Hi, The documentation of `CLinker::systemLookup` [1] says this:
* Obtains a system lookup which is suitable to find symbols in the standard C libraries. However, currently it is not possible to look up common stdio.h symbols, such as `printf`, using the system lookup on Windows 10. This is because the backing library that is loaded, namely `ucrtbase.dll`, does not contain these symbols, as they are implemented in the standard library as inline functions. This patch changes the system lookup implementation on Windows 10 to make these symbols findable as well, by using a fallback library that forces the generation of the code for the inline functions, and exposes the missing symbols as a table of function pointers. See also the prior review of this patch for the panama-foreign repo: https://github.com/openjdk/panama-foreign/pull/547 Since the exact set of symbols findable by the system lookup is unspecified, and since the API in question (`CLinker::systemLookup`) was added only last week [2], I've elected to not create a CSR for this patch, but please let me know if one is needed).
