Checking the Windows API version doesn't really give much information anyway. The Windows API has undergone almost no changes since its inception (which is why software written for the win32api a decade ago continues to work flawlessly). Pretty much it only is a rough indicator of when Microsoft has lost lawsuits which required them to move some "secret" api's that they used to make only their own products work better available for general use.
Whatever it is that is telling you the API is deprecated is lying to you. It is not deprecated and will continue to function forwards forever as long as there is a windows api. WHat it is telling you is that if the windows version is later than 8.1 it will return the compile target version rather than the actual version of the OS, since the version of the OS is irrelevant. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724451(v=vs.85).aspx > -----Original Message----- > From: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] > On Behalf Of Mark Benningfield > Sent: Friday, 4 November, 2016 19:29 > To: sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org > Subject: [sqlite] deprecated windows OS calls > > Hello all. > > I'm building SQLite from the amalgamation: > > #define SQLITE_VERSION "3.14.1" > #define SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER 3014001 > #define SQLITE_SOURCE_ID "2016-08-11 18:53:32 > a12d8059770df4bca59e321c266410344242bf7b" > > I'm getting the following compiler warnings: > > Warning C4996 'GetVersionExA': was declared deprecated sqlite3 > Warning C4996 'GetVersionExW': was declared deprecated sqlite3 > > Is this something I should be concerned about with deployment on Windows > 8/10 boxes? > > Mark Benningfield > > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org > http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
