Re: [MinGW-dvlpr] gcc / Microsoft variable collision

[Chris S. <ir0...@gm...>]

Hey All,

I've come up with a possible solution:

in c++locale.h, I added #undef __out and #undef __in:

#ifdef __MINGW32__
extern "C"
int __cdecl __mingw_vsnprintf (char*, size_t n, const char*, __gnuc_va_list);
#undef __out
#undef __in
#endif

Since this guard is already existing and 2 lines seem to correct all
the issues, I don't think this is a major change, so hopefully it's
digestible by the mainline gcc folks.  Assuming this makes it in to
mainline gcc, we would still need to add a gcc version guard around
the definition of __in and __out in windef.h, but I think this is
possibly the best solution for all involved.

Thoughts?

Chris
