MSVC support; [.github/workflows/cmake.yml] Add macOS and Windows building + testing
Added MSVC support, cross-platform testing in CI, and switched to more secure variants of C stdlib function (whence enabled or MSVC).
This closes #176, next is to close #251 (vcpkg is what I use for the rest of my deps).
@emcrisostomo I'll review your requested changes when I get the chance—my last commit was in February, first PR sent in November—and amend accordingly.
I can maintain compatibility with autotools (I suppose), for the symbol exporters I can create a pure C header file with the necessary ifdefs for each of gcc, clang, and msvc. If you want more than those compilers then I guess expand the list yourself. Alternatively; and preferably; Makefiles can be generated from CMake.
I'm actually very much interested in native MSVC support (without the need for Cygwin, dirent.h and other compatibility layers). Does this PR provide native MSVC support? @SamuelMarks , is it still actively pursued?
@emmenlau There were a lot of changes requested and compatibility with existing autotools toolchain required.
If I get the chance will make the edits and update to latest master in the process. But really would like a more complete test suite to confirm this all works (not to mention the delayed responses in feedback on the PR)
