In this CL, we have introduced the "WinAdapter.h" header file.
This file includes declarations and definitions that will enable compilation of the code base on non-Windows platforms. These include:
* Disabling SAL annotations for non-Windows platforms.
* Defining some Windows-specifc macros that are not defined on other platforms.
* Defining Windows-specific types that are used throughout the codebase for non-Windows platforms.
This file is currently not complete. As we go forward, we will add more classes/structs/type definitions to this file for specific purposes. The contents of this file is completely disabled (#ifdef'd away) for Windows, and do not affect Windows compilation in any way. For the most part, this is our way of enabling compilation of the codebase on non-Windows platforms without making invasive changes to the existing cpp files, and without hindering any future development. Moreover, I have added the #include of this file for all the locations that will need it for successful Linux compilation.
