Is there fmemopen () in MinGW

Question

I am trying to compile code that uses the fmemopen function in MinGW. I found out that this feature is not available for MinGW. I need a function equivalent to fmemopen() .

Are there any alternative features that I can use?

Answer 1

there are no fmemopen equivalents on win32 due to lack of functionality in the kernel, I think cygwin implements it using a temporary file like this one: https://github.com/sightmachine/python-tesseract/blob/master/util-fmemopen .c
