Yeah, per your msdn link:
VOID WINAPI Sleep(
__in DWORD dwMilliseconds
);
and per mingw-w64's winbase.h:
WINBASEAPI VOID WINAPI Sleep(DWORD dwMilliseconds);
I sort of knew that already. But it's the "VOID" and "WINAPI" and
"DWORD", etc that I need to rummage through the headers to
translate properly.
Well ... After some rummaging I came up with:
extern "C" {
__declspec(dllimport) void __stdcall Sleep (unsigned long dwMilliseconds);
}
How does that look? It seems to work.
And it shaves about six seconds (about 40%) off of the compilation
time of a small, three-file test program. (Oh, well ... Less time to
read xkcd ... http://xkcd.com/303/)
Thanks.
