     3 Runtimes

     4 -------------------

     5 Diferent 'run-time' (libc & company) libraries cannot be used together. Windows provides several different runtimes:

     6 - Multithread Release Unicode

     7 - Multithread Debug Unicode

     8 - Multithread Release

     9 - Multithread Debug

    10 

    11 Each may have different memory allocators, so code linked with any of those runtimes cannot be mixed

    12 with code linked with other runtimes.

    13 Neither statically or dynamically.

    15 Arinna

    16 -------------------

    17 For example, a Arinna dll compiled with runtime X cannot load a FrameGrabberDriver compiled

    18 with a runtime Y, X!=Y.
