Many (by no means all) of your questions are about c++, rather than
gcc or even more specifically mingw-w64.

You will generally get more useful and detailed answers to such
questions on one of the c++ news groups.  You'll also be helping
out others who read those groups (and don't follow this list) who
might learn something from the discussions.

comp.lang.c++ is an unmoderated group, and is quite good (although
it can be a little noisy at times, and sometimes the commentary gets
snarky).

comp.lang.c++.moderated is similar, but, well, moderated.  The
discussions are also quite good, but the turn-around is a little slower
due to the moderation.

One way to see whether your question is specific to mingw-w64 would
be to try compiling with another compiler.  For example, if you see the
same issue compiling with gcc on unix (or cygwin), then it's probably
a c++ issue rather than a mingw-w64 issue (although it could be a
gcc issue).  For compile time issues, you can also try the Comeau
online compiler:

   www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout/

That could help you distinguish between a c++ issue, and a gcc (or
mingw-w64) issue.

Of course, you can browse those news groups in advance of posting
anything to see whether you like their culture and whether they might
be useful to you
