Those damn header files
Posted on April 21st, 2009 No commentsHere’s a list of the standard header files
These are the standard header files used by the various C and C++ standards, I’ve shown how they correspond to some of the standards. I have also shown which ones are present in Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition Service Pack 1 (VS2008 EE SP1) as well as two of the Windows SDKs.
