[vlc-devel] how can i change ssize_t in "typedef ssize_t (*libvlc_media_read_cb)(void *opaque, unsigned char *buf, size_t len); " to compile in vs2019

[Alexandre Janniaux]

Hi,

ssize_t (and size_t iirc) are not defined by msvc headers,
but the Windows SDK defines SIZE_T and SSIZE_T, so you can
typedef/define them when compiling with MSVC, before
including VLC headers.

Other windows developers might have a more precise code
snippet but I fear they might be unavailable currently.

Regards,
