Microsoft breaks the ABI all the time, this is why there is usually several MSVCrt.dll versions installed.

Visual Studio 2017 - 2019 were the first time they ever bothered with it, plus it is planned that VS vNext will break it again.

This not counting the other C++ compilers on Windows with their own standard libraries, like C++ Builder and Intel C++.

There is always COM/WinRT if I want an OOP ABI that doesn't break as easily.
