Re: [Mingw-users] Fixing UNICODE related macros in w32api headers

[Igor Mikolic-T. <ig...@al...>]

Hi,

Thanks again for all the ideas.  I've got a first cut at the macros that 
will generate the inlined function versions of the current macros.  Rather 
than attach the rather messy macros here, I've published the file that 
contains them at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/igormt/w32api_inline.html

This web page also summarizes my thoughts so far on how to go about 
this.  Feedback appreciated.

I'm going to first try these ideas out on winuser.h because it is probably 
the biggest offender.  So it should be a good example to actually use for 
testing and experimenting.  Hopefully this file will let us see the effects 
on build speed, debugging, the non-optimized overhead, etc.  Plus verify 
that it works okay with the various GCC versions and settings.  If the 
results of testing winuser.h are satisfactory, I'll tackle the other header 
files and submit a formal patch.

Please take a look at the macros and let me know if there are perhaps 
better ways to accomplish the same thing.  I'll try to get an inlined 
version of winuser.h done this weekend.  I'll post a note here when it's 
ready for downloading.

Igor
