Re: [Libpgf-devel] Why use of MFC and Windows API?

[Stamm C. <chr...@fh...>]

Hi Mateusz 

libpgf is originally a Windows project used in several MFC applications. The POSIX compatibility layer has been developed later for non-Windows platforms. Using the POSIX compatibility layer also on Windows would create an additional and needless indirection.

Betreff: [Libpgf-devel] Why use of MFC and Windows API?

Hi,

It's my first post, so I'd like to say hello to all?

I'm reading the libpgf implementation, namely PGFplatform.h file.
I'm curious what's the reason of use of MFC or Windows API instead of
file I/O functions from POSIX comatibility layer provided by Visual C++,
it is _read, _write, _lseek and related functions?

Best regards,
