2 Source code modification

Change snprintf to _ snprintf

Change fmin to min

Change fmax to max

3 header file missing

Stdbool.h

Stdint.h

This header file is mainly the standard header file of C99. These two header files are not found in the VS header file, so they can be copied from other machines (such as Android NDK or cywin copy installed).

4 GLFW3 uninstalls the vulkan project in the Tests folder, which currently cannot be compiled through

5 Why does glew32.dll need to be placed in the directory C:\ Windows\ SysWOW64, which is actually a 32-bit dll
