<div class="markdown_content"><p>One of the simh project's maintainers decided to use the name CreateVirtualDisk() within the simulated disk code, which causes a name conflict with MinGW-w64's windows.h (but not MS's windows.h.) windows.h #include's virtdisk.h, where there is another declaration of CreateVirtualDisk().</p> <p>The simh project maintainer insists that MinGW-w64 (and -w32) have to fix windows.h.</p> <p>(a) What's the impact of removing the virtdisk.h #include from windows.h?<br/> (b) Can virtdisk.h be removed from windows.h?</p></div>
