There are some different definitions of this API in various versions of the
Win32 toolkit headers. We use the scheme that is in the VC++ 6.0 release.
It sounds like your Borland compiler uses the "long" version of the
parameters instead of the "void*" scheme. You'll just have to change the
casts of the parameters to what the Borland compiler needs. Its unfortunate
that various vendors have chosen to use different signatures for this API,
and that MS has even changed it now between versions of the OS (Win2000
uses the "long" style.)
Perhaps, for the next release, we'll try to figure out the magic sequence
of #if's to make this work everywhere.

Hi,
trying to compile under builder 5 I am getting the follwing errors:

, const void* const toCompare)
--cut out not relevant stuff
#else

// Note we have to cast off the constness of some of these because

return ::InterlockedCompareExchange

toFill
, (void*)newValue
, (void*)toCompare
); ----line 621
#endif
}
have looked at the source and can not see how this would work!!
any help is greatly appreciated
