[GD-Windows] Strict ANSI and <windows.h>

From: Brian H. <bri...@py...> - 2002-11-01 21:24:36

I just tried compiling my project with strict ANSI (no language
extensions) enabled in MSVC 6, and since it includes <windows.h> it
barfs violently.

Is there a workaround for this by any chance?  I looked at #pragma and
didn't see anything.

The sucky part of MSVC version 6 (and the Microsoft headers) is that 
there's no way of getting BOTH conformant language AND <windows.h> at 
the same time.

If you're worrying about the for() scoping problem, then the work-around 
is to put this in some of your common headers (like StdAfx.h):

// work-around for brain-dead MSVC for scoping problem
#define for if(0);else for

Cheers,
