Warning about redefinition of SLIST_ENTRY about libxlsxwriter HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Ulrich,

I don't see that warning using this project in MSVC 2013.

The SLIST_ENTRY is a macro definition of a struct and it comes from the FreeBSD/Linux header queue.h which is included with libxlsxwriter.

So I think you will just have to live with this warning in MSVC 2010.

Interesting. Maybe this warning is related to the Windows SDK in use - which might be different for MSVC 2013.

Some googling reveals that other projects seem to be affected, too. Some define a different symbol to avoid the warning. I also found a version of queue.h, which explicitly undefines the symbol before redefining it. However, the latter only works if windows.h is included before queue.h. For libxlsxwriter this would currently not work, since windows.h is included afterwards.

Personally, I can live with the warning. So feel free to close this issue.

Okay. Thanks for the followup. Closing.

Hi,

I pushed a fix for this warning to master. Basically it undefs the macro before including windows.h.

When you get a chance you can try it and let me know if it fixes the warning on Windows.

Yes, this eliminates the warning.
