Windows CE does not supply the ANSI version of FormatMessage (only FormatMessageW). The attached patch substitutes FormatMessageW-based code in this case.
I've applied the patch, but am concerned about the name of the BOOST_NO_ANSI_APIS macro.
For clarity, I'd prefer the name indicate that this is a Windows workaround. Perhaps BOOST_NO_WINDOWS_ANSI_API?
Is this something used by other libraries? If it is specific to Boost.System, I'd prefer BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_WINDOWS_ANSI_API.
Hum... Wouldn't it be better to use the _WIN32_WCE predefined macro? That way the user doesn't have to configure anything. --Beman
