    This adds MSVC builds built on Linux using wine. This requires some settings of tools and flags because the autotools support for MSVC is naturally somewhat limited.

    The advantage of this approach is that it is compatible with our existing CI scripts, so there’s no need to write a Windows CI script (in PowerShell or similar). If we want to test building and running on Windows native (e.g., as supported by Cirrus CI) we could still do this in the future.

    Another advantage of this approach is that contributors can simply use the docker image if they need a MSVC installation in a non-Windows environment.

  24. configure: Don't abort if the compiler does not define __STDC__ 
    This removes a check for $ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 which is set by AC_PROG_CC
if defined(__STDC__) in the preprocessor. (Standard compliant compilers
are supposed to define __STDC__ to 1 but the value is actually not
checked here.)

Unfortunately, MSVC doesn't define it, so configure fails for MSVC.

This check is not very useful in practice. Over 30 years after C89 has
been released, there are no C compilers out there that are not
sufficiently compliant with C89 for the project. The only practically
relevant case was that the check rejected C++ compilers. A different
method to reject C++ compilers will be introduced in a later commit.

    Is it intended that I don’t see this error with g++ unless I also compile with -fpermissive? This is the case because g++ aborts earlier due to other errors. So if someone would accidentally use g++ (without -fpermissive) then they may just be confused vs. having a rather clear error message as before. Not saying that this is terrible, but seems like a change from the previous behavior.
    real-or-random commented at 4:35 pm on June 28, 2022:
    Hm, I see the error with g++ though it’s buried within hundreds of others errors. I think it’s fine as long it won’t compile. And this check is better because it’s independent of autotools (and will work when compiling manually, etc.)
    jonasnick commented at 5:42 pm on June 28, 2022:

    Right, ok.

    Instead of

    why not set up the conditions like this

    That’s certainly closer to what we have now. When I wrote this, I thought it’s a good idea not to fiddle with the CFLAGS at all if this not GCC or compatible (for example, your random compiler X may not support any of these flags but also not error out and just spit out warning, so we’ll add all of them wrongly).

    or

    0if test "x$GCC" = "xyes"; then ...
1if test x"$GCC" != x"yes" && test x"$build_windows" = x"yes"; then
2else error("something is wrong")

    That would always error out on platforms other than Windows (if I’m not mistaken).

    jonasnick commented at 5:42 pm on June 28, 2022:

    Yeah that makes sense. Just wanted to make sure this wasn’t by accident.

    That would always error out on platforms other than Windows

    I believe I intended the second if to be an else if. Anyway, erroring out is unnecessary.

    Do you think -WX (treat warnings as errors) would be too fragile?
    real-or-random commented at 3:49 pm on June 28, 2022:

    This is done a few lines above in WERROR_CFLAGS.

    IIRC, the reason for a separate variable is that we don’t want to set it in CFLAGS, at least for gcc and compatible, because that would override the default CFLAGS of -O2 -g. This will make testing the defaults difficult and then we’d need to pass -g manually. Not this PR but I can add a comment that clarifies this.

    jonasnick commented at 5:42 pm on June 28, 2022:
    Ah sorry I missed this. There’s a comment in configure.ac which is sufficient imo.

    Did you try the MSVC -Za flag which according to the docs should set __STDC__? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/za-ze-disable-language-extensions?view=msvc-170)
    real-or-random commented at 4:33 pm on June 28, 2022:

    We could use different flags for the examples but this will be more complex, I think.

Another advantage of this approach is that contributors can simply use
the docker image if they need a MSVC installation in a non-Windows
