[AD] Allegro 4.0.3rc1+ MFC, bug?

["Oscar Giner" <o_giner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

just the other day, when trying to compile an old (I mean a pair of months 
old) MFC + Allegro program, I couldn't. I get this error from MSVC6:

----
Compiling...
AlFunc.cpp
C:\Programa\VStudio\VC98\INCLUDE\winbase.h(1080) : error C2731: 'WinMain' : 
function cannot be overloaded
       C:\Programa\VStudio\VC98\INCLUDE\winbase.h(1075) : see declaration 
of 'WinMain'
C:\Programa\VStudio\VC98\INCLUDE\winbase.h(1080) : error C2733: second C 
linkage of overloaded function 'WinMain' not allowed
       C:\Programa\VStudio\VC98\INCLUDE\winbase.h(1075) : see declaration 
of 'WinMain'
----

This program used to compile with previous Allegro versions (4.0.x). In fact 
I still have the executable, and it's linked against Allegro 4.0.x dll, 
working if I use 4.0.3 dll.

I post it at allegro.cc and one of the answers I get is that I should define 
ALLEGRO_NO_MAGIC_MAIN. I tried it, and it compiles! Which is funny, because 
this wasn't needed before, breaking forward API compativility.


Oscar.
