This is getting interesting - I tried my hand at it and have
some positive results to show you - I was able to compile the
SWT native sources from SWT 2.0.52 (Eclipse 2.0.2) using
MinGW itself!
What are the chances of the minGW people adding these missing symbols get to
"w32api" in a (hopefully not too) distant future? If they then get added,
will these additions break our patched win32/commctrl.h and swt/structs.h?
I wouldn't like to reverse or move your patches in the future ...
The chances are high - especially if someone can submit them as patches
to the mingw-patches list. ;-)
The Win32 API is a humungous beast and considering that w32api is a
ground-up effort to emulate Win32 headers for Cygwin/MinGW, some things
are bound to be left out - when people discover some piece missing, they
are welcome to submit them as patches as long as they don't lift it
straight off a vendor's headers.
