https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/windows/native/libjava/java_props_md.c#L456 We compile currently with Windows 8+ settings : # _WIN32_WINNT=0x0602 means access APIs for Windows 8 and above. See # https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/modifying-winver-and-win32-winnt?view=msvc-170 ALWAYS_DEFINES="-DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0602 \ So everything older than Windows 8 could most likely be removed. ------------- Commit messages: - JDK-8370393 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28022/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=28022&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8370393 Stats: 54 lines in 1 file changed: 0 ins; 53 del; 1 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28022.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/28022/head:pull/28022 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28022
