From: =?UTF-8?q?Matthias=20A=C3=9Fhauer?= <mha1993@live.de>

Christoph Reiter reported on the Git for Windows issue tracker[1], that
mingw_strftime() imports strftime() from ucrtbase.dll with the wrong
calling convention. It should be __cdecl instead of WINAPI, which we
always use in DECLARE_PROC_ADDR().

The MSYS2 project encountered cmake sefaults on x86 Windows caused by
the same issue in the cmake source. [2] There are no known git crashes
that where caused by this, yet, but we should try to prevent them.

We import two other non-WINAPI functions via DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(), too.

* NtSetSystemInformation() (NTAPI)
* GetUserNameExW()         (SEC_ENTRY)

NTAPI, SEC_ENTRY and WINAPI are all ususally defined as __stdcall,
but there are circumstances where they're defined differently.

Teach DECLARE_PROC_ADDR() about calling conventions and be explicit
about when we want to use which calling convention.

Import winnt.h for the definition of NTAPI and sspi.h for SEC_ENTRY
near their respective only users.

    lazyload: use correct calling conventions
    
    I wanted to get this out a lot earlier, but got distracted by a lot of
    work at $DAYJOB. I'm sorry about sending this this late in the 2.35.0
    cycle.
    
    This applies cleanly on master and maint, but CI produces some weird
    build failures that seem unrelated in both of those situations.
    
    On master the FreeBSD fails with
    
    > archive.c:337:35: error: '_Generic' is a C11 extension
    > [-Werror,-Wc11-extensions] strbuf_addstr(&path_in_archive,
    > basename(path)); ^ /usr/include/libgen.h:61:21: note: expanded from
    > macro 'basename' #define basename(x) __generic(x, const char *,
    > __old_basename, basename)(x) ^ /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:329:2: note:
    > expanded from macro '__generic' _Generic(expr, t: yes, default: no)
    
    While on maint the CI / linux32 (daald/ubuntu32:xenial) job just
    straight up can't find make. I have no clue what's up with that, but I'm
    fairly certain I'm not the direct cause of either of those failures.

Dscho, how does this look?  My choices are

 - Waiting for review.
 - Will merge to 'next'.
 - Will merge to 'next' and then to 'master'.

The last one will make it as part of Git 2.35.0 final, unless there
is some unexpected breakage found later.

Thanks.

My preference is the last option, merge it down quickly.

I do not expect anything to break. Just like Matthias, I actually expect
future breakages to be fended off by this.

Merging it into v2.35.0 final will require a tiny fixup in
`compat/win32/flush.c` (which we carry in Git for Windows already), but
that's a much smaller deal than the fall-out of the v2.34.0 refactorings
we had to deal with.

Thank you,
Dscho

And that future is here already. We just got a report of a problem that is
resolved by Matthias' patch:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/3624

And I did that, and opened a PR already, which I plan on merging soon:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/3626

Ciao,

Good.  Will do.  Thanks.
