The question is, whether it still makes sense to provide that define<br>
when MinGW already provides one. I can imagine, though, that history<br>
proved the MinGW-provided definition to be volatile.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Volatilty was one reason. Another one is that ECL is supposed to provide the kind of "host" as a macro (mingw, cygwin, etc). In the last months I have come to realize that this is not good practice, for it pollutes the preprocessor namespace. I would say moving towards more standard macros, and providing some sanity checks (that these names do not change or disappear) would be the desird route.</div>
