It shows a snip from the header file >Then that's not my reading of it, because it begins with only the value for Windows 10, without any reference to MSVC header files. And this page: > https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/using-the-windows-headers >shows the values in a way that doesn't bind them to any particular MSVC header file. That one is much better; >And that's even before we consider the fact that the value is available in quite a few free software implementations, and we can take it from there instead. Those can be problematic - some of them do contain information nipped out of Windows headers and it is official MinGW policy that any patches coming from such sources will be unconditionally rejected. >So I don't think I see the problem that bothers you. _______________________________________________ MinGW-Users mailing list MinGW****@lists***** This list observes the Posting Etiquette, as described at https://mingw.osdn.io/index.html?page=mailing.html#list-etiquette.
