how good is it? Probably doesn't support SEH?

It does for 64-bit since version 3.0.0 or even earlier(2015), and 32-bit since 3.2.0 (2020)

The reason for the difference is afaik that on 64-bit calling SEH code broke if the calling code didn't, so it was a must. Also when the original 32-bit exception code was written (1999 or thereabouts) the patents on table driven exceptions were still active.

I've been seeing:

Code:

push byte 0xXX
pop reg

... for size optimized code, so there is hope that compiler writers will take these things more serious.

I just coded a very small utility (using C++ classes of course) in Visual Studio 2019 -- 11Kb (in Release build). I used /NODEFAULTLIB, but I had to code some string functions myself.

Yeah, not using the standard library is the way to go.
