Maxim MasiutinandJoost VandeVondele	e8742bdab3	Made advanced Windows API calls dynamically linked ... Made advanced Windows API calls (those from Advapi32.dll) dynamically linked to avoid link errors when compiling using Intel icx compiler for Windows. https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4467 No functional change	2023-04-01 15:48:47 +02:00
Maxim MasiutinandJoost VandeVondele	7a6fa34f5f	Improve compatibility ... this makes it easier to compile under MSVC, even though we recommend gcc/clang for production compiles at the moment. In Win32 API, by default, most null-terminated character strings arguments are of wchar_t (UTF16, formerly UCS16-LE) type, i.e. 2 bytes (at least) per character. So, src/misc.cpp should have proper type. Respectively, for src/syzygy/tbprobe.cpp, in Widows, file paths should be std::wstring rather than std::string. However, this requires a very big number of changes, since the config files are also keeping the 8-bit-per-character std::string strings. Therefore, just one change of using 8-byte-per-character CreateFileA make it compile under MSVC. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4438 No functional change	2023-04-01 15:36:08 +02:00
Maxim MasiutinandJoost VandeVondele	70dfa141d5	Clarify the description of the x86-64-vnni256 and x86-64-avxvnni architectures ... Now it is clearly explained that "x86-64-vnni256" requires full support of AVX512-VNNI, but only 256-bit operands are used. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4427 No functional change	2023-03-08 07:14:07 +01:00
