Excel, "stock" and a function is 2 different things.
Stock will make the compiler ignore something if it's not used in your script, thereby also hiding warnings/errors, and not including it in your .amx file.

Example of a normal function:

pawn Code:

FuncName(parameters)

Using stock:

pawn Code:

stock FuncName(parameters)

Or:

pawn Code:

new stock VariableName;

Haven't used stock for anything else, but you might be able to use it for more.

I believe that public functions can be called between filterscripts etc. by adding it like this:

pawn Code:

public FuncName(parameters)

Thereby, "public" and "stock" are 2 different add-ons.
But in that example, both "stock" and "public" is useless, unless you wanna use it between scripts.
