Bug ID: 64384
Summary: mingw-w64: stdcall function returning an aggregate is
incompatible with MS ABI
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: mity at morous dot org
When using COM interface (i.e. calling stdcall function/method), aggregates are
returned through an implicit parameter after the this/interface pointer,
according to MS ABI. However it is not so when using gcc.
This issue manifests itself when e.g. calling ID2D1RenderTarget::GetSize() from
<d2d1.h> as discussed here:

Wine team encountered the issue too, they seem to "solve" the issue on their
side by ugly hacks and changing prototypes of the relevant functions for now:
