This file describes known problems (incompatibilities, unsupported
features, errors, etc.).
If you seek help (usage help, examples, etc.), it's better to read 
netwib-5.22.0-doc_html.tgz.

Problems described in this file are (if you encounter an unknown problem,
thanks for contacting me, as explained in ./doc/problemreport.txt) :

WHILE COMPILING
 1: [Windows] Warning in Visual C++ 6: '_RPC_ASYNC_STATE' : named type
    definition in parentheses.
 2: [Windows] Warning in Visual C++ 6: nonstandard extension used : nameless
    struct/union.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 1 :
  Problem synthesis :
    Warning in Visual C++ 6: '_RPC_ASYNC_STATE' : named type
    definition in parentheses.
  Environment affected by the problem :
    Visual C++ 6
  What's causing the problem :
    Visual's own include files are not compliant when compiling with high
    level of warnings.
    
    The warnings are:
    rpcasync.h(45) : C4115: '_RPC_ASYNC_STATE' : named type definition in
    parentheses
    winioctl.h(2113) : C4201: nonstandard extension used : nameless struct/union
    winioctl.h(2114) : C4201: nonstandard extension used : nameless struct/union
    winioctl.h(2117) : C4201: nonstandard extension used : nameless struct/union

    in FD_SET(winsock2.h): warning C4018: '==' : signed/unsigned mismatch
    in FD_SET(winsock2.h): warning C4018: '==' : signed/unsigned mismatch
  Solution 1 :
    You may want to modify the Visual include files to make them compliant:

  Solution 2 :
    The other solution is to downgrade the error level, but you might miss
    important errors if you write your own code :
      Project
      Settings
      C/C++
      Warning level / or uncheck warning as errors
