A list of features we'd really like to see in MinGW
Contents
gcc
- SEH. Really
- __uuidof and __declspec(uuid)
- native support for __int8, __int16, __int32 and __int64
- __ptr32 and __ptr64
- Microsoft-compatible string pooling (give each string a special decorated name and a COMDAT)
g++
- SEH-compatible unwinding. Also SEH
- Microsoft-compatible ABI
- ktietz of mingw-w64 is already working on compatible symbol name decoration
binutils
- recognize the libraryname.lib pattern as equivalent to liblibraryname.a
ld
- COMDATs and identical COMDAT folding
- alias __image_base__ to __ImageBase
- honor linker directives embedded in object files (.drectve), especially /EXPORT and /DEFAULTLIB
