The core implementation details are described in win32/nice.c for values sent to proc_nice(), these can however be discussed to maybe comply with those of wmic, Anatol, thoughts?
The test supplied uses wmic for testing the functionality, it could potentially fail on systems where either wmic is not available or the system language is not english (as Microsoft tends to translate even CLI programs).
GD:
- PrintWindow() is available as of Windows XP, it requires linking to User32.lib, which config.w32 for ext/gd already.
CLI:
- The borrowed functions from PostgreSQL to set the titles of the console window uses SetConsoleTitle() and GetConsoleTitle(), both are available as of Windows 2000 from Kernel32.lib which we already are linking against.
Standard:
- The disk space utility functions uses GetDiskFreeSpaceExA() which is available as of Windows XP, again links to Kernel32.lib.
- The symlink() PHP function uses CreateSymbolicLinkA() which is available from Windows Vista, again from Kernel32.lib.
- php_get_windows_name() in info.c uses GetNativeSystemInfo() which is available as of Windows XP and GetProductInfo() which is available as of Windows Vista, both are again from Kernel32.lib.
Notes:
- ext/interbase & ext/pdo_firebird uses GetProcAddress(), I'm not entirely sure how to handle this one.
- ext/sqlite3, this is apart of the bundled libsqlite3, I don't really wanna play around with our bundled libs and make it a bigger issue for those who maintain and upgrade them.
- ext/readline, the call to GetProcAddress() here does not do any system calls, so it is left as is.
- win32/ioutil.c uses GetProcAddress(), but the function it attempts to load (PathCchCanonicalizeEx()) is only available from Windows 8 and greater (Pathcch.lib linkage).
- win32/time.c uses GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() which is available from Windows 8 and greater to get the current system date and time which the highest possible precision and falls back to GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() (available as of Windows 2000), again Kernel32.lib, the GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() is left in a GetProcAddress().
