// Workaround to fix Windows conflict: Windows changes the name of some functions (DrawText, LoadLibrary...)
// with Unicode / ANSI versions for his own API (DrawTextW, DrawTextA, LoadLibraryW, LoadLibraryA...).
// But the changes are global for the compiler. Deep in headers, Windows has something like:
// #ifdef UNICODE
//   #define DrawText  DrawTextW
//   #define LoadLibrary LoadLibraryW
// #else
//   #define DrawText  DrawTextA
//   #define LoadLibrary LoadLibraryA
// #endif
// Then the linker tries to find the function DrawTextW on an external DLL and an unresolved external error happens because
// Unreal has no function DrawTextW, it has just DrawText.
// We can fix that by just undefining the function that conflicts with the name of the Windows API in Unicode.
#undef DrawText
