happens if i set up a class function for exporting, but don't export?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  reading bitbake user manual, section 3.4.5, "Flexible Inheritance
for Class Functions", and i know how it works, but what happens if
you're writing a .bbclass file, define a function with the format such
that it's ready for exporting:

  <classname>_<functionmame>

but subsequently don't export it with EXPORT_FUNCTIONS? by what name
will it still be available to inheriting files?

Whether EXPORT_FUNCTIONS is used or not, the function will always be callable 
as <classname>_<functionname> (since that's how you have defined it).
