[Flac-dev] FLAC C API / Visual Studio 2008 FILE* Issue

[Stuart Fisher]

I haven't done any FLAC development for some time now, but I've around 25 years experience of working with libc and I don't really agree with Ben's view.

You're talking about a binary compatibility issue and I'd be surprised if Microsoft had changed something in the library to break it. OS companies usually only break binary compatibility if they absolutely have to. Having said that, one of the things that is putting me off upgrading to Windows 7 is the fact they have felt the need to include some sort of "Windows XP emulator". Yes I'm still on Windows XP!!
