Hi,
I'm currently testing x32-4.8.1-release-win32-dwarf-rev4 and am planning
to migrate away from the MinGW.org distribution. It all seems to work
fine except for one major showstopper:
My application is supporting Windows XP upwards, but some Windows
features are not yet available on XP. Therefore I load them dynamically
via Win32 GetProcAddress (e.g. SetFileInformationByHandle). This works
fine except that the enums and structures required, are if-defed away by
mingw-32!
For example: minwinbase.h:
#if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600
typedef enum _FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS {
FileBasicInfo /* is zero? */,
FileStandardInfo,
FileNameInfo,
FileRenameInfo,
FileDispositionInfo,
FileAllocationInfo,
FileEndOfFileInfo,
FileStreamInfo,
FileCompressionInfo,
FileAttributeTagInfo,
FileIdBothDirectoryInfo,
FileIdBothDirectoryRestartInfo,
FileIoPriorityHintInfo,
FileRemoteProtocolInfo,
FileFullDirectoryInfo,
FileFullDirectoryRestartInfo,
#if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0602
FileStorageInfo,
FileAlignmentInfo,
FileIdInfo,
FileIdExtdDirectoryInfo,
FileIdExtdDirectoryRestartInfo,
#endif
MaximumFileInfoByHandleClass
} FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS, *PFILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS;
#endif
I can't use this enum because _WIN32_WINNT is kept at the default value
0x0502 (XP). Therefore I suggest to remove those #ifdefs from
structures, but only place them around the functions!
Best, Zenju
