Rust target for Windows Universal

Universal C RunTime

This seems to imply that there is now indeed only one way to compile and it can be linked into either Store App (or whatever they call it) and Desktop App. Which means that

Here is what an example Rust x86_64-msvc executable links against:

DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll
DLL Name: ADVAPI32.dll
DLL Name: USERENV.dll
DLL Name: SHELL32.dll
DLL Name: VCRUNTIME140.dll
DLL Name: api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll
DLL Name: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
DLL Name: api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll
DLL Name: api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
DLL Name: api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll
DLL Name: api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll

No, it actually does not. Well, how did you get this list anyway? By inspecting which DLLs are open at runtime. That is, fortunately. irrelevant. If the “universal” CRT is actually universal, these DLLs were LoadLibrary'd because they are available, but would be skipped when they are not. Windows 7 don't even have all the api-ms-win-crt-* ones, but the executables run there.
