The Universal C Runtime (UCRT).

2015: the runtime is split into 2 parts. An Operating System part, and a compiler specific part.


1. The OS part - The Universal CRT (UCRT)


Contains pure library code independent of any compiler's requirements.
Is part of the OS as of Windows 10. Updated through Windows Update.


Implemented in ucrtbase.dll. Previously implemented in appcrt140.dll and desktopcrt140.dll.


2. The Compiler specific part - The VCRuntime


Contains compiler dependent code. E.g. CRT application startup, exception handling, intrinsic (inline) functions.


Implemented in vcruntime140.dll and msvcp140.dll.
