Consider upgrading our port to using Windows' UCRT #192

Open wyldckat opened 2 years ago

Quoting from https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/

UCRT (Universal C Runtime) is a newer version which is also used by Microsoft Visual Studio by default. It should work and behave as if the code was compiled with MSVC.

* Better compatibility with MSVC, both at build time and at run time.
* It only ships by default on Windows 10 and for older versions you have to provide it yourself or depend on the user having it installed.

This means that using the latest and greatest capabilities provided by Windows 10, should give us a leg up in performance and feature capabilities...
