Then it'd be a matter of trying to compile it, fixing any instances where we rely on newer CRT features, and then doing the same thing with the tests.
Thanks a lot for your help! We're going to give this a try (I've also submitted a patch to cryptopp for now). Does linking to msvcrt like this conflict with the previous work with ucrt? Or does it just supplement it by loading msvcrt when needed? I want to make sure I understand all of the implications/impact before proposing a major change (although I guess technically you proposed it)
I don't quite recall what the motivations for switching to ucrtbase were, but I suspect they were along the lines of "ucrtbase is newer and therefore objectively better". Which is true, but unfortunately it seems like we still need to use msvcrt...
