2.3.1 Notes on the translations

The Win32-Common module re-exports some names from the C-FFI module that its user may need to use directly, without needing to use (or know about) the C-FFI module itself. These names are: null-pointer, null-pointer?, pointer-address, pointer-value, pointer-value-setter, pointer-cast, <C-string>, <C-unicode-string>, destroy, and with-stack-structure.

Names that are documented as being obsolete and/or included in Win32 only for compatibility with Win16, are generally not defined in the Dylan libraries. The names excluded are listed in Section 2.11 on page 85.

The extended API macros, defined in the optional C header file WINDOWSX.H, are not supported.
