The Object Windows Library (OWL) is a C++ object-oriented application framework designed to simplify desktop application development for Windows and (some releases) OS/2. OWL was introduced by Borland in 1991 and eventually deprecated in 1997 in favor of their Visual Component Library (VCL).
The Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Windows SDK support a collection of shared libraries that software can use to access the Windows API.This article provides an overview of the core libraries that are included with every modern Windows installation, on top of which most Windows applications are built.
In the above example, the function Base<Derived>::interface(), though declared before the existence of the struct Derived is known by the compiler (i.e., before Derived is declared), is not actually instantiated by the compiler until it is actually called by some later code which occurs after the declaration of Derived (not shown in the above ...
In the thiscall section, you stated "Windows API functions don't have a this pointer!", well, the section was already talking about *C++ member functions*, and non-static was obviously implicit but should be noted. I have reverted to Letdorf's version, though I agree that Windows functions can be misleading.
windows.h is a source code header file that Microsoft provides for the development of programs that access the Windows API (WinAPI) via C language syntax. It declares the WinAPI functions, associated data types and common macros. Access to WinAPI can be enabled for a C or C++ program by including it into a source file: #include <windows.h>
Pointers are returned in EAX on 32-bit systems and in AX in 16-bit systems. Strings are returned in a temporary location pointed by the @Result symbol. This calling convention was common in the following 16-bit APIs: OS/2 1.x, Microsoft Windows 3.x, and Borland Delphi version 1.x.
Microsoft Visual C++ Cross-Development Edition for the Macintosh was an add-on for Visual C++ that introduced the Windows Portability Library, originally known as Windows Library for Macintosh [16]: 17 or Windows Layer for the Macintosh (WLM), [17]: 16 allowing developers to write applications against the Win32 and MFC APIs that could be ...
Windows Template Library (WTL) is a free software, object-oriented C++ template library for Win32 development. WTL was created by Microsoft employee Nenad Stefanovic for internal use and later released as an unsupported add-on to Visual Studio and the Win32 Framework SDK.
