this is chromium, everything is built from source with the same compiler, there is zero issue with doing that.

This only does not work when using a DLL built with, say, visual studio 2008 and another built with 2015.

Actually a DLL built with the same version but with either a different c runtime library (e.g. MD or MT) or a different target (release or debug) will have this problem
