S_ISREG macro undefined
After having inspected Microsoft's sys/stat.h, I found that the following modification of @OliverZendel's answer worked for me, with Visual Studio 2017, and hopefully on other compilers as well:
// Windows does not define the S_ISREG and S_ISDIR macros in stat.h, so we do.// We have to define _CRT_INTERNAL_NONSTDC_NAMES 1 before #including sys/stat.h// in order for Microsoft's stat.h to define names like S_IFMT, S_IFREG, and S_IFDIR,// rather than just defining _S_IFMT, _S_IFREG, and _S_IFDIR as it normally does.#define _CRT_INTERNAL_NONSTDC_NAMES 1#include <sys/stat.h>#if !defined(S_ISREG) && defined(S_IFMT) && defined(S_IFREG) #define S_ISREG(m) (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)#endif#if !defined(S_ISDIR) && defined(S_IFMT) && defined(S_IFDIR) #define S_ISDIR(m) (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR)#endif
