Indeed, although the above is functionally identical. Feel free to submit a patch if you feel strongly about it...
Interesting idea, but I wonder how you can distinguish between equal 0 and FALSE without some real magic! Same applies to lstrcmpi
No magic required. Use GetLastError(), just like it says.
Well so you want to say, if I want to test strings for equality I do first have to call GetLastError() to check if it was an error or if they are really equal?
This won't work as by definition a WinAPI function is usually not supposed to reset the last error if no error has occurred, so GetLastError() may return an error even though the strings were just simply equal.
So I think that documentation is just simply wrong, also MSDN doesn't say anything about this function returning any error indication.
