That's the major selling point. Doing without this is giving up a lot;
nonetheless, I find myself considering strategies that would ameliorate its
absence.
Yea, for VOS this is pretty much essential. Besides the fact that most
classes in VOS are reference counted (so may be deleted anywhere), we pass
objects like std::string around between DLLs quite a bit which of course
does its underlying allocation on the heap.
What I've been trying to figure out is how mingw handles C runtimes. As
far as I can tell it links with msvcrt.dll, which I presume is the usual C
runtime, but I've been getting these annoying SIGTRAP assertions (Invalid
Address specified to RtlFreeHeap) that I mentioned in my previous email,
which would suggest that it is using different heaps. I'm so confused.
