We have extended some parts -of the C runtime to be C99 compliant but for the most part you can find the -documentation provided by http://msdn.microsoft.com to be your best source for -how to use these libraries in your C programming. The GNU C++ compiler (g++) -has its own implementation of the C++ standard and the documentation you find -for stdc++ on the http://gcc.gnu.org site will be your best source of informa- -tion for it.

Historically, development has been +focused on support for the 32-bit MS-Windows platform. However, these +libraries are intended for use in both 32-bit and 64-bit programming; +patches to imporve support for both platforms, and in particular the +64-bit platform, will be gratefully considered. + +Parts of the C runtime have been adapted to improve C99 compliance, but +for the most part you may find that Microsoft's documentation, provided +at http://msdn.microsoft.com, offers the most useful advice on the use +the MinGW.org-WSL libraries in your own programming. + +The GNU C++ Compiler (g++) provides its own implementation of the C++ +standard; http://gcc.gnu.org offers the most useful documentation for +this particular implementation of the C++ standard. (Do please note +that not all features of this implementation are fully supported on +the MS-Windows platforms). -- 2.11.0
