_wctype is a global variable exported from CRT library and therefore has to be always accessed by the import symbol via __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype).
There is no CRT function which could return pointer to this variable. _wctype variable is present since msvcr70.dll and also since Windows Server 2003 version of msvcrt.dll. It is present also in UCRT. For older versions there is no fallback or emulation. --- mingw-w64-headers/crt/ctype.h | 4 ---- mingw-w64-headers/crt/wchar.h | 4 ---- mingw-w64-headers/crt/wctype.h | 4 ---- 3 files changed, 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/mingw-w64-headers/crt/ctype.h b/mingw-w64-headers/crt/ctype.h index 1fb3fbba20d4..d4f3ce26d3f2 100644 --- a/mingw-w64-headers/crt/ctype.h +++ b/mingw-w64-headers/crt/ctype.h @@ -36,12 +36,8 @@ extern "C" { #define _CRT_WCTYPEDATA_DEFINED #ifndef _CTYPE_DISABLE_MACROS #if !defined(_wctype) && defined(_CRT_USE_WINAPI_FAMILY_DESKTOP_APP) -#ifdef _MSVCRT_ - extern const unsigned short *_wctype; -#else extern const unsigned short ** __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype); #define _wctype (* __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype)) -#endif #endif _CRTIMP const wctype_t * __cdecl __pwctype_func(void); diff --git a/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wchar.h b/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wchar.h index c219e1fee9a8..8f183c16f106 100644 --- a/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wchar.h +++ b/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wchar.h @@ -167,12 +167,8 @@ _CRTIMP FILE *__cdecl __acrt_iob_func(unsigned index); #define _CRT_WCTYPEDATA_DEFINED #ifndef _CTYPE_DISABLE_MACROS #if !defined(_wctype) && defined(_CRT_USE_WINAPI_FAMILY_DESKTOP_APP) -#ifdef _MSVCRT_ - extern const unsigned short *_wctype; -#else extern const unsigned short ** __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype); #define _wctype (* __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype)) -#endif #endif _CRTIMP const wctype_t * __cdecl __pwctype_func(void); diff --git a/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wctype.h b/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wctype.h index a9c8afeebc70..b45ba26c9e53 100644 --- a/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wctype.h +++ b/mingw-w64-headers/crt/wctype.h @@ -59,12 +59,8 @@ extern "C" { #define _CRT_WCTYPEDATA_DEFINED #ifndef _CTYPE_DISABLE_MACROS #if !defined(_wctype) && defined(_CRT_USE_WINAPI_FAMILY_DESKTOP_APP) -#ifdef _MSVCRT_ - extern const unsigned short *_wctype; -#else extern const unsigned short ** __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype); #define _wctype (* __MINGW_IMP_SYMBOL(_wctype)) -#endif #endif _CRTIMP const wctype_t * __cdecl __pwctype_func(void); -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
