The Coredll.lib and Corelibc.lib library files contain the C run-time library functions.
The Windows Embedded 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 Embedded 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 Embedded CE to run on devices that have more limited resources than desktop computers.
The following list shows categories of functions available in the full C Run-time Library that are not supported in Windows Embedded CE.
- Buffer manipulation
- Character classification and comparison
- Console and port I/O
- Data conversion
- File handling and pointer positioning
- File reading and writing
- Math
- Memory handling
- String manipulation and string errors
- System calls
