Library !

[Adcock]

First of all go to this link.
Just because msvcrt.dll is a system library is it unsafe to link against it directly ?
I have heard mingw does this.
How does mingw implement c/cpp 11 or 14 while it links against msvcrt.dll ?
(As far as I know msvcrt.dll is a C99 library)

Update:
It seems that there are several ways to link against a library.
What is Stub ?
How do I link against a static library(.lib) so that linker only links the used functions instead of linking the whole library ?
(I mean is there a specific name for this process ?)
What is import library ? Why use it ?

(I ask these questions here because there are two groups of people who knows about this 100 percent correctly and the other ones will only tell what they want others to do)

Why take the risk?
