Ticket details:
Hi!
Windows introduced function `rand_s` some time and while I find mention of it
in MinGW's `msvcrt-xref.pdf` I cannot find a signature for it in w32api 5.2.2
headers. Are there plans to add a prototype to MinGW? We're about to define a
prototype in https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/pull/356/files for MinGW in
Expat ourselves now but it seems like the real fix would be to have it in MinGW
for everyone — what do you think?
On a side note, msvcrt-xref.pdf says that rand_s is not contained in Windows XP
but contained in Windows Vista an after. The way I read the MS docs they imply
availability in Windows XP but it might be wishful thinking — if you know for
sure, I'd be interested in more details.
Thanks and best, Sebastian
