The documentation doesn't say it's allowed but they are allowed by the Windows Application Certification Kit and the 19041 Windows SDK.
It is not allowed in older SDK. It won't compile or won't link. The target DLL [1] will likely not have the function, so it should not be used when targeting older Windows 10 versions in UWP mode. We already have api-ms-win-core-file-l2-1-0 in mincore and windowsapp. [1] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/win32-and-com/win32-apis#apis-from-api-ms-win-core-file-l2-1-0dll --- mingw-w64-headers/include/winbase.h | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mingw-w64-headers/include/winbase.h b/mingw-w64-headers/include/winbase.h index 6e114e28f..0f1ed28c0 100644 --- a/mingw-w64-headers/include/winbase.h +++ b/mingw-w64-headers/include/winbase.h @@ -2168,12 +2168,14 @@ typedef enum FILE_FLUSH_MODE { #endif /* WINAPI_FAMILY_PARTITION (WINAPI_PARTITION_APP) */ -#if WINAPI_FAMILY_PARTITION (WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP) +#if WINAPI_FAMILY_PARTITION (WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP) || NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN10_VB WINBASEAPI WINBOOL WINAPI CreateDirectoryExA (LPCSTR lpTemplateDirectory, LPCSTR lpNewDirectory, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes); WINBASEAPI WINBOOL WINAPI CreateDirectoryExW (LPCWSTR lpTemplateDirectory, LPCWSTR lpNewDirectory, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes); #define CreateDirectoryEx __MINGW_NAME_AW(CreateDirectoryEx) +#endif +#if WINAPI_FAMILY_PARTITION (WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP) #if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600 WINBASEAPI WINBOOL WINAPI CreateDirectoryTransactedA (LPCSTR lpTemplateDirectory, LPCSTR lpNewDirectory, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes, HANDLE hTransaction); WINBASEAPI WINBOOL WINAPI CreateDirectoryTransactedW (LPCWSTR lpTemplateDirectory, LPCWSTR lpNewDirectory, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes, HANDLE hTransaction); -- 2.39.2 _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
