\page win_import Windows Import Guard
|
|
|
|
Windows is shitty for the programmer who is familiar with UNIX programming.
|
|
Due to legacy reason, Windows defines various things which are not compatible with UNIX or standard C++ programming.
|
|
|
|
\section win_import__usage Usage
|
|
|
|
YYCC has a way to solve the issue introduced above.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
#if YYCC_OS == YYCC_OS_WINDOWS
|
|
#include <WinImportPrefix.hpp>
|
|
#include <Windows.h>
|
|
#include "other_header_depend_on_windows.h"
|
|
#include <WinImportSuffix.hpp>
|
|
#endif
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The including of WinImportPrefix.hpp and WinImportSuffix.hpp is a pair.
|
|
They just like a guard bracket the include operation of Windows related headers,
|
|
to keep all Windows shitty contents will not be leaked outside.
|
|
|
|
This guard can solve following issues:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Programmer can not use \c std::max and \c std::min normally.
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Windows defines \c MAX and \c MIN as macros for personal use. This is why this happened.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Guard defines some special macros to tell Windows do not create these 2 macros.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Programmer will not be affected by the automatical rename of \c GetObject, \c GetClassName and etc.
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>These are all macros for Windows personal use to automatically redirect calling to A function and W function by compiling environment.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Guard \c \#undef these annoy macros.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Compiler throw annoy warnings and errors when using specific standard library functions.
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>MSVC will throw warnings and errors when you are using Microsoft so-called \e depracted or \e unsafe standard library functions.</LI>
|
|
<LI>YYCCInternal.hpp, which has been included by this pair, defines some macros to purge these warnings and errors out.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
\section win_import__notes Notes
|
|
|
|
If you have other header files which are strongly depend on Windows header,
|
|
you should put them into this bracket at the same time like example did.
|
|
Because this guard operate some Windows macros as we introduced above.
|
|
The headers depending on Windows may throw error if you put them outside of this pair.
|
|
|
|
Please note WinImportPrefix.hpp and WinImportSuffix.hpp can be included multiple times.
|
|
Because they do not have the proprocessor command like <I>\#pragma once</I> or etc to make sure they only can be included once.
|
|
That's by design. Because we actually may use this pair multiple times.
|
|
The only thing you should pledge is that you must make sure they are presented by pair.
|
|
|
|
This guard is Windows specific.
|
|
It does nothing if you accidently use it in other platforms such as Linux,
|
|
because the headers use \c \#if to check environment out and will do nothing in non-Windows environment.
|
|
However, we still highly recommend you use this pair with platform checker bracket like example does,
|
|
if your program need to be run on multiple platforms.
