While building PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on a stock Cygwin 1.1.4, I noticed the following inconsistency in cygwin/cygwin_dll.h: // declaration int WINAPI _cygwin_dll_entry (HANDLE h, DWORD reason, void *ptr); // definition int WINAPI _cygwin_dll_entry (HINSTANCE h, DWORD reason, void *ptr) { ... } Unless NO_STRICT is defined (which prevents STRICT from automatically being defined), HINSTANCE will not be a typedef for HANDLE: // from winnt.h #ifdef STRICT #define DECLARE_HANDLE(n) typedef struct n##__{int i;}*n #else #define DECLARE_HANDLE(n) typedef HANDLE n #endif // from windef.h DECLARE_HANDLE(HINSTANCE); Shouldn't the declaration and definition of _cygwin_dll_entry use either HANDLE or HINSTANCE consistently?
