The Microsoft C Run-Time Library for Windows Embedded CE supports a subset of the functions that are available in the full Microsoft C Run-Time Library for the desktop.
Supporting only a subset of the full library enables Windows Embedded CE to run on devices that have more limited resources than desktop computers.
The C Run-Time Library has been revised to provide significant security enhancements. Many new functions have been added, and some routines have been deprecated.
