Can be broken for C Runtime, depending on versions of Windows, see fmod broken here:
This is complicated as the UCRT is shipped by windows, but the c++ team first has to fix it then convince the windows team to ship a hotfix.
- When using dynamic linking for C runtime libraries (
/MDbuild option) - The resulting application needs to access the Visual C++ Runtime files
- If Windows can't find one of the redistributable library DLLs required by your application, it may display a message similar to: "This application has failed to start because library.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
- One option is to install these files on the user's system
- The application can be redistributed with such an installer

- I like the C API, and single-file distribution, but had the following problems
- no support for matrix inverse
- troubles building in C++ code, with gcc:
error: ISO C++ prohibits anonymous structs [-Werror=pedantic]
