I don't mind the patch going in, but isn't +# define _stat stat the wrong way around, or at least superfluous?You're right, it is the wrong way around. I would suspect also that if it compiles as-is under MSVC, then it is unnecessary. However, from reading the msdn docs, it seems that the correct define:# define stat _stat
In Visual Studio 2005 and later, Microsoft has deprecated the POSIX and ANSI C standard library interfaces, as well as some ANSI C++ interfaces. They won't be deleted just yet but all POSIX calls are supposed to be referred to using the Microsoft standards-compliant underscore prefix.
Since Microsoft Windows is the clear market leader, and the Microsoft .net environment is now an ISO-recognized standard, there is little need for the ANSI or POSIX APIs any more.
