[PATCH 2/3] getpwuid(mingw): provide a better default for the user name

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>

We do have the excellent GetUserInfoEx() function to obtain more
detailed information of the current user (if the user is part of a
Windows domain); Let's use it.

Suggested by Lutz Roeder.

To avoid the cost of loading Secur32.dll (even lazily, loading DLLs
takes a non-neglibile amount of time), we use the established technique
to load DLLs only when, and if, needed.
