wine users - Aug 2001 - WineLib Warning?

When compiling the following line of code using WineLib 20010731 
you get a warning message.

  // generates a warning
  CompareString(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, dwFlags, s1, -1, s2, -1);

These warning relates to the defines found in 
include/winbase.h file where we have:

 UINT WINAPI CompareStringA(DWORD,DWORD,LPCSTR,DWORD,LPCSTR,DWORD);
 UINT WINAPI CompareStringW(DWORD,DWORD,LPCWSTR,DWORD,LPCWSTR,DWORD);

In the Borland 5.2 include file these API's are defined as:

 int WINAPI CompareStringA(LCID, DWORD, LPCSTR, int, LPCSTR, int);
 int WINAPI CompareStringW(LCID, DWORD, LPCSTR, int, LPCSTR, int);

and this is what the Borland Windows SDK help file says:

  int CompareString(
      LCID  Locale,
      DWORD  dwCmpFlags,
      LPCTSTR  lpString1,
      int  cchCount1,	
      LPCTSTR  lpString2,
      int  cchCount2 	
     );

Is the define in the Wine headers wrong?

the correct definitions should be:
int WINAPI CompareStringA(LCID, DWORD, LPCSTR, int, LPCSTR, int);
int WINAPI CompareStringW(LCID, DWORD, LPCWSTR, int, LPCSTR, int);
you can submit the patch to wine-patches
