From 495ed0ef2d72a6a74def296e042022479d5d07bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Paquier Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2022 13:25:45 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Make Windows 10 the minimal runtime requirement for WIN32 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit bumps the runtime value of _WIN32_WINNT to be 0x0A00 for any builds on Windows. Hence, this makes Windows 10 the minimal requirement when running PostgreSQL under WIN32, be it for builds of Cygwin, MinGW or Visual Studio. The previous minimal runtime version was either Windows Vista when building with at least Visual Studio 2015 or Windows XP for the rest. Windows 10 is the most modern version supported by Microsoft, and per discussion, as we don't have buildfarm members that run older versions anymore, this is the minimal supported version that suits better for our needs. This will actually make easier the development of some patches, two being async I/O and large page handling by avoiding a lot of compatibility gotchas, on platforms that have most likely few users anyway. It is possible to remove MIN_WINNT in win32.h and the macros IsWindowsXXXOrGreater() that were used in the code at runtime to check which version of Windows was getting used. The change in pg_locale.c comes from Juan. Note that all my tests passed, and that the CI is green. The buildfarm will quickly tell if this needs more adjustments.
