Subject: Where is GetCurrentFiber?

I can find the declaration for this Win32 API function in
/usr/include/w32api/winnt.h, but I cannot find the implementation in any
library file.  The other fiber calls are in /usr/lib/libkernel32.a

In the Visual Studio header file WINNT.H, this function is defined as:

_inline PVOID GetCurrentFiber( void ) { __asm mov eax, fs:[0x10] }

This uses Visual C++ specific assembler syntax.

However, in /usr/lib/w32api/winnt.h it is defined as:

PVOID GetCurrentFiber(void);

Here it is not inlined, so it should appear in a library somewhere, right??

Was this function (Also GetFiberData) just overlooked??

How can I write the above inlined function in a gcc-compatible way?

Thanks for any help,
