CreateFile() is not deprecated. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363858(v=vs.85).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3... OpenFile() could be considered deprecated but the official documentation doesn't mark it as deprecated. You missed the point that these API have been stable for decades and software will continue to work without any change.

> CreateFile() is not deprecated. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3.. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3.... "OpenFile() has been deprecated and replaced by CreateFile(), which was superseded by CreateFile2()." I never said CreateFile() was deprecated. Superseded is not the same thing. > OpenFile() could be considered deprecated but the official documentation doesn't mark it as deprecated. "Note This function has limited capabilities and is not recommended. For new application development, use the CreateFile function." Looks pretty much an euphemism for deprecated. > You missed the point that these API have been stable for decades and software will continue to work without any change. Not when Windows puts a container around what they can see.
