'_stricmp()' has been in all all VC-products since the 90-ies. From my attic, I even found it in a 16-bit Quick-C (cl v7) version (1992!). d:\PROG\C700\include\string.h: int __cdecl _stricmp(const char *, const char *); ... #ifndef __STDC__ /* Non-ANSI names for compatibility */ int __cdecl stricmp(const char *, const char *); ----- Windows-wise, in MSVC 2010 (the oldest I still keeping here), it is yes. Also in MSVC-2008: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k59z8dwe(v=vs.90).aspx And in all oldnames.lib AFAICS. -- --gv ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: https://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
