Nope. But a compatibility layer in usermode should be enough for now > How big is the danger that newer MSVC versions can't be used to > compile ReactOS anymore? (E.g. loosing the capability to build Win > XP compatible files) We use a barebones compiler, without any SDK or something. The only danger I see - they may remove support for old architectures or SEH mechanism (CxxFrameHandler3). So far latest version work And we always have GCC and clang, the latter is going to have a full SEH support in some near future Victor On Thu, 2020-11-26 at 10:07 +0100, mich...@fritscher.net wrote: > Moin, > > a few questions: > * How much work needs to be done to get newer versions of MSVC > running > by e.g. using the shims?
