Instructions to use MS standard headers on PellesC

[frankie]

This utility automatically executes the required setup to use MS header files from SDK-V7.1 distribution.
To use the utility you need an installed copy of MS SDK V.7 on your machine.

The tool automatically:

• Backup your current PellesC include directory & files
• Copy MS Headers from your SDK-7.1 installation to PellesC include
• Patch the headers files.

What you have to do is:

• Download the tool MS-Headers.zip from this post, create a folder on your PC wherever you like and unzip the tool.
• Doubleclick the executable 'MS-Headers.exe'. It detects automatically the location for SDK and PellesC installations, if they are not correct you can change them manually using the buttons on the right of the address.
• When ready press 'Copy Files' button.
• The process will automaticalli create a back-up named C:\<your PellesC location>\PellesC\Include\Win.BAK with original files. If a backup already exist you will be asked for overwrite.
• Then it will copy files from SDK.
• When the copy is complete you will be asked if you want proceed with patching. Answer yes.
• After patching is complete you will be asked again if you want read the process log. Press yes if you want, it will show a txt file with a list of copyied files.
• Finished!

Now you can run PellesC and compile your programs ...

For advanced users, you can also specify a different directory for the copy without overwriting the original PellesC Include\Win. In this case you can select the directory to use for compilations changing them globally using Tools->options folders, or locally for a project changing Project options->Folders.

The Patch doesn't mask any warning. For a full detail of patches you can look into the file 'diffs.txt' that contains the modifications in patch format (as generated from diff or windiff).

This is the manual procedure (if you want do it yourself):

• Copy files from sdk to PellesC
• Get a copy of sal.h from VC or DDK or from here.
• Edit 'driverspecs.h' in a text editor, start the text replacement box then replace all
  occourrences of "(##__drv_nop" with "(__drv_nop".  Then save the file.
• Now edit 'ShellApi.h', locate the line

Code: [Select]

//          PATH                    =   c:\windows\system32;C:\windows;c:\;C:\Program Files\Compilers\Then add a space at the end of line and save the file.

10. Now edit 'stralign.h' and locate this code:

Code: [Select]

#if _STRALIGN_USE_SECURE_CRT
#define ua_wcscpy_s   wcscpy_s
#endif

__inline
PUWSTR
static
_WINDOWS_INSECURE_DEPRECATE
ua_wcscpy(
    __out_xcount("Sufficient length") PUWSTR  Destination,
    __in PCUWSTR Source
    )
{
#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable:4995)
#pragma warning(disable:4996)
#ifdef _PREFAST_
#pragma warning(disable:__WARNING_BANNED_API_USAGE) // This function (ua_wcscpy) is also tagged as insecure and deprecated
#endif // _PREFAST_
    return wcscpy(Destination, Source);
#pragma warning(pop)
}
Add inclusion of 'wchar.h' as below:

Code: [Select]

#if _STRALIGN_USE_SECURE_CRT
#define ua_wcscpy_s   wcscpy_s
#endif

#include <wchar.h>       //You have to add *only* this line

__inline
PUWSTR
static
_WINDOWS_INSECURE_DEPRECATE
ua_wcscpy(
    __out_xcount("Sufficient length") PUWSTR  Destination,
    __in PCUWSTR Source
    )
{
#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable:4995)
#pragma warning(disable:4996)
#ifdef _PREFAST_
#pragma warning(disable:__WARNING_BANNED_API_USAGE) // This function (ua_wcscpy) is also tagged as insecure and deprecated
#endif // _PREFAST_
    return wcscpy(Destination, Source);
#pragma warning(pop)
}
Save the file.

11.  Edit file 'Xenroll.h', replace the lines:

Code: [Select]

extern "C" IEnroll * WINAPI PIEnrollGetNoCOM(void);
extern "C" IEnroll2 * WINAPI PIEnroll2GetNoCOM(void);
extern "C" IEnroll4 * WINAPI PIEnroll4GetNoCOM(void);
with:

Code: [Select]

EXTERN_C IEnroll * WINAPI PIEnrollGetNoCOM(void);
EXTERN_C IEnroll2 * WINAPI PIEnroll2GetNoCOM(void);
EXTERN_C IEnroll4 * WINAPI PIEnroll4GetNoCOM(void);

12.  PellesC starting from V.5.00 impersonate itself as _MSC_VER=1100, but miss some storage-class information specifiers, defined using the keyword '__declspec'.
When using standard headers same specifiers (usefull only to C++ and for this reason not present in PellesC) are used triggering warnings. To avoid the warnings edit 'windows.h' and add defines as showed:

Code: [Select]

#ifndef _WINDOWS_
#define _WINDOWS_

#ifdef __POCC__ //Add these 3 lines for PellesC
#define __declspec(selectany) //Add All missing specifiers that you can find
#endif

#include <sdkddkver.h>

#ifndef _INC_WINDOWS
#define _INC_WINDOWS
Up to now we are defining the 'selectany' specifier as nothing. This specifier is used in C++ to override multiple constructors/destructors definitions.

13.  You have finished and can start to compile... 

The main difference using the original MS headers is the compilation time, this bloated headers requires a lot more time  .
Because MS headers doesn't have the #pragma comment(lib, ....  in many cases you have to specify manually the libraries needed.

This is a work in progress! You will not be able to compile everything.

I have patched some other files thanks to the Timo's list.
This is only a part as this is a work in progress.

[frankie]

For someone who just want to just test WSDK with separated copy of PellesC.
make these changes to Pellesc ctype.h

#ifdef _MSC_EXTENSIONS
/* for compiling with windows.h -- see Microsoft ctype.h */
#ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED
#define _WCHAR_T_DEFINED
typedef unsigned short wchar_t;
#include <wchar.h>
#endif
#pragma warn(disable: 1058 1063) // <-- add this for MS bugs
#ifdef _WIN64
#pragma warn(disable: 2195) // <-- add this for 64 bit
#endif
#endif /* _MSC_EXTENSIONS */

and copy WSDK headers with frankie's tool and libs manually.

[frankie]

New version 1.21 of the tool.
Now it backups your installation, copy the required files from SDK 7.1 and patches them.
You can download it from the first post of this thread.
The discussion for this topic is on this thread.

Known problems: sometimes the file sal.h, which is the patch as a file to add, is not created  find a copy below.
When compiling in 64 bits there are many warnings for intrinsic functions not available in PellesC. Will be corrected in next update.

[frankie]

Working version 1.25 available on the first post of the thread.
Tested on X86 and X64.
Please report bugs.
