> I would remove the "\|\| defined(__BORLANDC__) \|\| defined(__WATCOMC__) \|\| defined(__DJGPP__)" part, since it's probably for MSDOS variants of those compilers. I agree, but IMO it is unrelated to this issue. Jeffrey wants to support a new C compiler (OpenWatcom) on Windows, not drop support of MS-DOS or old C compiler. I created the issue #22591 to drop support of MS-DOS specific code.
