It is more complicated than that. MSYS2 isn't just Cygwin. It has different environments.MSYS environment is just Cygwin and it uses Itanium IIRC for C and C++ non-Win32 calls since it emulates POSIX. If it links with Windows C runtime they use __cdecl. Win32 API calls always use __stdcall convention / ABI.However, Mingw environments (Mingw64, UCRT, CLANG etc.) are intended for native Windows development, hence, they use normal MSVC __cdecl ABI for C library calls and internal function calls too. Win32 calls are again __stdcall.Unlike C, for C++ all MSYS environments use Itanium ABI since they

Developers today trade rapid coding for sluggish execution, especially when using GC-heavy languages that suffer with heavy allocation. HasteRun delivers a SaaS compiler that instantly transforms high‑level code into highly optimized machine binaries, eliminating GC overhead and giving teams the speed of scripting with near‑C performance.
Heavy-duty applications and virtualization layers are introducing crippling latency and CPU bottlenecks on Apple Silicon hardware. LatencyZero optimizes system-level resource scheduling to eliminate software slowdowns and restore native-speed execution.
Developers building event‑driven, serverless stacks are frustrated by webhook‑only integrations that force them to maintain extra infrastructure. EventSync converts those webhooks into a simple, pull‑based /events endpoint, letting teams retrieve change events on demand with minimal setup and zero webhook maintenance.
Linux users often struggle to run MS Office, resorting to clunky Wine setups or full VMs. WinBox offers a lightweight, pre‑configured Windows container with Office ready to launch via a browser, eliminating local installation hassles.
