That's effectively what MinGW does anyway, (although it does it through an import library mapping from the undecorated POSIX name, to the decorated name exported by MSVCRT.DLL). The upshot is that, when you call stat() in a Windows program compiled by MinGW's GCC, you actually call the function provided by Microsoft themselves, with whatever limitations that imposes. -- Regards, Keith. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
