RE: [INTERNALS-WIN] Re: ext/odbc no longer builds under VC6

Hi Pierre,

There is at least one optimization which we did which will not work with VC6. This is lowercasing via _tolower_l(). There are also some additional compiler differences that we discovered as we made performance improvements to PHP on Windows. So while it's obviously interesting that you're seeing a big difference between VC6 Standard vs. Enterprise I think longer term it doesn't make a real difference as VC8 and later support are definitely the way to go for FastCGI. Btw, we discovered no noticeable difference between VC8 and VC9 so have stuck with VC8 for now...

Re: Steph having some build problems. I think it'd be helpful if you had instructions on how to check out the build environment and the libraries so that people who want to build on Windows like Steph are able to do so easily, with the latest version and no guess work. I don't think it necessarily requires access to the snaps box but the configuration should be accessible. As I've already mentioned in the past, we'd be more than happy to assist if you need any help.

Cheers,

Andi
