Isn't msvcrt source code included with Visual Studio? I distinctly remember looking through it many years ago.
And I see it now too on my install: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.37.32822\crt\src
But maybe it's not 100% of it and some key parts and missing, and obviously there might be legal issues reading this source code.
- ack_complete 3y agoNot complete. Some parts are licensed, such as math libraries, and VS dropped the ability to rebuild the CRT DLL externally some time ago. A lot of it does have viewable source, but some critical core routines are only shipped compiled.
