Add MINGWARM64 environment?

Open ghost opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

Microsoft has added support for Windows On ARM64 to GCC 15. Is it time to add MINGWARM64 environment?

Isn't it more like UCRTARM64?

Windows On ARM64 doesn't support MSVCRT? Only UCRT? I don't know about that!

I don't know either, but:

  1. every WoA64 installation provides UCRT out of the box.
  2. this is a new platform, so nobody should have compatibility reasons to stick to MSVCRT.

UCRTARM64 would make more sense, I don't think there is any reason to stay on MSVCRT on ARM64.

Also I don't think the ARM64 target will be ready by 15.1... We'll see.

2. this is a new platform, so nobody should have compatibility reasons to stick to MSVCRT.

I could see people wanting the performance of a native ARM64 application, while keeping behaviours consistent with MSVCRT applications on other CPU architectures.
