docs: add BugSplat_IsWerEnabled to the Windows C API reference - #326
Merged
Conversation
The C++ class method IsWerEnabled was already documented, but the C API had no equivalent until bugsplat-windows#162 added one. Without it, P/Invoke and C consumers had no way to tell whether the WER path was armed. Notes what is lost when it returns 0, since WER registration fails silently when BugSplatWer.dll is missing or the registry value is absent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Documents
BugSplat_IsWerEnabled, added in bugsplat-windows#162.The C++
IsWerEnabled()method was already in the reference, but the C API had no equivalent — so P/Invoke and C consumers had no way to tell whether the WER path was armed. That matters because WER registration fails silently whenBugSplatWer.dllisn't beside the executable or theRuntimeExceptionHelperModulesvalue is missing, and what's lost is exactly the crashes nothing else can catch: stack buffer overrun, heap corruption, and__fastfail.The entry links to the existing Registry Changes section rather than repeating the setup.
Merge timing
Hold until bugsplat-windows#162 ships in a release, so the documented export exists in the SDK customers can download. It's queued for the next one.
