Hi Team,

I am writing C api for both windows and linux. Gcc specific below header files are giving issue in VS 2019.
dirent.h,unistd.h, pthread.h.

What is the best possible way to overcome this issue in vs2019 native compiler.
My api is in C.
Please do let me know in case any further details are required.

Regards
Manish

    Maybe you can use the standard library (STL) or other libraries, such as BOOST.

    You can also detect the compilation environment and select the specific code using the #if or #ifdef, for example: 

    #ifdef _MSC_VER
   // Visual Studio
   . . .
#else
#ifdef __GNUC__
   // GCC 
   . . .
#endif
#endif
