I'm not a Windows developer, you'll have to excuse my ignorance on that. Pretty sure you're not shipping user32.dll with your applications though. Also, I didn't claim any tool would give a perfect answer on compatibility. They don't for ELF libraries either, they just catch most problems, especially accidental ones. The goal is 99.9%, not 100%. Just being unable to solve a problem perfectly doesn't mean you should give up without trying.

Windows kept system libraries stable and modern software does a lot to avoid them with abstractions on top because they are unpleasant to use. You could call that success but I think it’s just an extra layer of cruft.

Microsoft's famously terrifyingly large amount of engineering work that goes into maintaining backwards compatibility to allow you to run Windows 3.1 software on Windows 11 is certainly impressive, but maybe also is the exception that proves the rule. > Just being unable to solve a problem perfectly doesn't mean you should give up without trying. Currently no one can solve that problem at all, let alone imperfectly. If you can, I'd gladly sponsor your project, since it would make my life a lot easier.
