Miniz started including windows.h from version 3.0.0 and on when compiling for Windows using MSVC.
windows.h header file is known to conflict with C++ std namespace by defining its own min/max macros. It is a common practice to disable these ancient macros in windows.h by declaring NOMINMAX macro prior to including windows.h in code.
While this issue does not affect miniz directly due to the fact that it is straight-C code and it does not use min/max from C++ std namespace, it does affect other projects like miniz-cpp which wrap and amalgamate miniz and then both compile in C++ mode and use min/max from std namespace.
It is therefore proposed to prefix inclusion of windows.h in miniz_zip.c by the following lines:
#ifndef NOMINMAX
#define NOMINMAX
#endif
Summary:
Added conditional macro definition to prevent MSVC compiler warning C5105 when compiling for Windows in straight C mode
Details:
Since version 3.0.0 miniz_zip.c includes windows.h header file when compiling for Windows using MSVC. However, when compiling miniz_zip.c using MSVC17 in straight-C mode (no C++), this inclusion causes warning C5105:
winbase.h(9531,5): warning C5105: macro expansion producing 'defined' has undefined behavior
This warning is not produced when compiling in C++ mode.
In order to prevent the warning, any straight-C code that wants to include windows.h should make an additional define before including:
#ifndef __cplusplus
#define MICROSOFT_WINDOWS_WINBASE_H_DEFINE_INTERLOCKED_CPLUSPLUS_OVERLOADS 0
#endif
#include <windows.h>
Code Quality (Avoid Integer Overflow): Ensure correct order of integer size promotion when doing additions by placing the mz_uint64 value first or explicitly casting the first value to mz_uint64.
/usr/share/pkgconfig should be used for architecture independent
libraries (e.g. data or scripts), while an architecture dependent
directory like /usr/lib64/pkgconfig should be used for native
binaries.
