You haven't demonstrated that it works.

smapi/compiler.h:

#elif defined(__MINGW32__)

...

int unlock(int handle, long ofs, long length);
int lock(int handle, long ofs, long length);

#elif ...


smapi/locking.c:

#elif defined(__MINGW32__) || (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER >= 1200))

...

int lock(int handle, long ofs, long length)
{
    long offset = tell(handle);
    int r;

    if (offset == -1)
        return -1;


    lseek(handle, ofs, SEEK_SET);
    r = _locking(handle, 2, length);
    lseek(handle, offset, SEEK_SET);

    if  (r)
       return -1;

    return 0;
}

And so it uses _locking(), which completely fails as I showed in a previous
message.  Now, what I want to know is, did it work for the person who wrote
it, or did they just not bother to test that, and if not, why not, and if
so, why won't it work for me!
