[Mingw-users] InterlockedIncrement declared differently in mingw...

[leon z. <leo...@gm...>]

in mingw's include dir:
winbase.h declares InterlockedIncrement as:
LONG WINAPI InterlockedIncrement(LPLONG);

but in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683614.aspx
it is declared as
LONG __cdecl InterlockedIncrement(
  LONG volatile* Addend
);

The code which follows the MS declarations (i.e. passes a pointer to
volatile int) does no build by default on mingw (cannot coerce
"pointer to int" to "pointer to volatile int")...

anyway - am wondering why is there a difference in prototyping between
mingw and MS ?
