Hi,
I have spent some time to investigate the mixed-mode msvcrt issue.
There are three different runtime DLLs:
msvcm80/90.dll managed C++ runtime implemented using native code
msvcp80/90.dll C++ runtime
msvcr80/90.dll C runtime
The managed version does only have it's own functionaly while even managed
executables created with MS VC++ import the usual C/C++ runtime
functionality from msvcp80/90.dll and msvcr80/90.dll files.
So there is no need to duplicate C runtime functionality in msvcm80/90.dll.
msvcm80/90.dll files are part of MS VC++ redistributable files just as the
other runtime files are so I think there is no need to duplicate this
functionality because the original MS versions are redistributable with the
applications.
I also have read the EULAs of MS VC++ 2005 and 2008 redistributables and
none of the forbids the use on non-Microsoft operating systems:
