What does it enable compared to the regular runtime? |
Nothing specific, it's just a newer CRT and should be more compatible with both MSVC and MinGW libraries and be more stable in general. MSVCRT is outdated (not even C99 compliant) and MinGW rely on bunch of hack to work with it. |

Does this also exist for x86_32, or is it 64-bit only? Also, what about ARM64?
There's some context in this video (at the linked timestamp) if anyone is curious: https://youtu.be/wxdn30G2LE8?t=437 Most notably, MSVCRT is not the same thing as the Visual C++ redistributable we have nowadays. |
