ObPedantic: If you are trying to open "window" (whatever that is; my
copy of the ISO C standard makes no mention of any such thing, or of a
<windows.h> header file), you've already stepped outside of the bounds
of ISO C.
But I understand what you're trying to do: use the MSWindows OS, but
have the compiler warn about non-ISO language constructs (as opposed
to library issues). I think you can actually accomplish this, but it
requires a lot #pragma to activate and deactivate various warnings, and
isn't worth the effort. A better choice is to run the code through "gcc
-Wall" (not "--pedantic") on a system with the windows header files
copied over. You'll still get some flaky warnings, but you'll also pick
up some of your screw ups.
