Is there fmemopen() in MinGW

Question

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

Are there any alternative functions that I can use?

Answer 1

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