Developing an Application > Microsoft C Run-time Library for Windows CE
The Coredll.lib and Corelibc.lib library files contain the C run-time library functions.
The Microsoft Windows CE operating system run-time library does not support American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C or POSIX.
All run-time library routines included with this product are compatible with the Win32 API. The C run-time libraries support Windows 95 and Windows NT, but not Win32s.
The Microsoft C Run-Time Library for Windows CE supports a subset of functions available in the full Microsoft C Run-Time Library for the desktop. Supporting only a subset of the library enables Windows CE to run on devices that have more limited resources than desktop computers.
