Please update winnt.h

[Wolfgang]

Hello NI,

the second part of my earlier post here failed to get noticed so I dedicate an extra message for it 

When compiling (in CVI2015f1) with

#include <windows.h>

and extended warning level I receive the following warnings:

"winnt.h"(8780,19)    warning: cast from function call of type 'LONG64' (aka 'long long') to non-matching type 'PVOID' (aka 'void *')

"winnt.h"(8791,19)    warning: cast from function call of type 'LONG64' (aka 'long long') to non-matching type 'PVOID' (aka 'void *')

"winnt.h"(8802,19)    warning: cast from function call of type 'LONG64' (aka 'long long') to non-matching type 'PVOID' (aka 'void *')

My suggestion is to update the include file, thanks!

Hi Wolfgang,

Your suggestion was not missed. We made a decision to not modify the Windows SDK headers at this time. Modifying the Windows SDK headers is considered more risky of a change, which is why we did not add that change to the patch.

Thanks,

Is there a way to selectively silence these warnings? The code I inherited was being built without detailed warnings, and when I crank them up I find tons of casting issues to resolve, but I'd like to get a clean build which seems impossible with these windows header file warnings in the mix.
