First, we need a value for _WIN32_WINNT that specifies Windows 10, in sdkddkver.h: #define _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10 0x0A00 Second, we need functions, data structures, and macros to create and update lists of attributes for process and thread creation. These are: InitializeProcThreadAttributeList function UpdateProcThreadAttribute function DeleteProcThreadAttributeList function PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST structure STARTUPINFOEX structure PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE macro Other PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_* macros These seem to be supported since Windows 7, with the exception of PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE, which is only supported since Windows 10, and STARTUPINFOEX, which is supported since Vista. I think the proper place for them is in the winbase.h header file. We also need the EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT flag for the CreateProcess function (this flag is supported since Vista and should be in winbase.h). And finally, we need the functions, data types, and macros to manipulate pseudo-consoles, available only since Windows 10: CreatePseudoConsole function ClosePseudoConsole function ResizePseudoConsole function HPCON data type Thanks in advance for providing these. -- Ticket information of MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows project MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows Project is hosted on OSDN Project URL: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ OSDN: https://osdn.net URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/41567 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=3917&tid=41567
