I believe that the appropriate declarations of InitializeCriticalSection, DeleteCriticalSection, EnterCriticalSection, LeaveCriticalSection could be provided explicitly in this file and hence avoid including windows.h and the subsequent namespace 'pollution'. An alternative of using a Boost multithreading library is suggested in the documentation. This would be ideal, but my proposal would solve problem now, relatively effortlessly. PS. I did a quick edit and got it to work (at least on Vista). The change to the if-endif block is shown below. It could be done much better.
# ifdef BOOST_WINDOWS
//#include<windows.h>
typedef char CRITICAL_SECTION[24]; //24 is sizeof(CRITICAL_SECTION) !
Can you guarantee that this is the correct size on all systems? Are you sure that there are no alignment problems?
typedef CRITICAL_SECTION *LPCRITICAL_SECTION;
#define WINAPI __stdcall
extern void WINAPI InitializeCriticalSection( __out LPCRITICAL_SECTION lpCriticalSection );
Does this actually link? I would think that it would need to be extern "C". In Christ, Steven Watanabe
