Description

In Win32API.rb, it is not possible to call a function without arguments.
I could avoid it for the time being if I did the following (against trunk).

diff --git a/ext/win32/lib/Win32API.rb b/ext/win32/lib/Win32API.rb
index d03ecc1..946be3e 100644

     import = @proto.chars.map {|win_type| TYPEMAP[win_type.tr(WIN32_TYPES, DL_T

For workaround, you can use '' instead of '0'.

Thank you very much.
I just learned that only nil was clearly stating that there are no arguments in the previous document.
I used a single 'V' to specify no arguments, so it was up to this idea.

I tried with ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [i386-mingw32] and ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13) [i386-mingw32] and was able to call a function without an argument:

require 'Win32API'
getch = Win32API.new("C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\crtdll.dll", "_getch", [], 'L')
getch.Call
# => 97

So I think this can be closed.
